Title slide from Team 11: ISRO’s web based automatic identification of solar bursts in X ray light curves, with the sun on the left and the earth on the right

The problem

ISRO’s problem statement at Inter IIT Tech Meet 10.0: take X ray light curves from a solar observatory and automatically mark the bursts.

What we built

A Flask service runs the detection over uploaded light curve data. A React front end plots the curve with Recharts and overlays the detected bursts, so a scientist can check each one. Everything runs in the browser against the API; no desktop tooling needed.

Outcome

Team 11 from IIT Guwahati placed 3rd.
