MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA region 11515 rotated onto the solar disk 3 days ago. This region has been steadily increasing in complexity while gaining spot area and number of spots, with a recent merging of the penumbrae of the leading spots. 11515 has been reclassified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group since yesterday's email and has produced several C-class events. More C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an M-class event. The position of NOAA 11515 on 30-Jun-2012 at 08:30 UT is: S17E38, ( -562", -311" ) 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 region 11512 appears to have finished its emergence phase, and has retained a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group classification. NOAA region 11513 has increased in complexity and is also classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. In the past 24 hours NOAA 11513 has produced C-class events, along with an M2.4 flare (28-Jun-2012 16:07 UT) and an M2.2 flare (29-Jun-2012 09:13 UT). Further C-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a good chance for another M-class event. The position of NOAA 11513 on 29-Jun-2012 at 12:30 UT is: N17E38, ( -559", 242" ) 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, Yesterday's target region NOAA 11512 has continued to grow, adding significant area and number of spots. This region has increased in complexity (now a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group classification) and has produced a few C-class events since yesterday's email, the largest being a C4.2 flare on 28-Jun-2012 at 04:45 UT. More C-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a small chance for a low M-class event if NOAA 11512 continues to grow. The position of NOAA 11512 on 28-Jun-2012 at 11:30 UT is: S15E05, ( -75", -287" ) 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 region 11512 has continued to emerge magnetic flux, increasing in spot area coverage and number of spots in the past 24 hours. This region remains classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but shows signs of mixed polarity formation. NOAA 11512 has produced 2 C-class events since yesterday's message, the largest being a C3.2 flare on 27-Jun-2012 at 07:57 UT. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a small chance for an isolated low M-class event if NOAA 11512 develops mixed polarity intermediate spots. The position of NOAA 11512 on 27-Jun-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S16E20, ( -312", -298" ) 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, Yesterday's target region has received NOAA designation 11512 and a beta/D-type sunspot group classification. This region has continued its emergence phase in the past 24 hours and has been the source of several B-class events and a C1.4 flare on 25-Jun-2012 at 20:55 UT. 11512 appears to be developing some polarity mixing while coalescing its primary leading and trailing spots. Further B-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a chance for C-class events if 11512 emerges more flux. The position of NOAA 11512 on 26-Jun-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S16E34, ( -510", -292" ) 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 new spotted region is located in the South-East quadrant, showing a beta magnetic classification. This region does not have a NOAA number as it emerged after the NOAA designations were released at 00:30 UT. B-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a chance for C-class events if this region continues to emerge magnetic flux. The approximate position of this region on 25-Jun-2012 at 10:00 UT is: S15E48, ( -676", -269" ) 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, Target region NOAA 11511 has maintained spot area coverage and number of spots, remaining a beta/C-type sunspot group classification. This region seems to have finished emerging and is likely to decay in the next few days. B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11511 on 24-Jun-2012 at 14:00 UT is: N15W37, ( 546", 217" ) 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, Yesterday's target region is now designated as NOAA 11511. This region remains fairly small with few spots and is classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. C-class activity is possible in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11511 on 23-Jun-2012 at 11:30 UT is: N15W23, ( 362", 215" ) 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, Yesterday's target region NOAA 11504 has now rotated to the South West limb, while a region has emerged near the central meridian over the last 18 hours. This region has spots but no penumbrae within the leading negative-polarity field, while the trailing portion contains only pores. C-class activity may be possible in the next 24 hours if the region continues to emerge. The approximate position of this region on 22-Jun-2012 at 09:30 UT is: N15W08, ( 125", 215" ) 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 region 11504 has maintained its number of spots, but again decreased in spot area coverage as it rotates towards the South West limb. This region has decreased in complexity with being reclassified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but this is partly due to its proximity to the limb. C-class activity is probable before 11504 rotates completely over the limb. The position of NOAA 11504 on 21-Jun-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S16W82, ( 899", -264" ) 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.
