Homologous solar activity refers to repeated solar activity originating from the same active region (AR). Studying the homology of both solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) provides critical insights into the evolution, morphology, and underlying magnetic structures of an AR over its lifespan. In this work, we combine the Hinode flare list and CDAW LASCO CME catalogs to comprehensively study eruptive activity from 2006 to 2025. This dataset covers the entirety of Solar Cycle 24, with partial coverage of Solar Cycle 23 and 25. We introduce an activity-clustered dataset categorized by eruptive frequency and spatial separation between events. We present a statistical analysis of these clusters, detailing the distribution, correlation, and waiting-time characteristics of homologous flares and CMEs across different phases of the solar cycle.
