Detection of flares in TSI using superposed-epoch analysis
Date: 12 Oct 2010 A study by M. Kretzschmar and collaborators into how much energy is contributed by flares to the total solar irradiance revealed that there was a significant peak in the TSI when a flare occurred. Not only was the total radiative output of the Sun sensitive to both large and small flares, but the total energy radiated by flares was found to be over 100 times greater than the energy that they radiate in X-rays. It turns out that X-rays contribute only a tiny part of the overall output of radiation during solar flares.
