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 0.343 0.087 0.417
ACIS-I 0.446 0.334 0.679
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 0.956 0.007 1.657 0.020 4.606 0.037
Q-norm 0.085 0.001 0.176 0.003 0.559 0.005
ACIS-I keV 1.175 0.010 2.475 0.063 5.336 0.034
Q-norm 0.114 0.001 0.282 0.008 0.654 0.004
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
