Abstract | {Statistics of solar flares, microflares, and nanoflares have been gathered over an energy range of some 8 orders of magnitude, over E\~ 10$^{24}$-10$^{32}$ ergs. Frequency distributions of flare energies are always determined in a limited temperature range, e.g., at T\~ 1-2 MK if the 171 and 195 Å filters are used from an extreme ultraviolet telescope (the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/EUV Imaging Telescope or the Transitional Region and Coronal Explorer). Because the electron temperature T$_{e}$ and the thermal energ |
