MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity remains unchanged since the last message, with X-ray flux still below the B1 level. NOAA 12685 has all but decayed, and the remaining plage shall be the target region for a further 24 hours. No increase in activity expected at this time. The position of NOAA 12685 on 31-Oct-2017 at 14:30 UT is: S09W58, ( 811", -190" ) 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 X-ray flux remains constant below the B1 level. There has been no activity since the last message. Both active regions retain their alpha configuration and NOAA 12685 shall continue to be the target region. No increase in activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12685 on 30-Oct-2017 at 12:30 UT is: S09W41, ( 627", -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 remains at very low levels. The two alpha regions on the visible disk have areas of just 10uh each. NOAA 12685 shall continue to be the target region although no change in activity is expected at this time. The position of NOAA 12685 on 29-Oct-2017 at 08:30 UT is: S08W27, ( 435", -203" ) 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, Quiet-sun conditions continue. X-ray flux has dropped below the B1 level again. The target region NOAA 12685 continues to decay but the associated filament channel remains visible in H-alpha images. No significant increase in activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12685 on 28-Oct-2017 at 11:30 UT is: S09W16, ( 263", -227" ) 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 very low levels. The only registered flare since the last message was a B1.8 flare from NOAA 12686 at 00:36 UT today. NOAA 12685 has remained quiescent and continues to decay as it crosses the central meridian. It shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours although no increase in activity is expected at this time. The position of NOAA 12685 on 27-Oct-2017 at 07:30 UT is: S09W00, ( 0", -231" ) 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 very low levels. The target region NOAA 12685 was the source of a B2 flare around 00:00 UT today. The region maintains its alpha/H-type configuration, and is partly encompassed by a long filament channel. Only isolated low-level events possible over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12685 on 26-Oct-2017 at 11:30 UT is: S09E10, ( -166", -231" ) 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 X-ray flux has remained below the B1 level since the last message. NOAA 12685 remains quiescent and unchanged but shall continue to be the target region. No increase in activity expected over the next 24 hours.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity has returned to low levels. NOAA 12685 retains its compact alpha/H-type classification, and has remained quiescent since producing the M1 flare two days ago. The only flare of note was a B2.2 event at 12:08 UT yesterday. We are ending the Major flare Watch campaign at this time, with only low-level events expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12685 on 23-Oct-2017 at 11:30 UT is: S09E51, ( -741", -204" ) 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. The target region has been designated as NOAA 12685. This region has a surprisingly simple magnetic configuration, classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group. NOAA 12685 has produced no flaring activity since the M1.1 event on 20-Oct-2017 at 23:10 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain in place for the following 24 hours. C-class flares are probable with a chance for another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 12685 on 22-Oct-2017 at 18:30 UT is: S11E64, ( -850", -222" ) 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.
