Like there are names for various events such as sunset, sunrise, solar noon, solar midnight, astro, nautical and civil twilight, what exactly is name for time between sunset and solar noon. Afternoon it is but what exactly between these two points? Is golden hour the only subcategory for the afternoon?

          No, there is no such word better than "afternoon". I can't think of a situation that would require technical language for this period of time, the exact point halfway. When astronomers want to be technical about time they use UTC or UT1 or AT1 or any of the other "times". When they want to talk about more loosely defined periods they use "morning", "afternoon", "evening" just like everybody else.

            @JamesK I've no clue what the answer could be! I'm just pointing out that "but what exactly between these two points?" suggests that they're after a specific time, not a fancy word for "afternoon".
