MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Jul '16

31 Jul '16

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues to be very low. NOAA 12570 has remained the only spotted region on disk, but has decayed in spot number and area over the past 24 hours and has produced no flares. NOAA 12570 also maintained a beta/B-type sunspot group designation, but appears to now have an alpha/A-type classification. B-class flares are possible over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12570 on 31-Jul-2016 at 16:00 UT is: N11E31, ( -482", 100" ) 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 very low. NOAA 12570 continues to be the only spotted region on disk, and has maintained both spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours. This region has also remained classified as a beta/B-type sunspot group while not producing any flares since the last message. B-class activity is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 12570 on 30-Jul-2016 at 21:30 UT is: N10E40, ( -601", 93" ) 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 very low level. Yesterday's target region has been designated as NOAA 12570 and classified as a beta/B-type sunspot group. There have been no flares since the last message. Low-to-mid B-class flares are possible in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12570 on 29-Jul-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N11E54, ( -751", 126" ) 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 very low. Yesterday's target region has continued as an unnumbered plage field region and was the source of the only flare since the last message (a B1.1 on 28-Jul-2016 at 13:44 UT). However, over the past 24 hours a new region with spots has rotated over the North East limb and currently displays a beta magnetic classification. B-class flares are possible over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 28-Jul-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N10E70, ( -874", 132" ) 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 continued at a low level. Yesterday’s target region in the South East quadrant remained as an unnumbered plage field, but some small pores may be developing in the negative polarity portion. B-class flares are possible over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 27-Jul-2016 at 21:00 UT is: S17E45, ( -644", -337" ) 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 12567 has rotated completely beyond the North West limb. A region of magnetic flux is located in the South East quadrant, but is likely to be plage field as there do not appear to be any spots associated with it. B-class flares are likely over the following 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 26-Jul-2016 at 16:00 UT is: S17E64, ( -816", -312" ) 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 returning to a low level. NOAA 12567 has rotated up to the North West limb. This region was last reported as having maintained a beta/D-type sunspot group classification, but this is impossible to verify given its location at/over the limb. 12567 has continued to produce activity since the last message, albeit at a reduced magnitude and frequency, including the largest flare of the period (a C1.8 on 25-Jul-2016 at 08:59 UT). More C-class flares are possible over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare as the high-lying loops of NOAA 12567 rotate beyond the limb. The position of NOAA 12567 on 25-Jul-2016 at 11:00 UT is: N05W90, ( 941", 82" ) 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 moderate level. The target region NOAA 12567 produced two low M-class flares, M2.0 at 06:09 UT and M1.9 at 17:30 UT on July 24. 12567 was also the source of numerous C- and B-class events. It is retaining its beta/D-type sunspot group as rotating over the west limb. Occulted C-class flares are expected, with a slight chance of low M-class activity over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12567 on July 24 at 17:20 UT is: N05W90 (940", 81") 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 was at a high level in the past 24 hours. The target region NOAA 12567 (very close to NOAA 12565, N04W84) produced three major flares, M5.0 at 01:46 UT, M7.6 at 05:00 UT, and M5.5 at 05:27 UT on July 23, with the largest one associated with a non- Earth-directed CME. At this point, we are not implementing a Major Flare Watch because NOAA 12567 seems to simplify its magnetic complexity after producing those three major flares. 12567 has a beta/D-type sunspot group now decreasing in sunspot area (330 uh, i.e., less than 500 uh). It is rotating over the west limb, but still has the potential to produce (low) M-class events in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12567 on July 23 at 14:20 UT is: N06W75 (907", 76") 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. The largest event since the last message was a C6.6 at 06:58 UT on July 22 produced by the target region NOAA 12567. 12567 was also the source of a few high B-class events. 12567 was re-classified as a beta-gamma/ D-type sunspot group but decreasing in spot area and number of spots. It is rotating onto the west limb. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 12567 on July 22 at 17:20 UT is: N05W62 (832", 43") 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.
