### Step-by-step guide to analyze ACIS data: {{{
 (1) $ chandra_repro indir=. outdir=repro verbose=2
 (2) $ cd repro; mkdir -p evt bkg img spc/profile mass;
 (3) $ cd evt; ln -s ../acis*evt2.fits .;
 (4) $ ciao_procevt.sh
 (5) $ cd ../bkg; ln -s ../evt/evt2*_clean.fits .;
 (6) $ ciao_blanksky.sh
 (7) ds9 open 'evt2*_clean.fits'; select edge region as the
     *local background*, save as 'lbkg.reg';
     and estimate the phonton counts:
 (8) $ dmlist "evt2*_clean.fits[sky=region(lbkg.reg)][energy=400:8000]" blocks
 (9) $ ciao_bkg_spectra.sh reg="lbkg.reg" basedir=.. nh=<nh> z=<z>
(10) $ xspec
(11) xspec> @xspec_lbkg_model.xcm
     xspec> fit
     xspec> cpd /xs
     xspec> pl l del
     xspec> @<path>/xspec_bkgcorr.tcl
(12) $ cd ../img
     $ ln -s ../evt/evt2*_clean.fits .
     $ ln -s ../bkg/bkgcorr_blanksky_lbkg.pi .  # maybe 'lbkg.pi'
     $ ln -s ../pcadf*_asol1.fits .
(13) ds9 open 'evt2*_clean.fits', select the center of cluster,
     save the region as 'center.reg'
(14) $ ciao_genregs.sh reg_in=center.reg bkgd=<bkgd>
(15) $ cd ../spc/profile
     $ ln -s ../../evt/evt2*_clean.fits .
     $ ln -s ../../bkg/bkgcorr_blanksky_lbkg.pi .  # maybe 'lbkg.pi'
     $ ln -s ../../img/rspec.reg img_rspec.reg
(16) ds9 open 'evt2*_clean.fits' with regs 'img_rspec.reg';
     adjust the regions and save as 'rspec.reg'
(17) create conf file '<NAME>_spec.conf' like:
     basedir    ../..
     reg        rspec.reg
     bkgd       bkgcorr_blanksky_lbkg.pi | lbkg.pi
     nh         <nh>
     z          <redshift>
(18) $ ciao_deproj_spectra.sh reg="rspec.reg" bkgd=<bkgd> basedir="../.." nh=<nh> z=<z>
(19) Fit the radial spectra to derive the radial temperature profile:
     $ xspec
     xspec> @xspec_deproj.xcm
     xspec> fit
     (more tweaks when necessary)
     xspec> @<path>/xspec_tprofile.tcl
     (input 1)
     xspec> exit
(20) fix 'NULL' values in 'tcl_temp_profile.qdp' & 'tcl_temp_profile.txt'
(21) Determine the average temperature and abundance:
     $ xspec
     xspec> newpar <..>=<..> (bind all kT's and Abundanc's)
     xspec> fit
     (get average temperature and abundance)
     xspec> exit
(22) $ cd ../../img;
     create '<NAME>_expcorr.conf' with contents:
     basedir    ..
     reg        sbprofile.reg
     nh         <nh>
     z          <redshift>
     temp       <avg_temp>
     abund      <avg_abund>
(23) $ ciao_expcorr_sbp.sh basedir=.. nh=<nh> z=<redshift> temp=<avg_temp> abund=<avg_abund>
## --------------------------------------------------------

(24) $ cd ../mass; clean_massdir.sh;
(25) check needed linked files:
     sbprofile.txt, flux_sbp.txt, radius_sbp.txt, tcl_temp_profile.txt
(26) check needed config files:
     wang2012_param.txt,
     fitting_mass.conf, fitting_sbp.conf,
     fitting_dbeta_mass.conf, fitting_dbeta_sbp.conf,
     global.cfg
(27) $ fitwang wang2012_param.txt
(28) $ qdp fit_result.qdp   # check fitted temperature profile
(29) $ fitsbp fitting_mass.conf   # single-beta sbp
     $ fitsbp fitting_dbeta_mass.conf    # double-beta sbp
(30) $ qdp sbp_fit.qdp   # check fitted sbp
(31) $ ln -s fitting_mass.conf global.cfg   # use single-beta
     $ ln -s fitting_dbeta_mass.conf global.cfg   # use double-beta
(32) $ fitnfw <z> [rmin_kpc]
(33) $ qdp nfw_fit_result.qdp   # check fitted nfw profile, and ajust 'rmin_kpc'
(34) add 'nfw_rmin_kpc' to 'global.cfg'
(35) $ fitmass global.cfg c    # calculate the center values
(36) $ fitmass global.cfg 2>&1 | tee global_<date>.log    # calculate mass data
(37) $ collect_infodata.sh
(38) $ cd ../img;
     $ chandra_update_xcentroid.sh
(39) $ cd ../spc/profile;
(40) $ chr500 inner=0.1 outer=0.5   # check 0.5R500 range
     $ chr500 inner=0.2 outer=0.5
(41) $ xspec
     xspec> @xspec_r500avgt_0.1-0.5.xcm
     xspec> fit; fit;
     xspec> cpd /xs; pl l del;
     xspec> error 1. 2 3    # calc errors (68%) of kT and Abundanc
(42) update the data of 'T(0.1-0.5 R500)', 'Z(0.1-0.5 R500)' ...

## --------------------------------------------------------
(43) $ cd ../..;  # in 'repro' dir
     $ cp -a mass lxfx; cd lxfx;
(44) $ calclxfx global.cfg c 500 200  # 'c' for center values
     $ calclxfx global.cfg 500 200  # calc 'errors'
(45) $ getlxfx . c 500 200  # for center results
     $ getlxfx . 500 200  # for all results (with errors)

## --------------------------------------------------------
(46) $ cd ..; cd spc/profile;
     calculate cooling time and Csb value:
     $ ciao_calc_ct_csb.sh
     check the region whether exceeds ccd edge, and answer y/n
     check results in file 'ct_csb_results.txt'
     ---
     Alternatively:
     $ ciao_calc_ct.sh
     $ ciao_calc_csb.sh
     check the region whether exceeds ccd edge, and answer y/n
     check results in file 'cooling_results.txt' and 'csb_results.txt'
     ---
