MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is very low. The background x-ray
flux is currently at the A8.6 level. The largest event
since the last message was a B9.6 at 06/20/03:00 UT
produced by recently emerged target region NOAA 2558.
2558 has significantly decayed in the past 24 hours.
Only a slight chance of minor B-class activity is expected
in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2558 on June 20 at 14:20 UT is:
N13W45 (Solar X = 652", Solar …

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 12555 is now behind the western limb and has been quiescent over
the past 24 hours. A newly emerged unnumbered region in the northwest
quadrant was the source of a C1.7 flare at 11:44 UT today and shall be
the new target region. The region appears to be small and compact with
some mixed polarity in its core. Chance for further low level activity
over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 19-Jun-2016 at 17:20 UT is:
N11W33, ( 508", …

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. NOAA 12555 continues to produce
multiple B-level events as it nears the western limb. Its magnetic
configuration is uncertain at this time but the region appears to be
in decay. Further low level activity expected until the region
transits the western limb.
The position of NOAA 12555 on 18-Jun-2016 at 14:20 UT is:
S09W79, ( 915",-152" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at the B-level since the last message. The
target region is now designated as NOAA 12555, and appears to be
decaying as it approaches the southwest limb while retaining its beta
configuration. Further B-level activity likely with chance for an
isolated low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12555 on 17-Jun-2016 at 15:43 UT is:
S09W66, ( 853", -156" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has begun to increase due to the rapid emergence of a
new beta region in the southwest quadrant. It has produced several
B-class flares over the past 12 hours, including a B8.8 flare at 13:17
UT today. As NOAA 12554 is now over the western limb, this unnumbered
region shall be the new target. Good chance for continued low level
activity, including chance for some C-level events if the region
continues to develop.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. The only event of note since
the last message was a B4.2 flare from NOAA 12554 at 13:00 UT today.
NOAA 12554 has shown signs of decay in its trailing portion as it
approaches the western limb but it shall be the new target region for
the next 24 hours. Isolated low-level events possible before west limb
passage.
The position of NOAA 12554 on 15-Jun-2016 at 05:45 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 12552 has now rotated over the western limb, although its
looptops are still visible in SDO/AIA images. As the remaining active
regions on the visible solar disk have been predominantly quiescent
since the last message, NOAA 12552 shall remain the target region for
a further 24 hours. Also include NOAA 12554 in your field of view if
possible as it has produced some B-level activity in the past few
days. Slight chance of an isolated low level event from the …

limb.
The approximate position of NOAA 12552 on 14-Jun-2016 at 05:45 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 12552 has continued producing B-level activity as it approaches
the western limb, along with a C3.0 flare at 05:33 UT today. The
region's magnetic configuration is unclear from this angle but it
shall remain the target region for an additional 24 hours as it
transits the western limb. Further low-to-intermediate level activity
possible.
The position of NOAA 12552 on 13-Jun-2016 at 08:31 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 12552 was the source of a C6.5 flare at 21:59
UT yesterday. The region has begun to decay as it approaches the
western limb, and appears to have lost some of its complexity. NOAA
12552 shall remain the target region for the next 24 hours. Sustained
B-level activity expected with chance for an isolated low C-class
flare before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 12552 on 12-Jun-2016 at 11:31 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at the B-level, with most activity coming
from NOAA 12552. The new region on the eastern limb has been
designated as NOAA 12553 but has remained quiescent. NOAA 12552
retains its beta-delta configuration and shall remain the target
region. Further low-level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 12552 on 11-Jun-2016 at 14:31 UT is:
N14W71, ( 867", 225" )
