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	-0.615	0.076	-0.565
ACIS-I	-0.568	0.259	-0.363

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	0.810	0.000	0.956	7.044	1.175	0.000
ACIS-S	Q-norm	0.066	0.000	0.085	0.915	0.114	0.000
ACIS-I	keV	0.869	0.000	1.015	6.985	1.292	0.000
ACIS-I	Q-norm	0.074	0.000	0.093	0.907	0.129	0.000

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.
