A Flare Classification Routine for the HASTA Solar Telescope
Abstract
In this work we describe the design and results of an automatic routine that classifies flares observed with the H-Alpha Solar Telescope of Argentina (HASTA), an instrument that observes the solar disk at the center and wings of the H-Alpha line (656.3nm). The classification is made automatically, which means that practically it does not require intervention of the operator, except for the input of the images corresponding to the flare and a later selection of the pixels that constitute the event. The system takes into account the main features of the flares (area, brightness, latitude, starting time, ending time and duration), keeping a complete record of every event observed by the telescope.
