MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1936, S16W59, produced a surprise major
M9.9 event at 01/01/18:52 UT. 1936 was displaying signs
of decay before the M9 event and the region has continued
to decay losing significant sunspot count and area and
magnetic complexity following the M9 event. Target region
now numbered NOAA 1944 is a very large and magnetically
complex E-type/beta/gamma-delta region but only managed to produce an
isolated M1.7 and a C9.5 today. It is likely that
1944 will produce M-class activity with the chance of a =/>M5 event.
The position of NOAA 1944 on January 02 at 16:30 UT is:
S07E65 (Solar X = -879", Solar Y = -096")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Former target region NOAA 1936, S16W46, produced a significant
M6.4 event at 12/31/21:58 UT. The region developed a small
but strong delta configuration yesterday. 1936 has
decayed somewhat since the M6 event but it still could produce
another M-class event. The east limb target region has now
partially rotated over the southeastern limb displaying a large
leader sunspot with a few intermediate sunspots following it.
The region is too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic
configuration but it appears that it has mixed polarities. It is
currently the brightest plage on the visible disk. C-class events
expected with an M-class event likely in the next 24 hours.
The position of the target on January 01, 2014 at 15:45 UT is:
S08E84 (Solar X = -962", Solar Y = -130")
