The Fermi GBM Solar Flare Catalog is a list generated by an autonomous flare finder that identifies all solar flares ≥ GOES C-Class detected by Fermi's Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) above 10 keV.
The catalog is designed to facilitate high-energy solar physics research by logging specific physical and temporal metrics for each event.

Flare number constructed from start time of flare: yymmdd_hhmm where yy=year, mm=month, dd=day of month, hh=hour, and mm=minute, all two digits.
Time when the synthetic rate exceeds the level corresponding to a C2 flare
Time of maximum rate in the 12-25 keV band
Time when the synthetic rate became less than the level corresponding to a C2 flare
Duration of flare in seconds
Maximum rate in the 12-25 keV band in counts/sec
Total counts in the 12-25 keV band
Four most sunward NaI detectors at the peak time (in 12-25 keV band) of the flare
Fermi Trigger Designation if flare caused a trigger. If there is more than one trigger during flare, this is the one nearest to the peak time.
The RHESSI flare designation if this flare was observed by RHESSI
