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

31 Mar '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains low. The target region NOAA 11183 was the source of two C1 flares since the last message. The region retains its beta configuration but has increased in size over the past 24 hours. Chance for further isolated C-level events. The position of NOAA 11183 on 31-Mar-2011 at 04:30 UT is: N15E24, ( -378", 345" ) 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 11183 has remained quiescent over the past 24 hours, producing only a C1.2 flare at 21:21 UT on 29-Mar-2011. The region has been down graded from a beta-gamma region to a beta region but may still produce isolated low-level events. The position of NOAA 11183 on 30-Mar-2011 at 04:30 UT is: N15E36, ( -547", 335" ) 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 with NOAA 11176 continuing to decay. At this time we shall switch the target region to NOAA 11183 in the northeast quadrant. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma region and has significantly increased in size over the past 24 hours, producing a C1.1 flare at 05:11 UT in the process. Further C-level activity expected if the region continues to develop. The position of NOAA 11183 on 29-Mar-2011 at 10:30 UT is: N15E48, ( -691", 320" ) 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 with NOAA 11176 continuing to decay. The region comprises two positive polarity spots with trailing negative polarity plage. Chance for an isolated low-level event as the region crosses the central meridian. The position of NOAA 11176 on 28-Mar-2011 at 04:30 UT is: S15W01, (16", -138" ) 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 diminished as NOAA 11176 continues to decay. The region was the source of a C3.1 flare since the last message. Chance of an additional isolated C-class event over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11176 on 27-Mar-2011 at 10:30 UT is: S16E10, ( -161", -156" ) 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 moderate levels. The target region NOAA 11176 retains its beta-gamma configuration and was the source of an isolated M1.0 event at 23:08 UT on 25-Mar-2011. Further C-level activity expected with chance for another isolated M-class flare. The position of NOAA 11176 on 26-Mar-2011 at 05:30 UT is: S16E27, ( -421", -165" ) 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 level of solar activity is now medium. NOAA 11176 has decreased in area but increased in number of spots while maintaining its beta-gamma magnetic classification. This region has continued to produce several C-class events and an M1.0 flare at 12:01 UT on 24-Mar-2011. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of another M-class event. The position of NOAA 11176 on 25-Mar-2011 at 11:30 UT is: S16E38, ( -567", -176" ) 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 a low level. NOAA region 11176 has increased in area and number of spots as it rotates further on-disk, being designated a beta-gamma magnetic classification. This region has slowed in terms of numbers of flares, producing only three B-class and a C1.1 flare since yesterday's M1.4 event at 02:03 UT. Further C-class activity is likely, with a small chance for an M-class event if the region undergoes a period of growth or fragmentation. The position of NOAA 11176 on 24-Mar-2011 at 10:30 UT is: S15E52, ( -737", -179" ) 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 level of solar activity is now medium. NOAA region 11176 has a beta magnetic classification and displays a highly elongated second umbra. However, it is too close to the limb to be able to accurately determine the degree of polarity mixing and hence its configuration. This region produced an M1.4 flare at 02:03 UT on 23-Mar-2011. C-class activity is probable, with a small chance of another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 11176 on 23-Mar-2011 at 10:30 UT is: S14E63, ( -835", -181" ) 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 a low level. NOAA region 11176 has rotated over the SE limb and is the disk passage return of previously numbered NOAA 11165. This region has been the source of several C-class events, the largest of which was a C4.2 flare on 21-Mar-2011 at 15:31 UT. Further C-class activity is probable. The position of NOAA 11176 on 22-Mar-2011 at 10:30 UT is: S13E75, ( -908", -186" ) 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.
