Abstract Recently, many superflares on solar-type stars have been discovered as white-light flares (WLFs). The statistical study found a correlation between their energies ( E ) and durations τ ): <?CDATA $\tau \propto {E}^{0.39}$?> , similar to those of solar hard/soft X-ray flares, {E}^{0.2\mbox{--}0.33}$?> . This indicates universal mechanism energy release stellar i.e., magnetic reconnection. We here carried out research 50 WLFs observed with Solar Dynamics Observatory /HMI examined the...

The rapid increase in X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions owing to solar flares enhances ionization the ionosphere, increasing radio wave attenuation. Among these phenomena, shortwave communication disturbance caused by increased electron density ionospheric D region is known as fadeout (SWF). We investigated relationship between SWF's magnitude flare emission, evaluated variation associated with flare. defined minimum frequency (fmin) observed Japan’s ionograms SWF’s magnitude....

Abstract To understand the conditions that produce white-light (WL) enhancements in solar flares, a statistical analysis of visible continuum data as observed by Hinode /Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) was performed. In this study, approximately 100 flare events from M- and X-class flares were selected. The time period during which recorded spans 2011 January to 2016 February. Of these events, half are classified (WLFs), whereas remaining do not show any (non-WLF; NWL). determine existence WL...

Abstract X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions from solar flares rapidly change the physical composition of Earth’s thermosphere ionosphere, thereby causing space weather phenomena such as communication failures. Numerous empirical models have been developed to estimate effects flare on upper atmosphere. We verified reproduction emission spectra using a one-dimensional hydrodynamic calculation CHIANTI atomic database. To validate proposed model, we used observed EUV obtained by...

Abstract Solar flares trigger an increase in plasma density the ionosphere including D region, and cause absorption of radio waves, especially high-frequency (HF) ranges, called short-wave fadeout (SWF). To evaluate SWF duration statistically, we analyze long-term (36 years) ionosonde data observed by National Institute Information Communications Technology (NICT). The minimum reflection frequency, f min, is used to detect SWFs from 15-min-resolution observations at Kokubunji, Tokyo, 1981...

White-light emissions were observed from an X1.7 class solar flare on 27 January 2012, using three continuum bands (red, green, and blue) of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard Hinode satellite. This event occurred near limb, so differences in locations various are consistent with heights above photosphere emission sources. Under this interpretation, our observations white-light occurring at lowest levels where Ca II H occurs. Moreover, centers source regions red, blue wavelengths...

Using scaling law provided by 422), we obtain B L as functions emission measure (EM = n2L3) temperature (T) at flare peak. Here, n is electron density flares.
