==============================
IAPS ≥M2 SXR Flare Catalogue
==============================

.. contents:: Table of contents

The catalogue will contain the > M2 Soft X- Ray (SXR) flares from 1995 to 2017. The columns in the table are defined as follows: (1) event number (2) date of the SXR flare (3) peak time of SXR flare (4) peak SXR classification (saturated events flagged with an S in which case (3) refers to the onset of saturation), (5) flare location, (6) time-integrated SXR intensity (nominally between the 1/3 power points on rise and fall), (7) time-integrated 1 MHz Wind/WAVES intensity from 10 minutes before the onset of integration for the SXR burst to 10 minutes after the SXR burst peak, (8) Waves frequency used.
