Using deep learning to identify and classify sunspots in magnetograms

Some of the solar activities, such as solar flares, release large amounts of radiation and energy that impact on Earth's life and technological systems. These flares usually come from sunspots, which derive from solar magnetic activities. Currently, some solar data allow predicting when a solar...

Description
Summary:Some of the solar activities, such as solar flares, release large amounts of radiation and energy that impact on Earth's life and technological systems. These flares usually come from sunspots, which derive from solar magnetic activities. Currently, some solar data allow predicting when a solar flare will occur. This paper reports the use of the Deep Learning technique to identify and classify sunspots using solar magnetograms automatically. Our results show an accuracy greater than 80%.
