MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is low. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12087) was only responsible for B-class activity and has further decayed. On the other hand, NOAA 12093 has emerged further flux, and was responsible for a number of C-class events, including the largest of the previous 24 hours, a C5.0 on 20-Jun-2014 at 11:20 UT. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12093 on 20-June-2014 18:40 UT is: S10E11, ( -173", -191" ) 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 level of solar activity is low. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12087) was responsible for low C-class activity, including the largest flare since the previous message, a C1.8 flare at 16:23 UT. The region has decayed some- what. NOAA 12093 shows some signs of flux emergence and was responsible for low C-class activity, but maintains a small total sunspot area. The target will remain with NOAA 12087. Further low C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12087 on 19-June-2014 18:40 UT is: S20W45, ( 629", -341" ) 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 level of solar activity is low. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12089) was responsible for low C-class activity since the previous message. The region has decayed significantly and is not progressing over the limb. The largest event over the last 24 hours, a C4.0 flare on 18-Jun-2014 at 03:31 UT, was released by NOAA 12087. Flux emergence within the region appears to have largely subsided, but the region is magnetically classed as a beta-gamma. Further low C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12087 on 18-June-2014 18:40 UT is: S19W32, ( 477", -327" ) 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 level of solar activity is low. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12089) was responsible for low C-class activity. The largest event over the last 24 hours, a C4.7 flare on 17-Jun-2014 at 05:10 UT, was released by NOAA 12087. While this region has emerged new flux, its magnetic configuration remains simple. NOAA 12089 still shows evidence for a gamma configuration and a strong polarity separation line. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12089 on 17-June-2014 19:45 UT is: N18W63, ( 800", 283" ) 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 level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Yesterday's target, the (still) un-numbered region at the South-East limb was responsible for moderate C-class activity. On the other hand, two low M-class and two high C-class flares originated behind the SW limb (likely from NOAA 12085 and 12084). The flare site has now rotated far enough behind the E-limb that further significant flares from the region are not expected. The most complex region on disk is NOAA 12089 (showing a beta-gamma- delta magnetic classification), and has released a series of low C-class flares over the previous 12 hours. Continuing flux emergence is evident, as well as some shearing, as negative polarity flux flows into the following positive polarity spots, forming a double polarity separation line. Moderate C-class activity is expected, with a chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12089 on 16-June-2014 17:40 UT is: N18W48, ( 666", 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, The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. NOAA 12087 has decreased in flare productivity over the past 24 hours, while NOAA 12085 produced C-class flares and an M1.1 on 15-Jun-2014 at 11:10 UT. However, 12085 is currently rotating out of view over the South West limb. A new (currently unnumbered) region at the South East limb produced an M1.4 flare on 14-Jun-2014 at 19:23 UT and becomes the new target region. C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for another low M-class event. The approximate position of this region on 15-Jun-2014 at 14:00 UT is: S10E90, ( -930", -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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. NOAA 12087 has continued to be the most flare productive region on disk and was the source of the largest event in the past 24 hours (a C9.0 flare on 13-Jun-2014 at 20:13 UT). NOAA 12087 remained classified as a beta-gamma-delta region but was reclassified as an E-type sunspot group. Note that the delta spot in NOAA 12087 has disappeared since classifications were issued. At this time we are ceasing the MM#003 Major Flare Watch, due to the reduced frequency and magnitude of flaring from NOAA 12087 and its reduced magnetic complexity. Further C-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a good chance for more low M-class events. The position of NOAA 12087 on 14-Jun-2014 at 12:30 UT is: S18E23, ( -355", -306" ) 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 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity remains high. Three active regions (NOAA 12085, 12087, 12089) have produced low M-class flares in the past 24 hours. 12087 is the most flare productive (having been the source of 2 C-class flares and 3 M-class flares) and it has been reclassified as a beta-gamma-delta/D-type sunspot group. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue for the next 24-48 hours, as NOAA 12087 maintains the potential for further flaring above the M5 level. The position of NOAA 12087 on 13-Jun-2014 at 14:00 UT is: S18E35, ( -521", -303" ) 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

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues to be at high levels. NOAA 12087 has remained the most flare productive region on the visible disk. This region has now been reclassified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group after rotating away from the limb. NOAA 12087 was the source of 5 C-class flares and 3 M-class flares since yesterday's message (an M3.9 flare on 11-Jun-2014 at 20:53 UT, an M2.0 flare on 12-Jun-2014 at 04:14 UT and an M2.7 flare on 12-Jun-2014 at 10:14 UT). The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue for at least the next 24-48 hours, as NOAA 12087 has the potential for further flaring above the M5 level. The position of NOAA 12087 on 12-Jun-2014 at 11:00 UT is: S18E50, ( -690", -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.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity remains high. The region previously numbered NOAA 12065 has fully rotated over the South East limb and is now designated as 12087. This region is classified as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group and has continued to be flare productive since yesterday's email, being the source of several C-class flares, an M3.0 flare (on 11-Jun-2014 at 08:00 UT) and an X1.0 flare (on 11-Jun-2014 at 08:59 UT). The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain in effect for the next 24-48 hours, as this region has the potential for further flaring above the M5 level. The position of NOAA 12087 on 11-Jun-2014 at 13:00 UT is: S18E64, ( -808", -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.
