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 0.083 0.664 0.708
ACIS-I 0.124 0.751 0.800
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 1.117 0.007 1.497 0.001 2.110 0.007
Q-norm 0.106 0.001 0.155 0.000 0.235 0.001
ACIS-I keV 1.175 0.005 1.555 0.006 2.285 0.011
Q-norm 0.114 0.001 0.163 0.001 0.258 0.001
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
