MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11967 has produced several C-class flares since the M6.6 flare yesterday. The region continues to grow in size and has retained its beta-gamma-delta configuration. There are currently signs of rapid flux emergence to the northwest of the dominant trailing spot. Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect due to the increased likelihood of another >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 11967 on 31-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S14E36, ( -557", -155" ) 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 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 11967 has just produced an M6.6 flare, peaking at 16:11 UT. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign. Chance for additional >M5 flares over the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 11967 on 30-Jan-2014 at 12:35 UT is: S14E48, ( -704", -169" ) 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 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The target region, NOAA 11967, is now classified as having a beta-gamma-delta configuration and a sunspot area of ~1000uh, although it appears to be in decay. The region has produced several C-level events since the last message, as well as two low M-class flares. Further intermediate level activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11967 on 30-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S14E53, ( -756", -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 remains elevated. The target region, NOAA 11967, has continued to produce C- and M-level events over the past 24 hours; the largest of which was another M4.9 flare at 19:00 UT yesterday. The region is now classified as having a beta-gamma/E-type magnetic configuration. Further intermediate level activity is expected. The position of NOAA 11967 on 29-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S12E62, ( -842", -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.

28 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has increased significantly. The new target region on the southeast limb has now been designated as NOAA 11967 and has produced five M-class flares since the last message, including an M4.9 at 22:05 UT yesterday. The region is still too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration but sustained C- and M-level activity is likely. The position of NOAA 11967 on 28-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S14E71, ( -894", -203" ) 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.

27 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, A new region rotating onto the southeast limb was the source of two M1 flares since the last message. The magnetic configuration of the region is unclear at this time but it shall be the new target region. Further C-level activity expected with chance for an additional low M-class event. The approximate position of the target region on 27-Jan-2014 at 10:00 UT is: S15E83, ( -935", -240" ) 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.

26 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has increased since the last message. There were two occulted C-class flares along the eastern limb; one from the northern hemisphere, one from the southern. NOAA 11960 also produced a C6.1 flare at 10:05 UT today. NOAA 11959 remains unchanged but shall continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours. Also include NOAA 11960 in your field of view if possible. Chance for additional isolated C-level activity. The position of NOAA 11959 on 26-Jan-2014 at 11:00 UT is: S23W26, ( 394", -301" ) 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 11959, was the source of a C1.5 flare at 23:36 UT yesterday. The region has been downgraded to a beta configuration but has undergone some flux emergence in its trailing spot. Chance for additional isolated C-level events. The position of NOAA 11959 on 25-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S23W10, ( 156", -295" ) 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. NOAA 11957 in the northwest quadrant has produced a few B-class flares since the last message, but NOAA 11959 remains quiescent. NOAA 11959 shall continue to be the target region but no significant activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11959 on 24-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: 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, Quiet-Sun conditions continue despite the presence of 12 numbered active regions on the visible hemisphere. The largest event since the last message was a C1.3 flare from NOAA 11955 at 18:57 UT yesterday. The target region, NOAA 11959, has begun to decay but retains its beta-gamma configuration. Slight chance for an isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11959 on 23-Jan-2014 at 11:00 UT is: S23E14, ( -217", -299" ) 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.
