MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11389 continues to increase in size and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. The region has only produced a couple of low C-class flares since the last message and has been quiescent since 00:00 UT. Still a chance for some intermediate level activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11389 on 31-Dec-2011 at 10:00 UT is: S23E38, ( -554", -346" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The target region NOAA 11389 has produced three low M-class flares in the past 24 hours, as well as several C-level events. Both leader spots contain mixed polarities and the region continues to show signs of flux emergence. Further C-level activity expected with a good chance for additional M-class events. The position of NOAA 11389 on 30-Dec-2011 at 11:00 UT is: S23E51, ( -703", -355" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at intermediate levels. The new active region on the southeast limb, now designated NOAA 11389, has produced several C-class flares since the last message. The region appears to comprise two large sunspots with a steep magnetic gradient along the polarity inversion line. Further C-level activity expected with chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 11389 on 29-Dec-2011 at 09:00 UT is: S20E64, ( -828", -316" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at the C-level. NOAA 11387 retains its beta-gamma configuration and has produced a couple of low level events since the last message. However, a new region appearing on the southeast limb has produced several C-class flares in the past 24 hours including a C6.7 at 21:46 UT yesterday. This shall be the new target region with further intermediate level activity expected. The approximate position of the target region on 28-Dec-2011 at 11:30 UT is: S23E82, ( -889", -375" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11387 continues to develop and is now classified as a beta-gamma region due to some negative polarity flux encroaching on the positive leader spot. The region was the source of several C-level events since the last message, as well as an M2 flare at 20:12 UT yesterday. NOAA 11386 is also now a beta-gamma region and has produced some C-level events. However NOAA 11387 shall remain the target region with further C-level activity expected and a chance of another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 11387 on 27-Dec-2011 at 08:00 UT is: S22W47, ( 663", -340" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has increased significantly over the last 24 hours due to a newly emerged region in the southwest quadrant, designated NOAA 11387, which shall be the new target region. It has produced several C-level events as well as two M-class flares. The region comprises a circular sunspot group with a complex magnetic configuration. Good chance for further intermediate level activity. The position of NOAA 11387 on 26-Dec-2011 at 08:00 UT is: S22W33, ( 494", -336" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains low. The two most recent C5 flares came from NOAA 11376 (at 11:25 UT yesterday, and is now over the limb) and the spotless region NOAA 11380 (at 08:49 UT today). The target region NOAA 11386 has remained relatively quiet over the past 24 hours. The region comprises two positive polarity sunspots with surrounding negative plage and has the potential to produce further C-level events. The position of NOAA 11386 on 25-Dec-2011 at 10:00 UT is: S18E58, ( -788", -283" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 11384 has shown further signs of development over the past 24 hours but has remained quiescent. The recent C5.2 flare at 08:27 UT today came from NOAA 11386 which has just rotated onto the southeast limb, and shall be the new target region. Further low-level events possible. The position of NOAA 11386 on 24-Dec-2011 at 11:00 UT is: S18E69, ( -865", -290" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at low levels. NOAA 11382/1 has been relatively quiet since the last message and has begun to show signs of decay. Meanwhile, NOAA 11384 in the northeast quadrant continues to grow and has produced three C-class flares in the past 24 hours. NOAA 11384 shall be the new target region with a chance of further low C-level events. The position of NOAA 11384 on 23-Dec-2011 at 12:00 UT is: N12E30, ( -477", 231" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11384 in the northeast quadrant has increased in size but has remained relatively quiet. The target region NOAA 11382/1 was the source of a C5.4 flare at 01:56 UT today, and also continues to develop. Chance for additional isolated C-level events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11382 on 22-Dec-2011 at 11:00 UT is: S14W17, ( 272", -208" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
