MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar activity continues at very low levels. There was a B1.5 flare at 15:52 UT yesterday that appeared to originate in a small sunspot group rotating onto the eastern limb. While its magnetic configuration is uncertain at present, this shall be the new target region. Slight chance of an additional isolated low-level event in the next 24 hours. The position of the target region on 21-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N06E79, ( -940", 123" ) 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 solar disk has now remained spotless for fourteen consecutive days, with no foreseeable increase in solar activity. The target shall continue to be the filament channel located in the northwest quadrant in H-alpha images. The approximate position of the target filament on 20-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N20W51, (706", 398" ) N20W51 = (706", 398")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 visible solar hemisphere remains spotless, with X-ray flux at background levels. The long filament channel in the northwest quadrant remains stable and shall continue to be the target region. No increase in activity expected. The approximate position of the target filament on 19-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N20W38, ( 554", 416" ) 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 at background levels, with the disk remaining spotless. The filament in the northwest quadrant appears stable, and shall remain the target for a further 24 hours. No significant activity expected. The position of the target filament on 18-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N20W24, ( 371", 431" ) 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 small active region that appeared on the eastern limb two days ago has almost completely decayed. A large filament channel is now visible in the northwest quadrant in H-alpha and EUV images. This shall be the new target region, although no significant increase in activity is expected at this time. The approximate position of the target filament on 17-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: N20W11, ( 171", 439" ) 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 minimum conditions continue. The visible solar hemisphere remains spotless, while the filament in the southwest quadrant remains unchanged. There appears to be a small active region rotating onto the eastern limb, which shall be the new target region. The region lies at the southern end of a trans-equatorial loop system and may bring with it some low-level activity over the next few days. The approximate position of the target region on 15-Mar-2017 at 14:30 UT is: S09E88, ( -952", -145" ) 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 visible solar disk remains spotless, with X-ray flux at background levels. The target filament has almost doubled in length since the last message and may produce an isolated low-level flare if it erupts. The approximate position of the target filament on 14-Mar-2017 at 14:30 UT is: S04W14, (228", 50") 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, Quiescent solar conditions continue with the visible solar hemisphere remaining spotless. The small filament approaching disk center shall remain the target for a further 24 hours, although no increase in activity is expected at this time. The position of filament on 13-Mar-2017 at 08:30 UT is: S04E03 = (-55", 54") 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, Solar flare activity was extremely low in the past 24 hours. The visible solar disk is spotless and is displaying only plage remnants. The target filament continues in a mild active phase. No significant solar activity expected anytime soon. The position of filament target on March 12 at 07:45 UT is: S04E17 (Solar X = -283", Solar Y = 049") 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, Solar flare activity was extremely low in the past 24 hours. The visible solar disk is spotless and is displaying only a a couple of plage remnants. Spotless plage target NOAA 2641 is now located well beyond the west limb. The target will switch to a filament that has become slightly activated. No significant solar flare activity expected anytime soon. The position of the filament target on March 11 at 08:15 UT is: S04E33 (Solar X = -527", Solar Y = 035") 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.
