Presentation Title: XRT Mission-Long Flare Statistics
Author(s): Kathy Reeves and Joy Velasquez

Abstract:

n this presentation, we will explore the mission-long flare observations by Hinode XRT. We use the data in the XRT flare catalog (https://xrt.cfa.harvard.edu/flare_catalog/) and provide statistics for how many C, M, and X flares were captured by XRT. We will also explore which locations on the Sun are most likely to produce flares imaged by XRT, and document the reasons for missing flares. These results will be useful for planning XRT observations as we move into the maximum of solar cycle 25.
