The frequency of lower energy solar flares can be extrapolated by studying of higher energy. These smaller flares are of interest as they are to have a major role in answering the coronal heating problem - one the major open problems in astrophysics of explaining why the solar the outermost layer of the Sun, has a temperature on the order of of degrees. The NuSTAR telescope, while an astrophysics is the most sensitive X-ray telescope to ever look at the Sun. This
presentation showcases an automated flare finding algorithm developed for use with NuSTAR and its application in constraining the frequency of some of the smallest flares ever observed through X-rays.
