MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

MM#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Solar flare activity was extremely low in the past 24 hours. The visible solar disk remains spotless. Target plage NOAA 2641 has completed west limb passage but will continue to be the target for another 24 hours. 2641 is producing a few very minor limb surges. No significant solar events expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2641 on March 10 at 14:30 UT is: N15W90 (Solar X = 933", Solar Y = 252") 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 continues extremely low. The background x-ray flux is currently flat at the 5.7 level. The visible solar disk is spotless. The target plage is rotating over the northwestern limb. No significant solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2641 on March 09 at 14:30 UT is: N15W36 (Solar X = 930", Solar Y = 256") 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 remains extremely low. The visible solar disk is currently spotless again today. The most noteworthy plage is target NOAA 2641. No significant solar flare events expected in the next 24 hour hours. The position of NOAA 2641 on March 08 at 14:30 UT is: N15W72 (Solar X = 888", Solar Y = 284") 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 is extremely low. The current visible solar disk is spotless. The target region (NOAA 2641) is a spotless plage in decay phase. No significant solar flare events expected anytime soon. The position of NOAA 2641 on March 07 at 12:30 UT is: N15W55 (Solar X = 767", Solar Y = 317") 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, Target region NOAA 2641 is currently spotless. 2641 was the source of a B1.5 event at 03/06/12:03 UT. Another B-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2641 on March 06 at 08:30 UT is: N16W40 (Solar X = 600", Solar Y = 355") 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 extremely low. NOAA regions 12641 and 12642 have been reported as decaying to spotless plage over the past 24 hours, although 12641 appears to still show the presence of pores in satellite continuum images. 12641 was again the only region that produced flare activity since the last message (a B1.3 on 4-Mar-2017 at 22:55 UT). Low B-class flares may be possible over the following 24-hour period. The position of the plage region that was NOAA 12641 on 5-Mar-2017 at 20:30 UT is: N15W35, ( 541", 346" ) 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 an extremely low level. NOAA regions 12641 and 12642 continued in decay over the past 24 hours, decreasing further in spot area and number of spots. Both regions remain classified as beta/B-type sunspot groups, with 12641 again producing the only flare activity since the last message (two low B-class flares). More low B-class activity may be possible over the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12641 on 4-Mar-2017 at 17:00 UT is: N15W19, ( 311", 361" ) 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 extremely low. NOAA regions 12641 and 12642 have continued to decay over the past 24 hours, both decreasing in spot size while losing all penumbra on their leading and trailing spots. These two regions are now both classed as beta/B-type sunspot groups, with 12641 producing two B1.7 flares since the last message. Further low B-class flares may be possible in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12641 on 3-Mar-2017 at 20:00 UT is: N15W07, ( 114", 367" ) 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 an extremely low level. The leading spot pair of NOAA 12641 has now been designated as a separate region, NOAA 12642. NOAA 12641 has decreased in spot area over the past 24 hours while it has gained penumbra to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. The only flaring activity observed since the last message was a B1.2 on 2-Mar-2017 at 01:16 UT that originated from a small region that is rotating over the North East limb. Low B-class flares may be possible in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 12641 on 2-Mar-2017 at 22:00 UT is: N14E07, ( -113", 351" ) 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 12641 has grown in both spot area and number of spots over the previous 24 hours, maintaining a beta/C-type sunspot group classification. This region continued to be the source of B-class activity by producing 5 B-class events since the last message, including the largest flare of the period (a B2.8 on 1-Mar-2017 at 07:57 UT). More B-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12641 on 1-Mar-2017 at 21:30 UT is: N15E14, ( -230", 364" ) 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.
