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. AR LAC-5 FIRST QUAD (2) in Obsid 10 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. AR LAC-5 FIRST QUAD (2) in Obsid 10 is circled in red on the plot.

Hardness Ratios for AR LAC-5 FIRST QUAD (2), Obsid 10
