Yes / The launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in early 2010 has provided the solar
physics community with the most detailed view of the Sun to date. However, this presents new
challenges for the analysis of solar data. Currently,
SDO sends over 1 terabyte of data per day back to Earth and methods for fast and reliable analysis are
more important than ever. This article details four algorithms developed separately at the Universities
of Bradford and Glasgow, the
Royal Observatory of Belgium and Trinity College Dublin for the purposes of automated detection of
solar active regions (ARs) and sunspots at different levels of the solar atmosphere.
