MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity continues to be low. NOAA 12537 began to decay over the past 24 hours but remains classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. Newly numbered region NOAA 12539 produced the largest flare since the last message, a C1.2 on 30-Apr-2016 at 10:40 UT. This region was initially classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group but it now appears to have some magnetic polarity mixing (i.e., a beta-gamma classification). C-class flares are probable over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12539 on 30-Apr-2016 at 20:30 UT is: N17E40, ( -584", 329" ) 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 very low level. NOAA 12535 slowed in its growth and has been confirmed as a beta/C-type sunspot group over the past 24 hours. This region produced a B3.4 flare shortly after the last message (on 28-Apr-2016 at 23:18 UT) but has remained flare quiet otherwise. NOAA 12537 has grown in sunspot area over the past 24 hours, and is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region produced two B-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of the period (a B6.2 on 29-Apr-2016 at 03:51 UT). More B-class flares are expected over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12537 on 29-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: S07W74, ( 909", -96" ) 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 12536 grew somewhat in spot area and number of spots over the previous 24 hours. This region has remained classed as a beta/D-type sunspot group and was flare-quiet since the last message. NOAA 12535 also grew marginally and produced 4 C-class flares, including the largest magnitude event of the period (a C1.9 on 28-Apr-2016 at 12:46 UT). Although this region was earlier classed as an alpha/H-type sunspot group, it appears to be at least a beta/C-type classification now. More C-class flares are probable over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12535 on 28-Apr-2016 at 23:00 UT is: N06E17, ( -282", 169" ) 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. Yesterday's target region has been numbered as NOAA 12536 and has been designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group classification. This region has grown in spot area and number of spots since the last message and produced 3 B-class flares, including the largest magnitude event of the period (a B7.2 flare on 27-Apr-2016 at 03:47 UT). Further B-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for C-class flares. The position of NOAA 12536 on 27-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N15E46, ( -666", 296" ) 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 very low. A new region has rotated over the North East limb within the past 24 hours, producing 9 B-class flares since the last message. This region seems to have a beta/B-type sunspot group classification. More B-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours, with a good chance for some C-class flares. The approximate position of this region on 26-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N13E49, ( -701", 263" ) 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 to be very low. The previous target region has been designated as NOAA 12535 and classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group. Only B-class activity has occurred since yesterday's message. More B-class activity is probable over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12535 on 25-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N05E65, ( -863", 115" ) 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 very low. NOAA 12532 has decayed further since the last message, continuing to decrease in spot area and number of spots. A currently unnumbered region has rotated over the North East limb, producing a B1.7 flare on 24-Apr-2016 at 02:21 UT. This is most likely the return of the region that was previously designated as NOAA 12528. Further B-class activity is probable over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 24-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N07E80, ( -932", 130" ) 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 a very low level. NOAA region 12532 has decayed over the last 24 hours, decreasing in spot area and number of spots. This region is now classified as an alpha/A-type sunspot group and only produced a B1.3 flare since the last message (on 23-Apr-2016 at 21:18 UT). Further B-class activity is possible over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12532 on 23-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N06W24, ( 390", 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, The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA 12532 continues to be the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk, staying classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Only B-class flares have occurred since the last message, all originating from the high-lying loops of NOAA 12529 that is now located beyond the North West limb. More B-class activity is probable over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12532 on 22-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N06W10, ( 163", 181" ) 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 12529 has now rotated over the North West limb. The new target region will be NOAA 12532 as it is the most complex region on the disk, being classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Only B-class flares have occurred since the last message, with NOAA 12532 producing a B4.6 event on 20-Apr-2016 at 21:22 UT. More B-class activity is probable over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12532 on 21-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N06E04, ( -69", 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.
