MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a background level with the visible disk remaining spotless. The target plage region NOAA 12728 remains steady and is now near the west limb. We will watch this region for a further 24 hours. No significant activities are expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 12728 on November 30 at 14:30 UT is: N06W84 (962", 99") 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 Collaborators, The GOES soft X-ray flux has been flat at a background level since the last message. The visible solar disk remains spotless. Target plage region NOAA 12728 decayed further and is rotating to the west limb. Quiet Sun conditions should continue in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12728 on November 29 at 14:30 UT is: N06W71 (915", 95") 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 Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a very low level. The visible solar disk remains spotless. The target plage region NOAA 12728 only produced several A-class flares in the past 24 hours. No noteworthy activities are expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 12728 on November 28 at 14:30 UT is: N06W56 (803", 90") 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 Collaborators, The GOES soft X-ray flux is at A-level. The target region NOAA 12728 has decayed to a plage region, and the visible disk is spotless again. 12728 only shows some EUV jets. No significant activities are expected in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12728 on November 27 at 14:30 UT is: N06W41 (636", 84") 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 Collaborators, Solar flare activity continues at a very low level with the GOES soft X-ray flux at a background level. Target region NOAA 12728, the only spotted region on the visible disk, remains steady without flares occurring in the past 24 hours. Only very minor activities are likely in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 12728 on November 26 at 14:30 UT is: N06W26 (425", 79") 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 Target Dear Collaborators, Solar flare activity has returned to a very low level. Target region NOAA 2728 (B-type/beta) is decaying within its leader polarity sunspots. Minor A-class events are possible with only a slight chance of an isolated B-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2728 on November 25 at 13:30 UT is: N06W09 (Solar X = 152", Solar Y = 075") 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 Target Dear Collaborators, The southern polar zone target filament slowly disappeared in the past 24 hour period. The new target will be NOAA 2728 (B-type/beta sunspot group). 2728 is an EFR located near center sun. The EFR was the source of 6 minor A-class events and a B1.1 event at 11/24/02:13 UT. 2728 developed rapidly but now appears to have stabilized. Another B-class event is possible in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2728 on November 24 at 13:45 UT is: N06E04 (Solar X = -068", Solar Y = 073") 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 Target Dear Collaborators, Deep solar minimum conditions continue. The visible solar disk is spotless and plageless. Most of the eastern portion of the target filament located in the southern polar zone disappeared during the past 24 hour period. Portions of the filament may continue to disappear in the next 24 hours. The position of the center of the filament on Nov. 23 at 08:30 UT is: S48W30 (Solar X = 326", Solar Y = -742") 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 Target Dear Collaborators, The level of solar flare activity continues extremely low. The visible solar disk is currently spotless. NOAA 2727 has rotated well beyond the west limb. The target will switch to a filament located in the southern polar zone. The center of the 40 degree long filament is currently showing an active phase. The activation may continue until this portion of the filament disappears. The position of the target filament on November 22 at 07:45 UT is: S50W20 (Solar X = 214", Solar Y = -766") 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 Target Dear Collaborators, Solar flare activity continues at an extremely low level. The visible solar disk is currently spotless. Target region 2727 has completed west limb passage but will remain the target location at the west limb. No significant solar flare activity expected anytime soon. The position of NOAA 2727 on November 21 at 14:30 UT is: N01W91 (Solar X = 970", Solar Y = 017") 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.
