Solar flare processing pipeline


Select L1 bulk science data from the database. For each selected flare

  • Check if peak counts above a given value (e.g. 600) using the flare list database. Skip faint flares
  • Use GOES LC to determine the GOES class, write the GOES LC to a png file, store the GOES class in the flare list database
  • Select background from database and do background selection
  • Determine flare location, store location information in the database
  • Background subtraction for spectrograms & energy spectra
  • Spectral analysis with sunspex, store results (to be done in the future …)
  • Calculate ephemeris & viewing angles using spice kernel
  • Reconstruct flare images (to be done in the future)
  • Prepare simultaneous observation plots
    • Create EUI image, AIA images for the flare
    • EPD plots
    • Radio
    • ...


Results can be displayed on web pages Group flares by GOES classes, dates Results can be also retrieved using sdcpy
