About

Public solar-event archives are scattered across institutions and spectral bands, requiring local processing environments to inspect events across instruments. Solar OpenMonitor integrates long-term observations in soft X-ray (GOES XRS, 1995 to present, GOES-8 to GOES-19), hard X-ray (RHESSI), microwave (RSTN, 245 MHz to 15.4 GHz) and millimeter-wave (POEMAS, 45 and 90 GHz), together with a searchable catalog of more than 90,000 flare events from 1975 to present, into a single interactive web interface.

A unified event framework cross-links flare entries to their SXR, HXR and MW time windows, and to CME records from the CDAW catalog, enabling rapid cross-identification across instruments and energy regimes. The platform is client-side, mobile-first, and zero-install: raw datasets remain with their institutional sources such as NOAA SWPC, HESPERIA, NGDC RSTN, MackSUN for POEMAS, and CDAW for CMEs.

Solar OpenMonitor complements SolarMonitor, HEK, CDAW and CDAWeb, targeting teaching, rapid event inspection, and reproducible figure generation in solar and space-weather research.

These are independent solar viewers that live on the author's personal site. They are not Solar OpenMonitor components and will not be migrated here, but they give a sense of the interactive style this page will bring together with HXR, microwave, mm-wave and CME records into a single integrated viewer.
