Sympathetic flaring
Abstract
An examination of the relationship between the flaring of 15 active region pairs and their physical separations is found to support the existence of sympathetic flare activity on the sun. In general, active region pairs separated by less than 35 heliographic degrees show a significant departure from random coincident flare activity. These regions represent one extreme of a spectrum which suggests that there is an inverse correlation between the pair separation and the degree of coincident flare activity.
