Popis:	We use narrow spectral lines from the x-ray spectra of various highlycharged ions to measure low-energy tail-like deviations from a Gaussian responsefunction in a microcalorimter x-ray spectrometer with Au absorbers at energiesfrom 650 eV to 3320 eV. We review the literature on low energy tails in othermicrocalorimter x-ray spectrometers and present a model that explains all thereviewed tail fraction measurements. In this model a low energy tail arises fromthe combination of electron escape and energy trapping associated with Bi x-rayabsorbers.
