MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains high with numerous C- and M1 flares emanating from NOAA 12422 since the last message. The target region has increased in size and extent to an F-type region, and retains the delta configuration within its leader spot. Further C- and M-level activity expected with chance for an isolated >M5 flare before it reaches the western limb. Major Flare Watch campaign shall remain in effect. The position of NOAA 12422 on 30-Sep-2015 at 14:35 UT is: S18W51, ( 709", -362" ) 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The Sun has remained very active over the past 24 hours. Both NOAA 12422 and NOAA 12423, which are magnetically interconnected, have continued to produce C- and low-M-class flares. Target region NOAA 12422 retains its delta configuration and is undergoing strong shearing within its leader spot. Sustained intermediate level activity is expected with chance of an >M5 level event. The position of NOAA 12422 on 29-Sep-2015 at 14:35 UT is: S20W39, ( 567", -409" ) 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 NOAA 12422 has just produced an M7.6 flare beginning at 14:53 UT today. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign due to the increased likelihood of further activity at or above the M5 level over the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 12422 on 28-Sep-2015 at 14:35 UT is: S20W25, ( 381", -423" ) 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
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at intermediate levels over the past 24 hours, with C- and M-level events from both NOAA 12422 and NOAA 12423. The largest event was an M3.6 flare at 03:34 UT today from NOAA 12423, which is now nearing the western limb. NOAA 12422 retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration and has continued to increase in size, with a current area of 650 uH. Sustained flaring is expected from both regions with NOAA 12422 remaining the target region. The position of NOAA 12422 on 28-Sep-2015 at 12:30 UT is: S20W23, ( 352", -425" ) 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

27 Sep '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has increased over the past 24 hours with several C-class flares and an M1.9 flare coming from the target region. The M1.9 event was a sympathetic flare occurring in NOAA 12422 and NOAA 12423 simultaneously at 10:20 UT today. NOAA 12422 has continued to increased in size and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region due to mixed polarity within the penumbra of the leader spot. Further intermediate level activity expected with chance for an additional M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12422 on 27-Sep-2015 at 14:35 UT is: S20W12, ( 187", -432" ) 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 around the low C-level. The target region NOAA 12422 continues to grow and develop as it crosses the central meridian and is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type region. Chance remains for increased activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12422 on 26-Sep-2015 at 14:35 UT is: S20E01, ( -15", -434" ) 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

25 Sep '15

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains at low levels. The largest event since the last message was a C3.3 flare at 23:41 UT yesterday from parting region NOAA 12415. The target region NOAA 12422 has been mostly quiescent but has continued to increased in size and complexity. There has been some positive flux emergence around the negative trailing spot. Chance for some increased activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12422 on 25-Sep-2015 at 12:30 UT is: S20E17, ( -263", -430" ) 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 the target region NOAA 12422 producing additional C-level events since the last message, including a C3.2 flare at 18:54 UT yesterday. The region retains its beta/D-type configuration and continues to show signs of growth. Further low-to-intermediate level events possible The position of NOAA 12422 on 24-Sep-2015 at 11:35 UT is: S20E29, ( -437", -421" ) 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 remained at very low levels with NOAA 12420 continuing to decay. There were a number of low C-class flares from a rapidly emerging new region in the southeast quadrant, designated NOAA 12422, which shall be the new target region. The region has a beta-gamma configuration and may produce further intermediate level flaring as it develops. The position of NOAA 12422 on 23-Sep-2015 at 12:30 UT is: S20E42, ( -602", -407" ) 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 diminished significantly since the last message with only mid-B-level flares emanating from NOAA 12420. The region continues to exhibit signs of flux emergence and may be developing a delta configuration within the leader spot. NOAA 12420 shall continue to be the target region with intermediate level events possible over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12420 on 22-Sep-2015 at 11:35 UT is: N10E57, ( -791", 101" ) 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.
