MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 May '15

31 May '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains at a very low level. NOAA 12356 continues to be the largest region on disk and has been reclassified as a beta/C-type sunspot group in the past 24 hours. This region produced more B-class activity since yesterday's message. Further B-class flares are likely over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for a C-class event. The position of NOAA 12356 on 31-May-2015 at 21:30 UT is: S16E22, ( -345", -251" ) 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 continues to be very low. NOAA 12356 has remained the largest spotted region on the visible disk. This region is classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group and was the source of a couple of low B-class flares since the last message. 12356 has now developed some small pore spots in the trailing flux portion, making it a beta magnetic classification. Further B-class activity is likely over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated C-class event. The position of NOAA 12356 on 30-May-2015 at 20:30 UT is: S15E36, ( -536”, -234” ) 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 a very low level. Yesterday's target is now designated as NOAA 12356 and is the only numbered region on the visible disk. 12356 is classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group, but the leading-polarity spot is in close proximity to a portion of opposite-polarity flux from a preceding plage region. More B-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low C-class event. The position of NOAA 12356 on 29-May-2015 at 15:00 UT is: S15E53, ( -730", -236" ) 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. NOAA region 12353 has rotated up to the North West limb. A new spotted region rotated over the South East limb in the past 48 hours, but has remained unnumbered. This region produced a C1.3 flare on 27-May-2015 at 21:22 UT and appears to comprise of a reasonably-sized leading-polarity spot with diffuse trailing-polarity plage. B-class activity is likely over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low C-class event. The approximate position of this region on 28-May-2015 at 20:00 UT is: S18E71, ( -851”, -287” ) 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 remains at a very low level. NOAA 12353 continues in decay phase, decreasing in spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours while maintaining a beta/C-type sunspot group classification. NOAA regions 12349, 12351 and 12353 all produced low-level B-class flares over the past 24 hours. Further B-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours, with a small chance for an isolated low C-class event. The position of NOAA 12353 on 27-May-2015 at 12:00 UT is: N07W66, ( 858", 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 level of solar activity continues to be very low. NOAA region 12353 has decayed more since yesterday's message, maintaining spot area and decreasing in number of spots. This region is now classed as a beta/C-type sunspot group and has again produced no flares in the past 24 hours. B-class flares are probable in the following 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low C-class event. The position of NOAA 12353 on 26-May-2015 at 14:30 UT is: N07W53, ( 753", 129" ) 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 very low level. NOAA 12353 has shown further signs of decay since yesterday’s message. This region has maintained a beta/D-type sunspot group designation, but has not been the source of any flaring over the past 24 hours. B-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period, with a chance for an isolated low C-class event. The position of NOAA 12353 on 25-May-2015 at 16:00 UT is: N07W40, ( 605”, 134” ) 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 2353 was the source of a C2.3 event at 05/23/17:39 UT. 2353 decayed following the C-class event losing its beta-gamma magnetic configuration. The background x-ray flux is currently at a low B1.8 level. Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2353 on May 24 at 15:35 UT is: N07W27 (Solar X = 428", Solar Y = 139") 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 2352, N05E01, has decayed significantly. Recently emerged NOAA 2353 will become the new target. 2353 has developed a D-type sunspot group with a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. There is a possibility of a small delta configuration forming within the intermediate portion of the region. 2353 was the source of two minor C-class events today. C-class events are probable in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2353 on May 23 at 11:35 UT is: N07W10 (Solar X = 163", Solar Y = 144") 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, Solar flare activity continues very low. The background x-ray flux is currently at the B2.2 level. The target region, now numbered NOAA 2352, has a few small spots with mixed polarities. No significant solar flare activity expected during the next 24 hours. An active filament located at N15E01 slowly disappeared early UT today. The position of NOAA 2352 on May 22 at 10:45 UT is: N06E18 (Solar X = -293", Solar Y = 129") 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.
