The event number corresponding to the broader Hinode Flare Catalog
The time of peak GOES X-ray flux, in Universal Time (UT)
The coordinate positions of the flare with respect to Sun-center, measured in arcseconds.
The coordinate positions of the flare with respect to Sun-center, measured in arcseconds.
The GOES X-ray classification (e.g., C5, M1, X1) representing flare intensity
Total number of XRT observations, excluding calibration, visible light, and flare detection images.
Images captured using XRT’s special flare response program, which automatically triggers when detecting a flare.
Indicates if high-cadence data from the pre-flare buffer was downloaded (Yes, No, or NA)
The number of concurrent observations taken by other onboard or partner instruments.
The number of concurrent observations taken by other onboard or partner instruments.
The number of concurrent observations taken by other onboard or partner instruments.
The designated number for the solar active region where the flare occurred.
