X-TRA - X-ray Template Realization Algorithm - a template approach to realizing large-scale, synthetic X-ray emission maps from groups and clusters of galaxies. The method applies scaling relations and template emission shapes to an input set of halo masses and redshifts (derived from N-body simulation lightcone outputs), producing raw surface brightness maps in the X-ray wavelength. The approach offers a fast, flexible means to characterize transfer functions and systematic error sources in X-ray surveys.
