MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2449 has decayed significantly since
the M-class flare yesterday. 2449 has lost sunspot area and
count but is still currently displaying a weak beta-gamma
magnetic configuration. C-class activity is possible in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2449 on November 10 at 12:35 UT is:
S11E25 (Solar X = -403", Solar Y = -236")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2449 was the source of an isolated
and somewhat strong M3.9 event at 11/09/13:12 UT. 2449 is
maintaining its D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with a
tilted E-W magnetic inversion line. C-class events possible
with only a slight chance of another moderate M-class
event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2449 on November 09 at 12:35 UT is:
S12E37 (Solar X = -598", Solar Y = -247")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has been quiet since the last message. The target
region NOAA 12449 was the source of an isolated C2.5 flare at 22:59 UT
yesterday. The beta region has begun to weaken but retains some
polarity mixing in its core. Further isolated low-level events
possible.
The position of NOAA 12449 on 8-Nov-2015 at 18:35 UT is:
S12E46, ( -683", -243" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased due to the appearance of a new active
region on the southeast limb. NOAA 12449 has produced several C-class
flares over the past 24 hours and is showing signs of development. It
shall be the new target region with further intermediate level
activity possible.
The position of NOAA 12449 on 7-Nov-2015 at 15:35 UT is:
S12E63, ( -845", -229" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains steady around the C1 level. NOAA 12443
produced a solitary C1.1 flare at 09:40 UT today. The region has
continued to decay and has now been downgraded to a simple beta
region. NOAA 12443 shall remain the target region although no
significant activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12433 on 6-Nov-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
N07W30, ( 482", 61" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions have returned after the long-duration M3.7 flare
yesterday, and with NOAA 12445 now behind the western limb. NOAA 12443
has decayed significantly and has lost its delta configuration. NOAA
12443 shall remain the target region with only isolated low-level
events expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12443 on 5-Nov-2015 at 15:35 UT is:
N06W18, ( 298", 37" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message with two
low-M-class flares from NOAA 12445 and an M3.7 from NOAA 12443 at
13:31 UT today. Both regions are classified as beta-delta regions,
with NOAA 12445 on the western limb while NOAA 12443 is crossing the
central meridian. NOAA 12443 remains largely unchanged with polarity
mixing and signs of rotating sunspots in its core. It shall remain the
target region with chance for further C- and low M-level activity.
The position of NOAA 12443 on 4-Nov-2015 at 15:35 UT is:
N06W06, ( 100", 33" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has diminished since the last message. The target
region NOAA 12443 produced an isolated C2.3 flare at 00:39 UT today.
The region has developed some mixed polarity flux within its core
leading it to be reclassified as a beta-delta region. Chance for
additional isolated intermediate level events over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12443 on 3-Nov-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
N06E09, ( -151", 31" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at the C-level with much of the activity
since the last message coming from a newly emerged region in the
northwest quadrant (NOAA 12445). NOAA 12443 has been downgraded to a
beta-gamma region and we are therefore ending the Major Flare Watch
campaign at this time. NOAA 12443 shall remain the target region for a
further 24 hours with isolated intermediate level events possible.
The position of NOAA 12443 on 2-Nov-2015 at 15:35 UT is:
N07E20, ( -329", 50" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. NOAA 12443 has
produced several more C-class flares since the last message, including
an M1.0 at 17:48 UT today. The region retains its beta-gamma-delta
configuration although the trailing portion may be beginning to
fragment. Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect due to the
possibility of an isolated >M5 flare.
The position of NOAA 12443 on 1-Nov-2015 at 18:35 UT is:
N07E32, ( -510", 55" )
