Hardness Ratios and Quantiles

Hardness ratios and quantiles are calculated from the predicted ACIS-S or ACIS-I aimpoint spectra, as indicated.
Hardness Ratios
Aimpoint HR1 = (H-M)/(H+M) HR2 = (M-S)/(M+S) HR3 = (H-S)/(H+S)
ACIS-S -0.781 -0.239 -0.859
ACIS-I -0.750 -0.077 -0.782
S, M, and H represent the predicted total counts in the following passbands:
S: 0.3-0.9 keV
M: 0.9-1.5 keV
H: 1.5-8.0 keV
Quantiles
Aimpoint Quantiles 25 % 25 % Error 50 % 50 % Error 75 % 75 % Error
ACIS-S keV 0.767 0.000 0.869 7.131 1.015 0.001
Q-norm 0.061 0.000 0.074 0.926 0.093 0.000
ACIS-I keV 0.796 7.204 0.898 0.000 1.088 0.002
Q-norm 0.064 0.936 0.078 0.000 0.102 0.000
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
