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

31 Jul '12

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The trailing portion of NOAA 11532 has now been designated as NOAA 11536. The target region has shown signs of decay but was the source of an M1.1 event at 15:39 UT yesterday. We are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign at this time but further C-level activity can be expected from the 11532/11536 complex, with chance of another isolated low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 11532 on 31-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S19E09, ( -139", -396" ) 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, A new region on the north east limb has been the source of several C-class flares over the past 24 hours. The target region NOAA 11532 has been relatively quiet but retains its large sunspot area with mixed polarities in its core. Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect due to the possibility of another >M5 event. The position of NOAA 11532 on 30-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S21E28, ( -415", -415" ) 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11532 continues to develop and was the source of two M-class flares since the last message, including an M6.7 at 20:56 UT. The region has a strong delta spot at its core and a highly sheared polarity inversion line in its leader spot. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign due to the increased likelihood of another >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 11532 on 29-Jul-2012 at 00:30 UT is: S22E47 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 11532, was the source of an M2.7 flare at 17:17 UT yesterday. The region has a small sunspot area but comprises extended bipolar plage with a highly sheared neutral line. Further low level activity possible with chance for another isolated intermediate level event. The position of NOAA 11532 on 28-Jul-2012 at 07:00 UT is: S20E49, ( -671", -378" ) 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 11530 has been quiescent over the past 24 hours while NOAA 11528 was the source of a C5.0 event at 03:58 UT today. However a new region on the south east limb, NOAA 11532, has produced several low-level events and shall be the new target region. NOAA 11532 is currently classified as a beta region and is likely to produce further B- and C-level activity. The position of NOAA 11532 on 27-Jul-2012 at 11:00 UT is: S20E61, ( -777", -363" ) 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 with the target region NOAA 11530 producing only B-level events in the past 24 hours. The region has been reclassified as having a beta configuration and has shown some signs of growth. Further low-level events likely with chance for an isolated C-class flare. The position of NOAA 11530 on 26-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S19E49, ( -675", -362" ) 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 has now been designated as NOAA 11530 and is currently classified as an alpha region. The region was the source of a C4.2 flare at 18:56 UT yesterday but has been relatively quiet since. Chance for further low-level events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11530 on 25-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S19E63, ( -796", -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 has increased over the past 24 hours due to the appearance of several new active regions on the eastern limb. The most active of these is an as-yet unnumbered region on the southeast limb which has produced four low C-class flares. The magnetic configuration of the region is unknown at this time but further C-level activity can be expected. The position of the target region on 24-Jul-2012 at 12:00 UT is: S19E87, ( -891", -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, Solar activity remains at low levels. The target region, NOAA 11525, retains its beta configuration and has produced only low B-level events since the last message. No significant increase in activity expected at this time. The position of NOAA 11525 on 23-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is: S21W22, ( 331", -411" ) 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 Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Target region NOAA 1525 was the source of a few B-class events but the largest event was a C1.4 produced by NOAA1526. 1526 is a simple B-type/beta region. 1525 is a simple C-type/beta region. No significant flare activity expected anytime soon. The position of NOAA 1525 on July 22 at 15:00 UT is: S20W14 (Solar X = 215", Solar Y = -398") 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.
