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.

Astronomy X-ray Data Analysis

AI Summary: Implement a feature in the XGA Python module that allows users to specify a primary configuration file. This primary file would contain base settings, and individual user configuration files would inherit from it, overriding only necessary settings. This improves maintainability, especially in shared HPC environments.
