Listed are for each flare the name of the satellite, the start, peak and end of the flare. Start is here when the flare angle goes below 2°, end when it exceeds that value again. The peak is when the angle is at its smallest (to the nearest second). Apart from the times are listed the azimuth (0° N, 90° E, 180° S, 270° W) and elevation (0° horizon, 90° zenith). For the peak the flare angle is also listed.
