DavidT3 / XGA

X-ray: Generate and Analyse is a module designed to make the analysis of XMM observations simple and efficient. It provides an interface with SAS for the creation of XMM data products, as well as a way to easily perform fits (scalable for multiple observations) and retrieve information about an object, all within a Python package.

Include Chandra-specific cluster scaling relations from literature #1240

Same as we'll need to do/might have already done(?) with eROSITA, some mission-specific cluster relations should be included, as we know that the temperatures measured are different for all missions.

This will be of particular importance to the XGA-LTR pipeline, which is the tool that makes iterative measurement of radii, temperatures, and luminosities from X-ray data very easy - obviously want that fully working.

Should also add some 'translation layer' relations in, that calibrate between temperatures measured with different telescopes and allows for conversions between them (the Schellenberger 2014 paper's calibrations for instance).
