Energy spectrum of x-ray flares associated with spot groups of different classеs in three solar cycles

Data from direct measurements of X-ray fluxes from flares (1-8 Е, GOES) for three solar cycles (1977-2007) were used to calculate integral energies of flares associated with active regions of spot groups of different class. For the flares in active regions of each class we constructed integral energy spectra and calculated their indices β. It was found that the β parameter value differed for active regions of different class. In each class, we revealed a positive correlation between this parameter and 11-year cycle (Wolf numbers). There is a relation between β and 22-year magnetic cycle. The findings can be used both for the flare theory and for the dynamo one
