(a) Comparison of the magnetic dimming area (A_ϕ) against the flare ribbon area (A_rbn). (b) Total unsigned magnetic dimming flux (ϕ) compared to the reconnection magnetic flux (ϕ_rbn). Blue markers represent dimmings from the May 2024 events (crosses mark X-class flares and dots M-class flares), while grey crosses correspond to dimming events from Dissauer et al. (2018a). The black (blue) regression lines were exclusively fitted to the grey (blue) data points.
