Abstract:The A statistical distribution function of X-class flares and their association with super-active regions (SARs) during two recent solar cycles 23-24 have been analyzed. The obtained results show that, during solar cycle 23, 57.60 % of the total number of Xclass flares coincides with a set of X1.0 - X1.9 flares, 15.20 % to X2.0 - X2.9, 12.80 % to X3.0 - X4.9, 9.60 % to X5.0 - X9.9, and 4.80 % to ≥ X10 flares. During solar cycle 24, 61.20 % of the total number of X-class flares coincides with a set of X1.0 - X1… Show more
