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 0.981 0.463 0.993
ACIS-I 0.983 0.521 0.995
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 3.015 0.007 3.906 0.006 4.942 0.006
Q-norm 0.353 0.001 0.468 0.001 0.603 0.001
ACIS-I keV 3.088 0.007 3.993 0.000 5.088 0.004
Q-norm 0.362 0.001 0.480 0.000 0.622 0.001
Normalized quantiles (Q-norm) are defined as:
Qx = (Ex - Elo)/(Ehi - Elo)
Where Elo = 0.3 keV and Ehi = 8.0 keV.
