MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
A strong EFR located between NOAA 1160 and 1161 was the source of
an M6.6 event at 02/18/10:11 UT. This region has a beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration and continues in strong growth phase.
NOAA 1158 continues to slowly decay. It produced numerous
C-class events yesterday. We'll continue a Major Flare Watch
but switch from 1158 to the new EFR in the NE. Another M5
or stronger event is possible from the new region. Another
M-class event is also possible from 1158.
The position of the target EFR on February 18 at 8:30 UT is:
N18E04 (Solar X = -064", Solar Y = 411")
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and
