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

11 Jul '14

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Small spot area and decaying region NOAA 12113 was the source of the largest magnitude flare in the past 24 hours - an M1.5 on 10-Jul-2014 at 22:29 UT. NOAA 12108 is the most complex region on disk, being classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region and 12109 are both in decay as they rotate towards the South West limb. Further C-class activity is likely over the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12108 on 11-Jul-2014 at 16:00 UT is: S07W61, ( 820", -147" ) 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 has returned to a low level. Small spot area NOAA region 12113 has stopped emerging magnetic flux and is already in decay phase after achieving a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group classification. NOAA regions 12108 and 12109 both appear to have lost their delta spot configurations as they progress through their decay phases. 12108 remains the more complex of the two, showing a beta-gamma/-type sunspot group classification. C-class activity is probable over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12108 on 10-Jul-2014 at 16:30 UT is: S07W48, ( 700", -157" ) 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 moderate level. Recently numbered NOAA region 12113 produced two M-class events in the past 24 hours - an M6.5 on 8-Jul-2014 at 16:06 UT and an M1.2 on 9-Jul-2014 at 00:20 UT. However, at this time we are *not* implementing a Major Flare Watch on NOAA 12113 as it has few spots with small area coverage while forming a beta-gamma/C-type sunspot group classification. The largest and most complex regions on disk are still 12108 and 12109 (both remaining a beta-gamma-delta magnetic classification, with D- and E-type sunspot structure classifications, respectively). NOAA 12108 has continued to slowly emerge magnetic flux over the previous 24 hours, while 12109 appears to be in decay phase. Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for another low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12108 on 9-Jul-2014 at 16:00 UT is: S07W34, ( 524", -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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA regions 12108 and 12109 remain the largest and most complex regions on the visible disk, both still being classified as beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot groups. Of these two regions, 12108 has shown signs of magnetic flux emergence over the past 24 hours and has produced two low C-class flares since the last message. Further C-class activity is likely over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12108 on 8-Jul-2014 at 16:00 UT is: S08W21, ( 334", -188" ) 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 remains low. NOAA regions 12108 and 12109 have shown signs of evolution over the past 24 hours, both increasing in complexity. These regions are both classified as beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot groups, but 12108 may have lost its delta spot. NOAA 12109 displays larger spot area and number of spots and was the source of the largest flare since the last email (a C4.3 flare on 7-Jul-2014 at 07:58 UT). Further C-class activity is likely over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12109 on 7-Jul-2014 at 15:00 UT is: S08E13, ( -206", -188" ) 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 has increased slightly over the past 24 hours. A number of low C-level events have emanated from NOAA 12108 and NOAA 12109; both classified as beta-gamma regions. NOAA 12109 shall remain the target region with further C-level activity possible. The position of NOAA 12109 on 6-Jul-2014 at 20:00 UT is: S08E24, ( -381", -183" ) 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 presence of several large active regions on the visible hemisphere. The target region, NOAA 12109, has continued to increase in size and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. Increased activity over the next 24 hours still possible. The position of NOAA 12109 on 5-Jul-2014 at 15:35 UT is: S08E40, ( -602", -173" ) 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 X-ray flux remains constant near the C1 level with no significant activity since the last message. NOAA 12104 and NOAA 12107 have both begun to decrease in both size and complexity. The new target region shall be NOAA 12109, a beta/D-type region in the southeast quadrant. The region has shown signs of flux emergence along its trailing edge and polarity mixing in its core. Chance for some C-level activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12109 on 4-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S08E56, ( -776", -160" ) 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 a few low C-level events since the last message. NOAA 12104 maintains its beta-gamma-delta configuration and continues to develop in size, particularly in its trailing spot. Potential still exists for increased activity from the target region. The position of NOAA 12104 on 3-Jul-2014 at 11:00 UT is: S12E18, ( -286", -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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity is currently at low levels after a flurry of activity from NOAA 12106, including an M1.4 at 11:05 UT yesterday. The target region NOAA 12104 has remained quiescent despite its continued growth and beta-gamma-delta configuration. Nearby NOAA 12107 has also been upgraded to a beta-gamma region. Still a chance of further C-level events from these two regions, with possibility of a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12104 on 2-Jul-2014 at 07:35 UT is: S11E34, ( -519", -220" ) 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.
