4.1   First flare - C2.7


The GOES X-ray event peaked at 18:37 UT (18:15-18:50 UT). Clear signatures are seen in the CDS diagnostic raster, taken in between the fast rasters.

Figure 7: CDS monochromatic images of one diagnostic raster - 2001 Apr 10 18:03-19:27 UT - A new Fe XIX flare emission appeared in the NW corner, associated with a GOES C2.7 event (that peaked at 18:37 UT). The post-flare TR loop is saturated in O V but not in the O IV lines, that have been used to derive densities.

Figure 8: Sequence of CDS monochromatic images and velocity maps from the fast rasters - 2001 Apr 10 - Note the Fe XIX flare emission in the NW corner of the 19:40:04 UT image, associated with the GOES C2.7 event, still present but more diffuse. Also note the Fe XIX flare emission in the 21:19:37 UT image, associated with the GOES C2.4 event that occurred at 21:05 UT.
