On the Frequency Distributions of Solar Soft X-ray Flares
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2012
Abstract
By giving three different definitions of peak flux(original peak flux, corrected peak flux, and scaled peak flux), we analyze the frequency distributions of 14057 flares recorded by GOES from 2000 to 2005. We find a significant result that the frequency distribution of the scaled peak flux for all the sample flares can be approximated by a perfect power-law function with an index of 2.18, without any usually deviating from the power-law at the lower fluxes.
