MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 11639 has steadily decayed since the last message. The new target region shall be an EFR in the northeast quadrant, designated NOAA 11640. NOAA 11640 is currently classified as a beta/D-type active region and may produce some low level activity if it continues to develop. The position of NOAA 11640 on 31-Dec-2012 at 10:00 UT is: N28E14, ( -209", 502" ) 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 11635 was the source of a C1.5 flare at 19:27 UT yesterday but is now rotating behind the western limb. The new target region shall be NOAA 11639, a small beta region in the southeast quadrant. No significant activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11639 on 30-Dec-2012 at 10:00 UT is: S16E40, ( -604", -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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar X-ray flux has remained steady around the B2 level. NOAA 11635 has remained quiescent and is now on the western limb. It shall continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours although no significant increase in activity is expected. The position of NOAA 11635 on 29-Dec-2012 at 14:00 UT is: N12W65, ( 866", 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 activity has returned to very low levels despite the appearance of two new regions on the eastern limb (NOAA 11638 and NOAA 11639). NOAA 11635 continues to decay and has now been downgraded to a beta region but shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours. No significant activity expected at this time. The position of NOAA 11635 on 28-Dec-2012 at 10:00 UT is: N13W51, ( 740", 247" ) 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 11635 has decayed considerably since the last message but retains its beta-gamma configuration. The region has only produced a few C1 flares over the past 24 hours. Similar, low-level activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11635 on 27-Dec-2012 at 06:00 UT is: N12W36, ( 562", 236" ) 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 11635 has been re-classified as a beta-gamma region and continues to develop in size. The region has produced three mid C-level flares since the last message. Further low level activity is expected with chance of an intermediate level event if flux emergence continues. The position of NOAA 11635 on 26-Dec-2012 at 06:00 UT is: N11W21, ( 344", 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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11635 continues to produce high B- and low C-level activity as it crosses the central meridian. The region has been downgraded to a beta classification but continues to show signs of flux emergence. Further low level activity expected. The position of NOAA 11635 on 25-Dec-2012 at 06:00 UT is: N11W09, ( 150", 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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has dropped below the C1 level since the last message. The target region NOAA 11635 maintains its beta-gamma configuration while flux emergence continues in its trailing portion. Further low-level activity possible. The position of NOAA 11635 on24-Dec-2012 at 10:00 UT is: N12E03, ( -50", 238" ) 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, Low level activity continues to emanate from both NOAA 11633 and 11635. NOAA 11635 has developed positive polarity sunspots in its trailing edge, adding to its complexity, and shall remain the target region. Further B- and C-level activity expected. The position of NOAA 11635 on 23-Dec-2012 at 14:00 UT is: N10E14, ( -233", 202" ) 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 11635 has produced a flurry of B- and C-level flares since the last message. The region is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type region and is likely to produce further low-level events. The position of NOAA 11635 on 22-Dec-2012 at 14:00 UT is: N09E27, ( -438", 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.
