X-ray Hardness and Quantiles

Hardness ratios calculated from the predicted ACIS-S Aimpoint spectra of selected X-Atlas targets (× = hot star; ◊ = cool star). S, M, and H are the total predicted counts in the passbands listed on the plot. Mu Vel in Obsid 1890 is circled in red on the plot.

Hardness ratios calculated from the predicted ACIS-I Aimpoint spectra of selected X-Atlas targets (× = hot star; ◊ = cool star). S, M, and H are the total predicted counts in the passbands listed on the plot. Mu Vel in Obsid 1890 is circled in red on the plot.
