  The results from Suzaku XIS observations of the relaxed cluster of galaxies
Abell2052 are presented. Offset pointing data are used to estimate the Galactic
foreground emission in the direction to the cluster. Significant soft X-ray
excess emission above this foreground, the intra-cluster medium emission, and
other background components is confirmed and resolved spectroscopically and
radially. This excess can be described either by (a) local variations of known
Galactic emission components or (b) an additional thermal component with
temperature of about 0.2 keV, possibly associated with the cluster. The radial
temperature and metal abundance profiles of the intra-cluster medium are
measured within \sim 20 in radius (about 60% of the virial radius) from the
cluster center . The temperature drops radially to 0.5-0.6 of the peak value at
a radius of \sim 15'. The gas-mass-weighted metal abundance averaged over the
observed region is found to be 0.21 +- 0.05 times solar.
