Tutorial:How to contribute to the flare wiki pages

Flare wiki pages are created by the flare data processing pipeline, by using |WIKI APIs.

The created pages can be edited manually or by using scripts.

1 Plugins

If you have python code to be integrated into the pipeline, please prepare them similar to the template below and send them to Hualin Xiao

#import  module_name
def plugin_name(flare_id, start_utc, end_utc, flare_peak_utc):
    #Flare ID, start UTC, end UTC and peak UTC values will be provided by the pipeline 
    # A plugin usually consist of blocks as below:
    # - data retrieving, for example using sunpy Fido 
    # - data processing
    # - plotting
    # - save plot to file
    return plot_filename

Below is an example of plugins.

import astropy.units as u
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from sunpy.net import Fido, attrs as a
from sunpy.map import Map

def plot(folder,flare_id , start_utc, end_utc, peak_utc,  wavelen=131, overwrite=False):
    sdo_query = Fido.search(a.Time(utc_start, utc_end), a.Instrument('AIA'),
                            a.Wavelength(wavelen* u.angstrom))
    sdo_res = Fido.fetch(sdo_query[0], progress=False, path=folder)
    if not sdo_res:
        print('AIA data not available')
        return None
    if sdo_res:
        sdo = Map(sdo_res[0])
        fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6, 6), dpi=100)
        ax = fig.add_subplot(projection=sdo)
        sdo.plot(clip_interval=[1, 100] * u.percent, axes=ax)
        fname=os.path.join(folder, f'AIA_{wavelen}_{flare_id}.png')
        plt.savefig(fname, dpi=100)
        return fname
    return None

if __name__=='__main__':
    #for test only
    plot('.',0,'2021-04-01T00:00:00', '2021-04-01T00:10:00', '2021-04-01T00:05:00' )

2 Using Wiki APIs

Note that it is also possible to attach plots to flare wiki pages
