MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region NOAA 2036 was the source of a major
two-ribbon proton flare with an associated CME.  The
x-ray event peaked at M7.3 at 04/18/13:03 UT.  2036
has decayed following the event but is still maintaining
its beta-gamma magnetic configuration.  At this time we are
implementing Max Millennium coordinated observing plan
#003 (Region Likely To Produce A Major Flare).
There is a chance that 2036 might produce another
event =/>M5 in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 2036 on April 18 at 11:30 UT is:
S15W35 (Solar X = 531", Solar Y = -176")

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

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
