A solar flare is a short-lived sudden increase in the intensity of radiation emitted in the neighborhood of sunspots. For many years it was best monitored in the...
We recently repeated an earlier analysis by Garcia showing that large (>=M3.0) solar X-ray flares associated with solar energetic particle (SEP) events have significantly...
