STIX flare processing pipeline

Solar flare processing pipeline

Select L1 bulk science data from the database. For each selected flare

• Check if peak counts above a given value (e.g. 600) using the flare list database. Skip faint flares
• Use GOES LC to determine the GOES class, write the GOES LC to a png file, store the GOES class in the flare list database
• Select background from database and do background selection
• Determine flare location, store location information in the database
• Background subtraction for spectrograms & energy spectra
• Spectral analysis with sunspex, store results (to be done in the future …)
• Calculate ephemeris & viewing angles using spice kernel
• Reconstruct flare images (to be done in the future)
• Prepare simultaneous observation plots
  • Create EUI image, AIA images for the flare
  • EPD plots
  • Radio
  • ...

Results can be displayed on web pages Group flares by GOES classes, dates Results can be also retrieved using sdcpy
