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	0.087	0.047	0.133
ACIS-I	0.159	0.311	0.447

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	0.854	0.000	1.219	0.005	2.037	0.003
ACIS-S	Q-norm	0.072	0.000	0.119	0.001	0.226	0.000
ACIS-I	keV	1.000	0.000	1.453	0.004	2.621	0.009
ACIS-I	Q-norm	0.091	0.000	0.150	0.001	0.301	0.001

Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:

Q_x = (E_x - E_lo)/(E_hi - E_lo)

Where E_lo = 0.3 keV and E_hi = 8.0 keV.
