Compact C-class solar flares with U-shaped or fan-spine magnetic structures produce white-light emission at rates near 100%, while flux-emergence types do so at only 33% and no B-class compact flares showed it.

Persistent same-polarity flux emergences drove collisional shearing and cancellations at a PIL, accumulating free energy and forming MFRs that produced multiple large flares including X9.0, with a pre-flare drop in photospheric free-energy area as a possible precursor.

Magnetic Evolution of Highly-Sheared Region in Active Region 13842 Producing Large X9.0 Flare
Persistent same-polarity flux emergences drove collisional shearing and cancellations at a PIL, accumulating free energy and forming MFRs that produced multiple large flares including X9.0, with a pre-flare drop in photospheric free-energy area as a possible precursor.
