MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity continues to be low. NOAA region 12529 has rotated up to the North West limb and remains classed as a beta/C-type sunspot group despite being significantly affected by foreshortening effects. NOAA 12529 continues to be the most flare-productive region and was the source of the largest event since yesterday's message (a C1.0 flare on 19-Apr-2016 at 22:52 UT). C-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12529 on 20-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N10W90, ( 940", 165" ) 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 low level. NOAA 12529 has significantly decayed over the past 24 hours, decreasing in spot area, number of spots, and magnetic/structural complexity. This region is now classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group as it rotates up to the North West limb. 12529 continued to be the most flare-productive region on the visible disk and was the source of the largest event since the last message (a B6.6 flare on 19-Apr-2016 at 12:49 UT). C-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12529 on 19-Apr-2016 at 20:30 UT is: N10W78, ( 921", 182" ) 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 solar activity moderate. NOAA 12529 initially underwent some growth before continuing to decay over the past 24 hours. This region is still classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group, although it now appears to have lost its mixed polarity gamma configuration. NOAA 12529 produced the largest event since the last message, a M6.7 flare on 18-Apr-2016 at 00:14 UT. At this point we are NOT implementing a Major Flare Watch because NOAA 12529 appears to have simplified in its magnetic classification after producing the M6.7 flare. C-class flares are expected over the following 24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class event. The position of NOAA 12529 on 18-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N10W61, ( 823", 208" ) 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 low level. NOAA 12529 has continued to decay, decreasing in both spot area and number of spots. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and has produced three C-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of the period (a C5.8 flare on 16-Apr-2016 at 19:42 UT). Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12529 on 17-Apr-2016 at 21:30 UT is: N10W49, ( 711", 223" ) 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 low. NOAA 12529 has decayed further over the past 24 hours, decreasing slightly in spot area and increasing significantly in number of spots. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and produced several B-class flares and two C-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of the period (a C4.1 on 15-Apr-2016 at 14:04 UT). More C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12529 on 16-Apr-2016 at 16:30 UT is: N10W33, ( 516", 241" ) 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 at a low level. NOAA 12529 has slowed in its decay phase over the past 24 hours, maintaining spot area and increasing in number of spots. This region continues to be classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group, but has only produced B-class flares since the last message including the largest event of the period (a B8.3 on 15-Apr-2016 at 09:25 UT). More B-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for low-to-mid C-class flares. The position of NOAA 12529 on 15-Apr-2016 at 14:00 UT is: N10W21, ( 335", 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, Solar activity continues at a low level. NOAA 12529 has undergone some decay, decreasing in both spot area and number of spots. NOAA 12529 remains the largest region on the disk but has only produced B-class flares over the past 24 hours, including the largest event since the last message (a B8.6 on 13-Apr-2016 at 07:35 UT). Further B-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with low-to-mid C-class flares possible. The position of NOAA 12529 on 13-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N09E05, ( -85", 243" ) 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 low. New region NOAA 12530 has been designated as a beta/C-type sunspot group and has been devoid of flaring activity. NOAA 12529 remains the largest region on the visible disk and has grown marginally in spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours. NOAA 12529 is still classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group and has continued to produce C-class activity, including the largest event since the last message (a C1.8 flare on 12-Apr-2016 at 07:40 UT). Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12529 on 12-Apr-2016 at 12:00 UT is: N09E21, ( -345", 239" ) 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 low level. NOAA 12529 remains the largest spotted region on the visible disk over the past 24 hours and has maintained spot area while increasing in spot number. This region has remained a beta/E-type sunspot group, and has continued to produce C-class activity, including the largest event since the last message (a C1.1 flare on 11-Apr-2016 at 01:34 UT). Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12529 on 11-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N09E33, ( -519", 230" ) 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.
