analyses, and is used by both SAS and eSASS.

Another related software package is the other module in our open-source X-ray astronomy ecosystem, X-ray: Generate
and Analyse ([Xga]{.smallcaps}; @xga). It has none of the same features as [Daxa]{.smallcaps}, as it exists to
analyse large sets of X-ray data, but we created [Daxa]{.smallcaps} to build and manage the kind of dataset required for
[Xga]{.smallcaps} to attain maximum usefulness (though such datasets do not _have_ to be analysed with
[Xga]{.smallcaps}).
and Analyse ([Xga]{.smallcaps}; @xga) - it exists to analyse large samples of sources using large sets of X-ray
data. [Daxa]{.smallcaps} is designed to go hand-in-hand with [Xga]{.smallcaps}, as it will build and manage the kind of
dataset required for [Xga]{.smallcaps} to attain maximum usefulness. We emphasise that such datasets do not _have_ to
be analysed with [Xga]{.smallcaps}) however.

[Daxa]{.smallcaps} is greater than the sum of its parts, but is only possible because of the existing software packages
it builds upon; we hope that it only enhances the value that astrophysicists derive from the other software we have
mentioned.
We have created a one-stop-shop for downloading and processing archival X-ray data, making it more accessible and
user-friendly, particularly for non-specialists. [Daxa]{.smallcaps} is greater than the sum of its parts, but is only
possible because of the existing software packages it builds upon; we hope that it only enhances the value that
astrophysicists derive from the other software we have mentioned.
