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 0.540 0.835 0.948
ACIS-I 0.567 0.869 0.962
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 1.511 0.007 2.124 0.013 3.584 0.018
Q-norm 0.157 0.001 0.237 0.002 0.427 0.002
ACIS-I keV 1.555 0.007 2.270 0.019 3.774 0.017
Q-norm 0.163 0.001 0.256 0.002 0.451 0.002
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
