MM#017 ROSA Flare Observing Campaign (eis_co:)
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains at low levels. New data show that that the C2.6 flare yesterday was a result of sympathetic flaring between NOAA 11247 and NOAA 11249. The target region shall therefore revert back to NOAA 11247, now classified as a beta-gamma region with a strong magnetic gradient in its core. Chance for one or two isolated low level events. The position of NOAA 11247 on 12-Jul-2011 at 12:00 UT is: S18W35, ( 518", -344" ) 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 at low levels despite the appearance of several new active regions on the visible disk. A newly numbered region, NOAA 11249, close to disk center was the source of a C2.6 flare at 10:47 UT today and shall be the new target region. Additional isolated low-level events possible. The position of NOAA 11249 on 11-Jul-2011 at 12:30 UT is: S16E04, ( -62", -323" ) 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 returned to low levels. The target region NOAA 11247 continues to undergo new flux emergence but remains quiescent. Slight chance of increased activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11247 on 10-Jul-2011 at 12:00 UT is: S18W09, ( 142", -352" ) 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, A newly emerged region along the southern central meridian, NOAA 11247, was the source of four C-class flares yesterday and shall be the new target region for today. The region has a bipolar configuration and has emerged into the remains of NOAA 11234 from the previous rotation. Good chance for further B- and C-level activity. The position of NOAA 11247 on 9-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is: S18E05, ( -83", -350" ) 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.

08 Jul '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11244, now on the western limb, was the source of several B-class events since the last message, while the C3.0 flare at 09:39 UT today emanated from the decaying active region in the southern hemisphere (the return of NOAA 11234). The newly emerged region in the northeast quadrant, now designated NOAA 11245, shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours. Further low-level events possible. The position of NOAA 11245 on 8-Jul-2011 at 12:30 UT is: N15E51, ( -709", 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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Apologies for the additional email. A newly emerging active region in the northeast quadrant was the source of a B6.3 flare at 11:05 UT today. This will now be ROSA's target region for today. The region is too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration but it appears to be developing rapidly. Good chance for increased activity over the next 24 hours if the region continues to develop. The position of the target region on 7-Jul-2011 at 11:00 UT is: N15E67, (-840", 222" ) 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 X-ray flux remains steady at the B1 level. NOAA 11244 is now too close to the solar limb for ROSA to observe. The target region shall therefore revert to NOAA 11243. This region has been quiescent for the past few days but has undergone some flux emergence over the past 24 hours and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. Chance for an isolated low-level event before it also reaches the western limb. The position of NOAA 11243 on 7-Jul-2011 at 04:30 UT is: N15W52, ( 717", 210" ) 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, Today we are switching to Max Millennium Observing Plan #017 in support of coordinated flare observations between ROSA (Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere), and other space- and ground-based instruments. Solar activity continues at very low levels. NOAA 11244 has been the source of a few low B-class events since the last message and shall continue to be the target region. The region appears to be decaying as it approaches the western limb but may produce further low-level events before west limb passage. Please include the filament to the north of the region in your field of view as well if possible. The position of NOAA 11244 on 6-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N15W73, ( 871", 228" ) 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.

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at very low levels. The target region NOAA 11244 retains its beta-gamma configuration and has shown some signs of growth, although it has only managed to produce a few low B-class events. Chance of some increased activity before the region reaches the western limb. If possible, please include the large filament to the north in your field of view. The position of NOAA 11244 on 5-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is: N16W59, ( 777", 233" ) 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.

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The new target region NOAA 11244 was the source of several B-class flares, as well as a C2.1 flare, since the last message. The region is now classified as a beta-gamma region and has a large filament structure to the north. Further B- and C-level activity possible. The position of NOAA 11244 on 4-Jul-2011 at 09:00 UT is: N16W43, ( 620", 223" ) 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.
