For our study, we used the monochromatic MgXII Imaging Spectroheliometer (MISH), Full-disk EUV Telescope (FET) and Solar PHotometer in X-rays (SphinX) instruments onboard the Complex Orbital Observations Near-Earth of Activity of the Sun-Photon (CORONAS-Photon) spacecraft because of their high sensitivity in soft X-rays. The peak flare flux (PFF) for solar microflares was found to depend on the strength of the magnetic field and total unsigned magnetic flux as a power-law function. In the spectral range 2.8-36.6 \\AA\\ which shows very little increase related to microflares the power-law index of the relation between the X-ray flux and magnetic flux for active regions is 1.48 $\\pm$ 0.86, which is close to the value obtained previously by Pevtsov et al. (Astrophys. J. 598, 1387, 2003) for different types of solar and stellar objects. In the spectral range 1-8 \\AA\\ the power-law indices for PFF($B$) and PFF($\\Phi$) for microflares are 3.87 $\\pm$ 2.16 and 3 $\\pm$ 1.6 respectively. We also make suggestions on the heating mechanisms in active regions and microflares under the assumption of loops with constant pressure and heating using the Rosner-Tucker-Vaiana (RTV) scaling laws.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-28T08:20:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "85-05" ], "keywords": [ "solar microflares", "magnetic field", "active regions", "x-ray emission", "spectral range" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
