| contents | Solar flares are regularly observed in extreme ultraviolet (EUV), soft X-rays (SXR), and hard X-rays (HXR). However, those in near and mid-UV are sparse. The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) onboard the Aditya-L1, launched on 2nd September, 2023 provides regular observations in the 200-400 nm wavelength range through eleven filters. Here, we report the observation of the X6.3 flare on Feb 22, 2024 using eight narrow band (NB) filters of SUIT. We have also used co-spatiotemporal observations from SDO/AIA, Solar Orbiter/STIX, GONG H$α$, Aditya-L1/SoLEXS and GOES. We obtained light curves over the flaring region from AIA 1600, 1700 Å and GONG H$α$ and compared them with the disk-integrated lightcurve obtained from GOES and SoLEXS SXR and STIX HXR. We find that the flare peaks in SUIT NB01, NB03, NB04, and NB08 filters simultaneously with HXR, 1600, and 1700 Å along with the peak temperature obtained from SoLEXS. In contrast, in NB02 and NB05, the flare peaks $\sim$ 2 minutes later than the HXR peak, while in NB06 and NB07, the flare peaks $\sim$ 3 minutes after the GOES soft X-ray peak. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observation of a flare in these wavelengths (except in NB03, NB04 and NB05). Moreover, for the first time, we show the presence of a bright kernel in NB02. These results demonstrate the capabilities of SUIT observations in flare studies. |
