-Introduction
-------------
-This directory contains the tools/scripts used to fit the temperature
-profile and surface brightness file, to calculate the gas density profile
-and gravitational mass profile, to calculate luminosity and flux and
-other related quantities.
-
-
-NOTE
-----
-* Mass calculation references:
- + Walker et al. 2012, MNRAS, 422, 3503-3515,
- [ADS:2012MNRAS.422.3503W](http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.422.3503W)
- + Ettori et al. 2013, Space Science Reviews, 177, 119-154,
- [ADS:2013SSRv..177..119E](http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013SSRv..177..119E)
-* Errors are calculated at 68% confident level.
-* NFW profile is employed to extrapolate the mass profile.
-* We use a self-proposed model (see ``wang2012_model.hpp``) to describe/fit
- the gas temperature profile.
-* The single-beta and double-beta models (with a constant background) are used
- to describe the gas density profile.
-
-
-TODO
-----
-* Merge the scripts/tools for single-beta and double-beta SBP models
- (to reduce code duplications)
-* Uncertainties/errors calculation **maybe** inappropriate/problematic
- (e.g., ``analyze_mass_profile.py``);
- why not just use the quantile-based (e.g., Q84.15-Q15.85 ~= 68.3%)
- uncertainties or standard deviation???
