Observations of an unusual pair of homologous flares on March 17, 1970
Abstract
Correlated optical, radio and X-ray observations are presented for a pair of `consequently' homologous flares which occurred on March 17, 1970. A rich complexity of behavior in a bright sub-flare with maximum at 14∶44 UT is repeated in a flare of importance 1B with maximum at 22:49 UT. The unusual and interesting aspect of these flares is that the second flare developed at approximately half the rate of the first. A difference in the trigger mechanism of the two flares is suggested as a possible explanation.
