MM#009 Default Target

Dear Collaborators,

Solar flare activity continues at a low level. The largest event
in the past 24 hours was a C3.2 at 02/01/11:33 UT produced
by decaying region NOAA 2268 (S10W54). Target region
NOAA 2277 is displaying minor flux emergence within the
leading portion of its F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group.
C-class events probable with an isolated M-class event in
the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 2277 on February 01 at 16:35 UT is:
N08E23 (Solar X = -378", Solar Y = 229")

• MM#009 Default Target

  The MM_OP for the next 24 hours, just cut and paste to the message subject.

• Dear Collaborators, 

  The standard salutation.

•  Solar flare activity continues at a low level. 
  

  A one-line summary of the present level of solar activity, based on based on GOES lightcurves for the last 24 hours, and the following descriptions of the level (where isolated means occurring perhaps once in 24 hours):
  

  	No activity	Background x-ray flux flat at the middle B-class without any sunspots, ARs, or filaments/prominences on the visible solar disk
  	Extremely low	Background x-ray flux flat at the middle B-class without any isolated C-class events
  	Very low	Background flux at the B-class level with a few minor C-class events
  	Low	Numerous minor to moderate C-class events
  	Moderate	X-ray events in the range of M1 to M4
  	High	M5 to X2 events
  	Very high	X3 to X15 events
  	Extremely high	X16 and above

  
  

• The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C3.2 at
      02/01/11:33 UT
  produced by decaying region NOAA 2268
      (S10W54).
  

  A brief summary of the the most significant activity of the last 24
  hours (flares, CMEs, radio events, proton flares, filament eruptions, etc.)
  

• Target region NOAA 2277 is displaying minor flux emergence
  within the leading portion of its F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group.
  

  Identify the target (NOAA AR or location, if not numbered by NOAA) for the next 24 hours, and the reasons you chose this region. Some examples include:

  	Target region recent history
  	Mount Wilson sunspot classification & why
  	Zurich Sunspot Classification & why
  	H-alpha plage intensity & where relative to inversion line
  	Sunspot area & implications
  	Unusual main magnetic inversion line (E-W or greatly twisted)
  	Rapid growth rate
  	EFR inclusions (new STRONG emerging flux within an existing active region)
  	Bright X-ray Sigmoid or Active H-alpha filament
  	No target activity present

  
  

• C-class events probable with an isolated M-class event in
  the next 24 hour period.
  

  Your forecast of the probable level of activity in the target for the next 24 hours.

• The position of NOAA 2277 on February 01 at 16:35 UT is:
  N08E23 (Solar X = -378", Solar Y = 229")

  Standard closing, identifying the MM_CO for the next 24 hours.
