MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at a low level. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12251) has not released significant activity since the previous message and is in a state of decay. On the other hand, the new region mentioned yesterday has been designated as NOAA 12253, and shows evidence of continuing flux emergence and a gamma magnetic classification. The region was the source of a series of C-class events. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12253 on 31-Dec-2014 at 20:35 UT is: S06E51 ( -756", -70" ) 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 is at a low level. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12251) was responsible for C-class activity. A new region has rotated on disk at ~S05E65, and shows evidence for a gamma classification, but has not released significant activity thus far. NOAA 12251 will remain the target for at least the following 24 hours. Further low C-class activity is expected with a chance for a moderate C-class event. The position of NOAA 12251 on 30-Dec-2014 at 20:35 UT is: S15E20 ( -323", -209" ) 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 is low. Yesterday's target (12249) has not produced significant activity since the previous message, and it has now rotated over the limb. On the other hand, NOAA 12248 was responsible for a series of low C-class events, which is subsiding. NOAA 12251 has newly emerged and appears to be forming a mixed polarity spot in its northern intermediate portion. It has released a low C-class event so far. Further low C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class event. The position of NOAA 12251 on 29-Dec-2014 at 22:35 UT is: S12E32 (-507",-164") 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 2249 has decayed losing much of its magnetic complexity. C-class activity is still possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2249 on December 28 at 16:30 UT is: S10W71 (Solar X = 909", Solar Y = -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#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2249 was the source of C-class events and an isolated M2.2 event at 12/27/02:16 UT. 2249 is maintaining its D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. C-class events expected with another isolated M-class event possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2249 on December 27 at 16:30 UT is: S12W57 (Solar X = 801", Solar Y = -180") 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 regions 2241 and 2242 are now a few days beyond the southwestern limb. The new target is recently emerged NOAA 2249. 2249 is currently a developing region with a D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. C-class activity expected with a slight chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2249 on December 26 at 16:30 UT is: S12W43 (Solar X = 652", Solar Y = -174") 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 regions 2241 and 2242 were the source of C-class limb activity since the last message. 2242 is now approximately two days beyond the southwestern limb and target region 2241 is on the limb. If possible, include the limb position of 2242 within your F-O-V. Additional C-class events are possible in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2241 on December 25 at 16:00 UT is: S11W90 (Solar X = 958", Solar Y = -186") 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 2242 is now located just beyond the southwestern limb. 2242 was the source of a few C-class events since the last message. The largest was a C4.9 event at 12/23/22:49 UT. The new target will be NOAA 2241. If possible, include the limb position of 2242 (S16W91) within your F-O-V. C-class activity is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2241 on December 24 at 12:30 UT is: S08W68 (Solar X = 896", Solar Y = -122") 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 2242 continues in decay phase. It was the source of a few C-class events since the last message. C-class activity probable with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2242 on December 23 at 12:30 UT is: S17W78 (Solar X = 912", Solar Y = -278") 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 2242 was the source of an M1.0 event at 12/22/01:49 UT and a few C-class events. 2242 continues in decay phase losing sunspot area, sunspot count and magnetic complexity. NOAA 2241 (S10W40) is also decaying and quiescent since the M1.0 event on 12/21. C-class events expected with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2242 on December 22 at 12:30 UT is: S18W64 (Solar X = 834", Solar Y = -288") 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.
