MM#009 Default HESSI Target

MM#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar flare activity was at a very low level for the past 24 hours. Target region NOAA 2268, S10W41, continues in decay phase. It is still possible that 2268 will produce additional low-level events but the target will switch to NOAA 2277 today. NOAA 2277 is mostly unchanged maintaining its F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. C-class events are probable with the chance of an isolated M-class event as well in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2277 on January 31 at 16:30 UT is: N08E37 (Solar X = -582", Solar Y = 215") 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 2268 was the source of C-class events and an M2.0 event at 01/30/00:44 UT and an M1.7 event at 01/30/05:36 UT. 2268 has slightly decayed but remains a large F-type/beta-gamma region. 2268 will continue to be the target region again today. C-class events expected with the chance of an M-class event in the next 24 hours. NOAA 2277, N07E53, has a large F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group but has also decayed somewhat. 2277 produced an M2.4 event at 01/30/12:16 UT. Another M-class event is possible. The position of NOAA 2268 on January 30 at 15:45 UT is: S12W23 (Solar X = 374", Solar Y -112") 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 2268 was the source of an M2.1 event at 01/29/11:42 UT. 2268 increased its spot count and spot area somewhat since the last message and continues to maintain its large F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. 2268 will continue to be the target region for the next 24 hours. C-class activity probable with the chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. NOAA 2277, N07E68, is also a large F-type/beta-gamma region. 2277 produced numerous C-class events and an isolated M1.0 event at 01/28/21:37 UT. 2277 will continue to produce C-class activity with the chance of another M-class event. The position of NOAA 2268 on January 29 at 11:45 UT is: S10W07 (Solar X = 117", Solar Y = -072") 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 2268 produced an M1.4 event at 01/28/04:41 UT and a C9.8 event at 01/28/05:30 UT. 2268 is maintaining a large F-type sunspot group with a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 2268 will remain the target for the next 24 hours. C-class events expected with the chance of another M-class event in the next 24 hour period. Old NOAA 2257 has completed east limb passage and has been named NOAA 2277. It is too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic complexity but it has been displaying continuous bright surging. There is a separate large sunspot located on the limb just north of 2277. The position of NOAA 2268 on January 28 at 11:45 UT is: S10E06 (Solar X = -101", Solar Y = -073") 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 2268 is mostly unchanged maintaining its E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. It was the source of minor C-class activity since the last message. C-class events with a chance of another M-class event is possible in the next 24 hours. 2268 will remain the target for at least the next 24 period. Old NOAA 2257 is currently located just beyond the northeastern limb at approximately N07. 2257 was the source of countless C-class events and a few M-class events (the largest was an M5.6 at 01/13/04:24 UT) on its first rotation of the visible disk. It produced a couple of limb occulted C-class events today. The position of NOAA 2268 on January 27 at 11:30 UT is: S10E18 (Solar X = -298", Solar Y = -079") 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 2268, was the source of an isolated M1.1 event at 01/26/16:53 UT. 2268 has a large E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with emerging flux located within its trailing portion. C-class events expected with the chance of another M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2268 on January 26 at 11:45 UT is: S10E33 (Solar X = -525", Solar Y = -091") 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 unchanged since the last message, with NOAA 12268 retaining its size and complexity. Both it and NOAA 12264 produced a few C1 flares but NOAA 12264 is now behind the western limb. NOAA 12268 shall remain the target region with further minor events possible. The position of NOAA 12268 on 25-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is: S10E41, ( -631", -99" ) 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 continued at low levels. The target region NOAA 12268 is now classified as a beta-gamma region but has still only produced low C-level events since the last message. The region appears to be in decay but additional isolated C-class flares may be possible. The position of NOAA 12268 on 24-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is: S10E53, ( -768", -114" ) 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 has now been designated as NOAA 12268. It appears to be a simple beta region and had been relatively quiet since the M1.4 flare yesterday. The only noteworthy event today was a C4.3 flare at 02:48 UT. The region may be showing signs of decay but still has the potential to produce further C-level activity, with slight chance of an isolated low M flare. The position of NOAA 12268 on 23-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is: S10E60, ( -832", -124" ) 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 on the southeast limb has continued to produce C-level activity since the last message, as well as an M1.4 flare at 04:43 UT today. The region is still too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration. However, further C-level activity is likely, with chance for an additional low M-class flare as it rotates on the visible hemisphere. The approximate position of the target region on 22-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is: S11E85, ( -953", -177" ) 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.
