MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at a high level. The region previously numbered NOAA 12065 is currently rotating over the South East limb and has produced two low X-class flares in the last two hours (an X2.2 on 10-Jun-2014 at 11:36 UT and an X1.5 on 10-Jun-2014 at 12:36 UT). Although this active region is too close to the limb to determine an accurate magnetic complexity, its flare productivity means that at this time we are commencing a MM#003 Major Flare Watch. C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for further flaring above the M5 level. The approximate position of this region on 10-Jun-2014 at 13:00 UT is: S19E89, ( -893", -308" ) 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 level of solar activity continues to be low. NOAA 12080 has grown in spot area but reduced in number of spots over the past 24 hours. This region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta/ D-type sunspot group, but the delta spot appears to be weakening with the main trailing negative polarity spot beginning to lose its penumbra. NOAA 12085 has continued to grow in both spot area and number of spots with emerging new magnetic flux over the past 24 hours. 12085 remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and was the source of two C-class flares since yesterday's message, the largest being a C3.7 on 9-Jun-2014 at 01:14 UT. The trailing spots of 12085 have started merging and are forming more mature penumbrae. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12085 on 9-Jun-2014 at 12:00 UT is: S20W10, ( 148", -330" ) 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 continues at low levels, with only two C-class flares from a region on the western limb since the last message. NOAA 12080 retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration, and continues to increase in size, although it remains quiescent. Still a chance of C- and low-M-level activity from the target region over the next 24 hours. Also include NOAA 12085 in your field of view is possible. The position of NOAA 12080 on 8-Jun-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S12W00, ( 0", -200" ) 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 elevated with the target region, NOAA 12080, having produced a number of C-class flares since the last message, as well as an M1.4 at 19:26 UT yesterday. The region now comprises an island delta within its rotating trailing spot. A large beta-gamma region (NOAA 12085) has also emerged just south of the target region over the past 24 hours. Further C-level activity expected from NOAA 12080, with the possibility of another low M-flare. Also include NOAA 12085 in your field of view if possible. The position of NOAA 12080 on 7-Jun-2014 at 11:00 UT is: S12E11, ( -177", -198" ) 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 continues at very low levels despite the rapid emergence of a new active region in the north east quadrant (NOAA 12082). The target region NOAA 12080 continues to develop and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. There is some negative polarity flux encroaching into the penumbra of the positive leader spot that may result in increased activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12080 on 6-Jun-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S13E27, ( -419", -212" ) 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 very low levels. NOAA 12077 has remained quiescent since the last message. The new target region shall be NOAA 12080, a newly emerged beta region in the southeast quadrant. The region has produced several B-class flares over the past 24 hours and appears to exhibit some polarity mixing around its leader spot. Further low level activity likely. The position of NOAA 12080 on 5-Jun-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S12E39, ( -583", -195" ) 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 12077 remains largely unchanged since the last message. It has produced two low-C-class flares and retains its beta/C-type configuration. Chance for additional isolated low-level events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12077 on 4-Jun-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S08E12, ( -195", -127" ) 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, NOAA 12077 was the source of an M1.3 flare at 03:58 UT today and shall be the new target region. The region has been downgraded from a beta-gamma region to a beta since the last message, but currently appears to be undergoing new flux emergence to the south of the leader spot. This polarity mixing may give rise to further low-to-intermediate level events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12077 on 3-Jun-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S05E26, ( -414", -76" ) 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, NOAA 12079 has remained quiescent since the last message, while nearby NOAA 12077 has increased in both size and complexity. NOAA 12079 maintains a strong polarity inversion line between its leading and trailing spots, and shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours. Chance for an isolated C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12079 on 2-Jun-2014 at 03:00 UT is: N12E61, ( -810", 201" ) 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 2079) was the source of a C2.4 event at 06/01/01:37. 2079 is the decayed return of old NOAA 2055. The region has a large leader sunspot with a possible small opposite polarity spot located close to its northeastern penumbral boundary. Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2079 on June 01 at 10:45 UT is: N13E74 (Solar X = -887", Solar Y = 216") 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.
