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

31 Jul '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is moderate. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12127) was responsible for further low C-class activity since the last message. However, nearby 12130 was responsible for a series of C-class flares and the largest event, a M2.5 flare on 31-Jul-2014 at 11:14 UT. The region shows some evidence for a gamma configuration and a delta spot. Limited FOV instruments should focus on NOAA 12130, but include 12127, if possible. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12130 on 31-July-2014 19:40 UT is: S08E06, ( -100", -225" ) The position of NOAA on at UT is: 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 12127) was responsible for a C9.0 flare on 30-Jul-20014 at 16:17 UT, the largest since the last message. The region maintains the largest spot area. Adjacent region NOAA 12130 released a series of C-class flares. Limited FOV instruments should focus on NOAA 12127 but include 12130, if possible. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12127 on 30-July-2014 18:20 UT is: S08W01, ( 19", -224" ) 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 (the complex of NOAA 12123 and NOAA 12126) was responsible for a series of C-class events. However, NOAA 12127 was responsible for the lasrgest event since the previous message, an impulsive C4.6 flare on 29-Jul-2014 at 16:33 UT. The region exhibits the largest spot area on disk and shows some evidence for a weak delta configuration. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12127 on 29-July-2014 17:50 UT is: S15W58, ( 771", -292" ) 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 12125) was responsible for a C2.4 flare on 28-Jul-2014 at 14:10 UT, the largest since the previous message. There is slight evidence for flux emergence in the region's northern flank. On the other hand, the complex of NOAA 12126 and 12123 was responsible for B- and C-class activity. While flux emergence has subsided in NOAA 12126, there is evidence for substantial emergence in the intermediate portion of NOAA 12123. Limited FOV instruments should focus on this emerging flux region, and should include NOAA 12126, if possible. High B-class activity is expected and C-class activity is probable. The position of NOAA 12123 on 29-July-2014 00:20 UT is: S14W50, ( 701", -285" ) 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 near the southeast limb is now designated as NOAA 12125, and is classified as having a beta/C-type classification. It has produced additional B- and C-level events since the last message. A newly-emerged region close to disk centre (NOAA 12126) has also been the source of some minor activity. Further low-level activity expected from the target region over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12125 on 27-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S12E65, ( -838", -232" ) 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 appears to be on the increase due to the presence of a new active region rotating on to the southeast limb. The region has produced a number of occulted B-level events since the last message, as well as a C1.0 flare at 05:00 UT today. This shall be the new target region with further low-to-intermediate level activity expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 26-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S13E87, ( -918", -217" ) 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 conditions remain largely unchanged since the last message. NOAA 12121 produced a C2.2 flare from its leading edge at 06:57 UT today. The region has shown signs of development with flux emergence within the penumbra of the dominant sunspot. Additional isolated low-level events possible. The position of NOAA 12121 on 25-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: N07E40, ( -604", 49" ) 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. The target region NOAA 12121 was the source of a C2.1 flare at 01:40 UT today but has otherwise remained quiescent. The region maintains its size and complexity, and may produce additional isolated low-level events over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12121 on 24-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: N06E52, ( -741", 46" ) 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 near the northeast limb has now been designated as NOAA 12121 and is classified as a beta/D-type region. The region produced two mid-B-level flares today but has otherwise shown no signs of development. Further isolated low-level events possible. The position of NOAA 12121 on 23-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: N07E61, ( -821", 74" ) 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 despite the appearance of a new active region on the eastern limb. The region is as-yet unnumbered and its magnetic configuration is uncertain but it shall remain the target region. Slight chance of isolated low-level events over the next 24 hours. The position of the target region on 22-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: N11E80, ( -913", 166" ) 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.
