👋 Welcome!

This Discussions space will be used as a place for making announcements, and more importantly for users of XGA to connect with one another. Hopefully you can:

• Ask questions you’re wondering about.
• Share ideas.
• Make some new connections
• Start new scientific collaborations

To get started, you could star this repository and comment below with an introduction, where you're based, and what you're working on!

hi everyone:) my name is Violetta, and i am currently obtaining an MSc degree in Astronomy in University of Sussex. i used to work on X-ray Isolated Neutron Stars, and my first contribution to XGA was to implement a blackbody fit model. nowadays i am working with dark matter and galaxy cluster, trying to determine the properties that Axion-Like Particles need to have in order to be Dark Matter by observing the influence they will have on the spectrum of a QSO shining through a highly magnetised Galaxy Cluster.

Hello everyone, my name is Grace and I am a 4th year MPhys Physics with Astrophysics student at the University of Sussex. For my final year project, I am trying to develop a method of categorising galaxy clusters into relaxed or non-relaxed. At the moment, I am using XGA to work out the temperatures within different regions of clusters to try and confirm whether or not they host a cool core by comparing results to previous studies.
If I have time, I will then use XGA to produce gas density profiles of the cluster sample. A peakier profile towards the centre is another good indicator of a cluster hosting a cool core.
