Soft X-ray microflares

TL;DR

This paper investigates soft X-ray microflares on the Sun, detecting weak bursts up to 10-8 W/m2, confirming them with GOES data, and discussing their physical mechanisms.

Contribution

It provides new measurements and analysis of low-intensity solar microflares, enhancing understanding of their properties and origins.

Findings

Detection of weak soft X-ray bursts up to 10-8 W/m2

Confirmation of microflares with GOES observations

Discussion of physical mechanisms for low-intensity events

Abstract

Soft X-ray solar bursts are studied. Weak bursts with powers up to 10-8 W/m2 were detected. All the events were confirmed by GOES observations. Parameters of these microflares are determined. A physical mechanism for the low-intensity solar events is discussed.
