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	0.575	0.777	0.935
ACIS-I	0.600	0.819	0.951

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	1.540	0.013	2.241	0.023	3.672	0.036
ACIS-S	Q-norm	0.161	0.002	0.252	0.003	0.438	0.005
ACIS-I	keV	1.570	0.014	2.329	0.027	3.906	0.050
ACIS-I	Q-norm	0.165	0.002	0.263	0.004	0.468	0.007

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.
