Abstract:
In this paper, we present the multi-wavelength study of a high level of solar activity during which a single active region produced multiple flares/CMEs. According to the sunspot observations, the current solar cycle 24 manifest to be less intense in comparison with the previous recent sunspot cycles. In the course of the current sunspot cycle 24, several small and large sunspot groups have produced various moderate and intense flare/CME events. There are a few active regions with a large number of flaring activities passed across the visible disk of the Sun during 2012-2015. In this study, we consider the three periods 22-29 Oct 2013, 01-08 Nov 2013, and 25 Oct-08-Nov 2014, during which 228 flares have been observed. Considering only active regions near the central part of the disk, 59 CMEs (halo or partial) have been reported among which only 39 events are associated with flares. We conclude that an active region with a larger area, more complex morphology and stronger magnetic field has a comparatively higher possibility of producing extremely fast CMEs (speed > 1500 km/sec). So that among the 5 X class flares of the reported periods, 3 of them (60%) are associated with a CME. The lift-off time for CME-flare associated events has a +15 to +30 minute time interval range after the occurrence time of associated flares suggesting that the flares produce the CMEs. Additionally, we compiled the geomagnetic storms occurring within 1-5 days after the CME onset. 10% of the 59 CMEs are related to a magnetic storm but all are moderate storms.
