A powerful solar flare measuring X3.3 erupted behind the SW limb of the Sun (AR 3575) at 13:14 UTC on February 9, 2024. The event started at 12:53 and ended at 13:32 UTC. This solar flare is the second most intense in Solar Cycle 25, following an X5.0 flare that occurred on January 31, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Type IV Radio Emission was detected at 13:07 UTC. Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the sun and are typically associated with strong coronal mass ejections and solar radiation storms.<\/p>\n

In addition, a 10cm Radio Burst (Tenflare) with a peak flux of 1 000 sfu and lasting 27 minutes was associated with the event. A 10cm radio burst indicates that the electromagnetic burst associated with a solar flare at the 10cm wavelength was double or greater than the initial 10cm radio background. This can be indicative of significant radio noise in association with a solar flare. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.<\/p>\n
