Impulsive vs. Long-Duration Flare The X-ray flux from an X5 impulsive flare can be approximated as 5x10-4e-2 W/m², t (hours) > 0 The X-ray flux from an X1 long-duration flare can be approximated as 1x10-4 e-t/3 W/m², t (hours) > 0 Calculate the total X-ray flux in J/m² for each flare. If the total fluxes are similar, which flare is more likely to signal the beginning of a significant space weather event? Why?
