Impulsive flares in the tremendously active region AR8100

Science Nugget: Nov 07, 1997

The big event this week was the tremendous activity from region AR8100.  This energetic region raised the background level from the low-B to the mid-C level, and produced many large flares.

This very sharp impulsive flare was well observed by SXT; a movie of full Sun images around the time of the flares is viewable here

Analysis of SXT and HXT images, light curves, and temperature maps is now ongoing.
