Bayes-X: a Bayesian inference tool for the analysis of X-ray observations of galaxy clusters

Olamaie, M., Feroz, F., Grainge, K. J. B. et al.

Understand

We present the first public release of our Bayesian inference tool, Bayes-X, for the analysis of X-ray observations of galaxy clusters.

We illustrate the use of Bayes-X by analysing a set of four simulated clusters at z=0.2-0.9 as they would be observed by a Chandra-like X-ray observatory.
In both the simulations and the analysis pipeline we assume that the dark matter density follows a spherically-symmetric Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) profile and that the gas pressure is described by a generalised NFW (GNFW) profile.
We then perform four sets of analyses.
