It is known that the flare component of solar X-ray emission is sensitive to the level of solar activity. The location of the X-ray flaring region is not directly known but can be inferred from the location of the associated Hα flare. A detailed study of more than 4000 solar X-ray flares recorded by UI and the NRL detectors during past eight years has shown that 85% of these flares definitely occurred in the active regions. For the rest 15% no definite conclusion was possible because either Hα flare data was not available or no Hα flare was reported within ± 15 min of these X-ray flares.
