Modify Concept: X-ray surveys #499
Description
Name the concept in question
X-ray surveys (https://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1824)
Describe the change
X-ray surveys (https://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1824) appears to be a narrower concept of Sky surveys (https://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1464). However, both currently share a broader concept: Surveys (https://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1671).
Sky surveys has definition:
The observation and recording of large extents of the sky with a particular instrument using one or more wavelengths in the same spectral domain.

Please include any additional comments/feedback
#498 proposes a similar change to Ultraviolet surveys (https://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1742); even if these concepts ultimately keep their current broader term adding a definition and additional related terms will be helpful.
#500 & #501 propose new concepts for radio surveys and infrared surveys. These terms should be added and structured similarly to this one.
