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

31 Mar '17

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at the B-level, with NOAA 12644 and NOAA 12645 remaining productive. However, while NOAA 12644 has remained relatively stable over the past few days, NOAA 12645 has remained dynamic and continues to grow in size, and shall therefore be the new target region. Renewed flux emergence implies further B-level activity over the next 24 hours, with chance for an isolated C-class flare. The position of NOAA 12645 on 31-Mar-2017 at 07:30 UT is: S10E12, ( -197", -59" ) 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 the B-level, with the largest event since the last message being a B6.5 flare from the target region NOAA 12644 at 23:19 UT yesterday. Both the target region and NOAA 12645 are now classified as beta regions, although NOAA 12645 still appears to be undergoing dynamic flux emergence. Further B-level activity likely from both regions. The position of NOAA 12644 on 30-Mar-2017 at 07:30 UT is: N12W13, ( 212", 305" ) 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 remained at the B-level over the past 24 hours, with events emanating primarily from NOAA 12645 and NOAA 12646, an alpha region approaching the western limb. NOAA 12644 has lost some complexity as it crosses the central meridian and is now classified as a beta region. NOAA 12644 shall remain the target region, with B-level activity expected from both it and NOAA 12645. The position of NOAA 12644 on 29-Mar-2017 at 07:30 UT is: N12W00, ( 0", 308" ) 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 significantly since the last message, with B- and C-class flares emanating from both NOAA 12644 and NOAA 12645. The largest event was a C5.1 flare from NOAA 12645 at 17:55 UT yesterday. Both regions have a beta-gamma configuration, although NOAA 12645 continues to undergo flux emergence. NOAA 12644 shall continue to be the target region but keep NOAA 12645 in your field of view as well if possible. Further C-level activity likely from both regions. The position of NOAA 12644 on 28-Mar-2017 at 07:30 UT is: N13E13, ( -211", 322" ) 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 target region in the northeast quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 12644, and is classified as a beta/D-type region. The region has produced several B-class flares since the last message, as well as a C1 flare around 00:00 UT today. Note that the C3.2 flare currently in progress (11:07 UT) is from another newly emerging region towards the southeast. NOAA 12644 shall continue to be the target region with further B- and C-level activity likely. The position of NOAA 12644 on 27-Mar-2017 at 07:30 UT is: N12E26, ( -413", 299" ) 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, NOAA 12643 has remained quiescent since the last message. In the meantime, a new beta region has emerged to the east. The currently unnumbered region has produced several B-class flares, including a B4.0 at 02:29 UT today, and shall be the new target region. Further B-level activity possible. The position of the target region on 26-Mar-2017 at 07:30 is: N13E41, ( -619", 299" ) 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. NOAA 12643 has remained quiescent and appears to be in decay. It shall continue to be the target region although no significant activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12643 on 25-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N08E24, ( -388", 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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at low levels, with the target region NOAA 12643 remaining unchanged. The region maintains its alpha configuration and a small filament channel along its neutral line. Slight chance of an isolated low level event over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12643 on 24-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N08E37, ( -575", 225" ) 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 target region NOAA 12643 was the source of a B3.3 flare at 18:21 UT yesterday. The region has a simple alpha spot configuration and has not changed considerably since the last message. Chance for another isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12643 on 22-Mar-2017 at 20:30 UT is: N09E60, ( -824", 207" ) 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 active region on the eastern limb that was the source of the B1.5 flare on 20 March has now been designated as NOAA 12643. The region appears to have a bipolar configuration, as well as a small filament extending to the south. Chance remains for an additional isolated low level event over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12643 on 22-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N09E67, ( -876", 194" ) 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.
