cgrant26 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Just had an eruptive M1.6 that seems to also have triggered a filament snap. Too early to see it on LASCO yet but looked like a bunch of material got flung out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tniickck Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Are you sure you are not mistaken? There was a flare from 3386, it already has it's topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgrant26 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Could be, but what I was seeing on SDO looked like it fired off from 3387. Maybe they both popped off flares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tniickck Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 and 3387 becomes another region that starts developing and flaring near the limb yoooooo M6.7 so far im sorry its from 3386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tniickck Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 i dont really get where is it from, 3386 beyond the limb or 3387 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1SCORDANT Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) If I zoom in on sdo it looks like 2 flares can someone check? Edited August 7, 2023 by D1SCORDANT Further clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one flare is the M-flare from this region (3387), which never fully died down, and the other (the X-flare just now) is from 3386 beyond the limb, not sure if it's causing any sympathetic flaring here or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ester89 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Certainly both regions seem to be on fire. Can it happen that 2 regions raise the flow together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some sympathetic flaring from 3386 behind the limb. Edit: After SDO updated, it looks to be mostly from 3386. Edited August 7, 2023 by Calder Correction after seeing updated imagery.

Planeus Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 To me it looks like 3387 isn't responsible for the bulk of the flaring, 3386 looks to be the main culprit (from behind the limb too meaning it was most likely much more than an X1.5) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tniickck Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 as we see it was 3386 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the X-ray flux measures total flux, so if e.g. there are two M1-flares simultaneously, then it would register as closer to M2. However, when there's an X-flare going on it will typically dominate the M-flare in terms of flux; as we've talked about before you can think of the X1.5 just now as an M15, so theoretically if the 3387 M-flare was still roughly M1, then this flare would essentially be around X1.4, with the two adding up to X1.5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re certainly right about this. After seeing SDO update, it’s clear it was mostly 3386. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
