Scientific paper

Limb-occulted flares give instruments with limited spatial resolution or limited dynamic range an opportunity to study coronal processes without the competition of bright sources in the lower atmosphere, for example at the footpoints of coronal loops. We have created an automated search procedure for Yohkoh soft X-ray and hard X-ray data and have tested it for the 1999 data, finding a total of 59 candidate events that occurred quite near the limb. The procedure produces a Web page for each candidate event, including images and lightcurves plus a set of parameters intended to guide the distinction between front-side and back-side events. The initial application of the search will be to develop a comprehensive list of coronal hard X-ray events from the first 11 years of Yohkoh observations.
