X-ray Hardness

Convolved/Predicted ACIS-S hardness plot

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. HD 93129AB in Obsid 7204 is circled in red on the plot.
