Statistical Models for Solar Flare Interval Distribution in Individual Active Regions
This article discusses statistical models for solar flare interval distribution in individual active regions. We analyzed solar flare data in 55 active regions that are listed in the Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) soft X-ray flare catalog for the years from 1981 to 2005. We discuss some problems with a conventional procedure to derive probability density functions fro...
متن کاملA Statistical Solar Flare Forecast Method
A Bayesian approach to solar flare prediction has been developed, which uses only the event statistics of flares already observed. The method is simple, objective, and makes few ad hoc assumptions. It is argued that this approach should be used to provide a baseline prediction for certain space weather purposes, upon which other methods, incorporating additional information, can improve. A prac...
متن کاملEvidence for departure from a power-law flare size distribution for a small solar active region
Active region 11029 was a small, highly flare-productive solar active region observed at a time of extremely low solar activity. The region produced only small flares: the largest of the > 70 Geostationary Observational Environmental Satellite (GOES) events for the region has a peak 1–8Å flux of 2.2× 10Wm (GOES C2.2). The background-subtracted GOES peak-flux distribution suggests departure from...
متن کاملFlare productivity of newly-emerged paired and isolated solar active regions
Aims. We investigate whether sunspot regions that emerge near existing ones are more flare productive than those that emerge isolated. Methods. We analyse a sample of 2115 new regions obtained from the USAF/Mount Wilson catalogue of sunspot regions. For our analysis we use AstroGrid, a Virtual Observatory developed in the UK, to build a series of workflows that perform queries to catalogues of ...
متن کاملThe Origin of the Solar Flare Waiting-Time Distribution.
It was recently pointed out that the distribution of times between solar flares (the flare waiting-time distribution) follows a power law for long waiting times. Based on 25 years of soft X-ray flares observed by Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite instruments, it is shown that (1) the waiting-time distribution of flares is consistent with a time-dependent Poisson process and (2) ...
