MM#009 Default HESSI Target

MM#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 2597 continues to decay as it rotates over the southwestern limb. The visible solar disk is currently almost spotless - there is a tiny plage with a sunspot pore located at S02E63. No significant flare events expected anytime soon. The position of NOAA 2597 on September 30 at 10:30 UT is: S14W86 (Solar X = 927", Solar Y = -237") 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 Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 2597 was again the source of B-class events in the past 24 hour period. The largest was a B7.5 event at 09/28/17:07 UT. 2597 is now decaying especially within its trailing portion. B-class events possible with a slight chance of an isolated C-class event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2597 on September 29 at 10:30 UT is: S14W72 (Solar X =884", Solar Y = -264") 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 Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 2597 is mostly unchanged. The region produced a few minor B-class events in the past 24 hours. B-class events probable with the chance of a C-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2597 on September 28 at 10:30 UT is: S14W58 (Solar X = 789", Solar Y = -289") 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 Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 2597 was again the source of several B-class events and a C1.0 event at 09/27/07:48 UT. 2597 has decayed somewhat within its intermediate portion but increased its penumbral area in the main leading and trailing sunspots. B-class events probable with another C-class event possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2597 on September 27 at 10:30 UT is: S14W46 (Solar X = 669", Solar Y = -307") 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 Dear RHESSI Collaborators, NOAA 2597 continues in growth phase adding both sunspot area and count and is displaying some mixed polarity within its intermediate and trailing portion. 2597 was the source of a few minor events since the last message. The largest was a C1.3 at 09/25/19:14 UT. B-class events probable with the chance of another C-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2597 on September 26 at 10:30 UT is: S13W31 (Solar X = 481", Solar Y = -310") 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 12597 has grown in spot number and area, and magnetic complexity over the past 24 hours. This region is now classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group and has continued to produce B-class activity since the last message. Further B-class activity is expected in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12597 on 25-Sep-2016 at 16:00 UT is: S13W22, ( 348", -319" ) 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 at a very low level. NOAA 12593 has simplified in magnetic complexity as it rotates up to the West limb. NOAA 12597 was numbered in the past 24 hours and is classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was the source of a few B-class flares in the past 24 hours. Further B-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12597 on 24-Sep-2016 at 18:30 UT is: S13W10, ( 166", -326" ) 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 has decreased again to very low. NOAA 12595 has now completely rotated out of view over the West limb. NOAA 12593 was classified at the beginning of the UT-day as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but now appears to have some polarity mixing (i.e., beta-gamma) in its trailing portion. B-class flares are probable over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12593 on 23-Sep-2016 at 22:00 UT is: N08W57, ( 798", 70" ) 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 increased since the last message with several C-class flares - including a C5.6 flare at 05:40 UT today - emanating from the target region NOAA 12595. The target region is now beyond the western limb but its looptops remain visible in EUV images. NOAA 12595 shall remain the target region for an additional 24 hours with chance for another C-level event. The position of NOAA 12595 on 22-Sep-2016 at 10:30 UT is: N08W91, ( 946", 134" ) 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.
