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 -0.556 -0.139 -0.645
ACIS-I -0.504 0.101 -0.425
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 0.723 0.000 0.898 7.102 1.117 0.000
Q-norm 0.055 0.000 0.078 0.922 0.106 0.000
ACIS-I keV 0.810 0.003 0.986 7.015 1.278 0.003
Q-norm 0.066 0.000 0.089 0.911 0.127 0.000
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
