MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is moderate. NOAA 12002 has continued to grow over the past 24 hours, again increasing in spot area and number of spots. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta/D-type sunspot group and was the source of an M1.7 flare since the last email (10-Mar-2014 at 15:21 UT). Although the largest flare over the past 24 hours was produced by NOAA 11996 (an M3.5 on 11-Mar-2014 at 03:44 UT), the target will remain as NOAA 12002 due to the evolving delta spot in its mixed-polarity intermediate spot portion. More C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for further M-class events. The position of NOAA 12002 on 11-Mar-2014 at 12:30 UT is: S19E30, ( -461", -213" ) 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 low-to-moderate levels. NOAA region 12002 has grown in the past 24 hours, increasing in both spot area and number of spots. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta/D-type sunspot group and was the source of 10 C-class and 4 M-class flares in the past 24 hours (the largest being an M1.1 flare on 10-Mar-2014 at 00:19 UT). Although the delta spot is small in NOAA 12002, this region still displays an east-west oriented magnetic inversion line. Further C-class activity is expected, with a good chance for more low M-class events in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12002 on 10-Mar-2014 at 11:30 UT is: S19E45, ( -645", -231" ) 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, now numbered NOAA 2002, developed rapidly since the last message. 2002 is currently displaying a D-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group with an east-west magnetic inversion line. The tiny delta configuration is located within the intermediate portion of the region. 2002 was the source of several C-class events and two M-class events. The largest was an M1.4 at 03/08/23:41 UT. C-class events expected with another M-class event probable in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2002 on March 09 at 16:30 UT is: S19E54 (Solar X = -740", Solar Y = -244") 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 1996 has somewhat decayed since the last message. The target will switch to a bright compact C-type/beta region with an east-west magnetic inversion line. This new region was the source of a C3.4 event at 03/07/00:07 UT. Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of the target on March 08 at 12:00 UT is: S19E72 (Solar X = -871", Solar Y = -277") 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 is very low. NOAA 1991 has significantly decayed since the last message. The target will switch to slowly developing NOAA 1996 which is currently displaying bright H-alpha plage and an arch-type filament system. No significant flare events expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 1996 on March 07 at 12:30 UT is: N15W05 (Solar X = 081", Solar Y = 367") 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 1991 has decayed significantly in the past 24 hours. The region currently has a simple beta magnetic configuration. No significant flare events expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 1991 on March 06 at 12:30 UT is: S24W32 (Solar X = 469", Solar Y = -296") 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 1991 was the source of a few C-class events and an isolated M1.1 event at 03/05/02:10 UT. The delta configuration located in the trailing portion of the E-type sunspot group is slowly decaying. Additional C-class events are probable and there is still a chance of another M-class event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 1991 on March 05 at 12:30 UT is: S24W20 (Solar X = 303", Solar Y = -286") 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 1991 developed a new small delta configuration located adjacent to the largest trailing sunspot. The region is now classified beta-gamma-delta with a large E-type sunspot group. 1991 was the source of several C-class events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a C8.3 at 03/04/04:55 UT. Additional C-class events expected with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 1991 on March 04 at 12:30 UT is: S23W07 (Solar X 108", Solar Y = -264") 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 1991 was the source of a few C-class events since the last message. 1991 is maintaining a large E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group and might be forming a delta configuration within its intermediate portion. C-class events expected with an isolated M-class event possible especially if new flux emergence results in a delta configuration. The position of NOAA 1991 on March 03 at 12:30 UT is: S24E06 (Solar X = -092", Solar Y = -280") 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 with the majority of events emanating from a region beyond the western limb. NOAA 11991 has remained quiescent but retains its beta-gamma configuration and continues to show signs of growth. NOAA 11991 shall continue to be the target region with a chance of producing isolated low-level events. The position of NOAA 11991 on 2-Mar-2014 at 16:35 UT is: S25E16, ( -242", -300" ) 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.
