Despite a wealth of multi-wavelength, spatially resolved, time-domain solar
activity data, an accurate and complete temporo-spatial solar flare census is
unavailable, which impedes our understanding of the physics of flare
production. We present an Automatically Labeled EUV and X-ray Incident
SolarFlares (ALEXIS) pipeline, designed to decompose the X-Ray flux of the full
solar disk into a minimum set of discrete regions on the Solar surface. ALEXIS
returns an average RMSE between the XRS time series and the discrete EUV
signals of 0.066 $\pm$ 0.036 for a randomly selected test bed sample of 1000
hour-long data segments from May 2010 – March 2020. Flare emission that
requires multiple regions was found to be synchronous: flares occurring at the
same time, sympathetic: flares separated by minutes, or needed to capture the
background emission before and/or after the main flare. ALEXIS uses the
original full resolution and cadence of both the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly
Instrument and the GOES13-15 Solar X-Ray Imager. Comparison of the ALEXIS
catalog with those produced by SWPC and SolarSoft show that these canonical
databases need revisiting for 62$\%$ and 15$\%$ of the sub-sample,
respectively. Additionally, we increased the number of flares reported by SWPC
and SolarSoft by 15$\%$. Our pipeline misses 6.7$\%$ of the 1057 flare
sub-sample and returns 5$\%$ of false positives from 1211 flares reported by
ALEXIS. The ALEXIS catalog returns flare peak times, coordinates, the corrected
scaled XRay magnitude, and the associated NOAA active region with a HARP
identifier number independently from any external data products.
