MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1719 was the source of an isolated M6.5 event
at 04/11/07:16 UT.  At this time we are implementing
Max Millennium coordinated observing plan #003
(Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare).  1719 rapidly
developed a magnetic delta configuration located in the
southeastern portion of its reversed polarity D-type/beta-gamma
sunspot group.  We will switch to 1719 from NOAA 1718
today.  1718 is maintaining its D-type/beta-gamma sunspot
group and is currently the brightest region on the visible disk.
It is possible that 1719 will produce another major flare =/>M5
in the next few days.  1718 is also capable of producing an
isolated M-class event.

The position of NOAA 1719 on April 11 at 13:00 UT is:
N10E05 (Solar X = -082", Solar Y = 262")

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
