Abstract

In this work we developed a system to automate the processes of data reduction and analysis of galaxy clusters observed by Chandra X-ray satellite. This automation enables generation of temperature and gas density profiles from raw data of multiple observations, making data reduction and analysis easier and faster. The automation script uses a standard reducing data process from Chandra, extracts spectrum from data, and simultaneously fits the spectra of multiple observations while performing the deprojection process. We show some outputs of the reduction and analysis to demonstrate how the automation works. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
