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 -0.021 0.214 0.194
ACIS-I 0.045 0.422 0.459
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 0.913 0.006 1.219 0.006 1.891 0.009
Q-norm 0.080 0.001 0.119 0.001 0.207 0.001
ACIS-I keV 1.000 0.007 1.394 0.007 2.110 0.022
Q-norm 0.091 0.001 0.142 0.001 0.235 0.003
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
