MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains at low levels with the target region, NOAA 11959, largely unchanged. The region produced an isolated C1.2 flare at 22:30 UT yesterday and retains its beta-gamma configuration. Chance for additional isolated low-levels events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11959 on 22-Jan-2014 at 12:35 UT is: S24E26, ( -391", -322" ) 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 11959, has remained quiescent over the past 24 hours despite continuing to increase in size and regaining its beta-gamma configuration. A neighbouring plage region near the eastern limb was the source of long duration C3.7 flare at 21:40 UT yesterday. Isolated C-level events still possible from NOAA 11959. The position of NOAA 11959 on 21-Jan-2014 at 08:35 UT is: S24E42, ( -597", -336" ) 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 intermediate levels. The target region, NOAA 11959, continues to produce C-level events, the largest of which was a C3.4 flare at 02:08 UT today. The region has increased in size since the last message, but has been downgraded to a beta configuration. Further C-level activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 11959 on 20-Jan-2014 at 20:35 UT is: S24E46, ( -642", -340" ) 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 1959 has decayed somewhat but is still currently displaying a D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. The minor mixed polarity is located in the trailing sunspots. 1959 produced a few minor C-class events since the last message. The largest was a C2.7 at 01/19/06:57 UT. Additional C-class activity is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 1959 on January 19 at 16:30 UT is: S25E58 (Solar X = -750", Solar Y = -370") 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, The target region has now completed east limb passage. It is still too close to the limb to positively ascertain its magnetic complexity but it appears to have mixed polarities within its trailing portion. The region was the source of numerous limb occulted C-class events in the past 48 hours. Additional C-class events expected today with a slight chance of an isolated M-class in the next 24 hours. The position of the target on January 18 at 11:45 UT is: S24E80 (Solar X = -878", Solar Y = -382") 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, The target region was the source of a few limb occulted C-class events. The largest was a C8.9 at 01/17/16:08 UT. The target region is still beyond the southeastern limb in the location of old NOAA regions 1936 and 1940. C-class events expected with an M-class event likely and an event =/>M5 possible in the next 24 hour period. The approximate position of the target on January 17 at 14:00 UT is: S23E89 (Solar X = -898", Solar Y = -379") 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, NOAA 1944 has rotated too far beyond the southwestern limb to detect any further x-ray events. The new target is a region just beyond the southeastern limb in the location of active region old NOAA 1936. This region was the source of limb occulted C-class activity in the past 24 hours. The largest was a long duration C2.8 at 01/16/15:41 UT. Additional C-class events expected with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The approximate position of the target on January 16 at 15:45 UT is: S22E90 (Solar X = -905", Solar Y = -364") 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, Solar flare activity was very low during the past 24 hours. All regions on the visible solar disk are stable. The target today will be NOAA 1944 which is now located beyond the southeastern limb. There is a chance to observe limb activity from 1944 in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 1944 on January 15 at 12:30 UT is: S12W91 (Solar X = 953", Solar Y = -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.

MM#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 1944 has almost completed west limb passage. 1944 was the source of an impulsive M1.3 event at 01/13/21:51 UT. Another M-class event is possible within the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 1944 on January 14 at 12:30 UT is: S10W90 (Solar X = 960", Solar Y = -168") 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, NOAA 1944 continues in decay phase losing sunspot area, sunspot count and magnetic complexity but is still a large F-type/beta-gamma region. It is possible that 1944 will produce another M-class event before west limb passage. The position of NOAA 1944 on January 13 at 12:30 UT is: S10W76 (Solar X = 932", Solar Y = -151") 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.
