MAG4 versus alternative techniques for forecasting active region flare productivity
MAG4 is a technique of forecasting an active region's rate of production of major flares in the coming few days from a free magnetic energy proxy. We present a statistical method of measuring the difference in performance between MAG4 and comparable alternative techniques that forecast an active region's major-flare productivity from alternative observed aspects of the active region. We demonst...
متن کاملPeriodicities in Solar Flare Occurrence: Analysis of Cycles 19–23
Mid-range periodicities in solar flare occurrence have been analyzed with new methods for cycles 19–23. During cycle 23, periodicities of 129-d and 33.5-d were in operation. Five episodes of high activity occurred periodically with the 129-d period. The 33.5-d periodicity mainly operated for energetic flares. Results for cycles 19–21 are generally in agreement with previous analyses. For cycle ...
متن کاملNonlocal communication in self-organising models of solar flare occurrence
Recent avalanche models of solar flare occurrence which consider the magnetised solar atmosphere to be in a state of self-organised criticality have concentrated mainly on the magnetic field as the means by which individual energy release sites communicate with neighbouring sites. This, however, neglects the possibility of remote triggering of energy release via fast particles. In this paper we...
متن کاملThe Energetics of a Flaring Solar Active Region, and Observed Flare Statistics
A stochastic model for the energy of a flaring solar active region is presented, generalising and extending the approach of Wheatland & Glukhov (1998). The probability distribution for the free energy of an active region is described by the solution to a master equation involving deterministic energy input and random jump transitions downwards in energy (solar flares). It is shown how two obser...
متن کاملSunspot Rotation and the M-class Flare in Solar Active Region NOAA 11158
In this paper, we measure the rotation of a sunspot in solar active region NOAA 11158 (Solar Target Identifier SOL2011-02-15) that was associated with an M-class flare. The flare occurred when the rotation rate of the sunspot reached its maximum. We further calculate the energy in the corona produced by the sunspot rotation. The energy accumulated in the corona before the flare reached 5.5× 10 ...
