MM#009 Default Target

MM#009 Default Target Dear Collaborators, Solar flare activity has been at an extremely low level since the minor A7.6 event on 11/18/08:03 UT. Target region NOAA 2727 has continued to decay and is now spotless as it nears west limb passage. The visible solar disk is also spotless. No significant solar flare activity is expected anytime soon. The position of NOAA 2727 on November 20 at 14:30 UT is: N01W80 (Solar X = 956", Solar Y = 010") 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, NOAA 2727 (B-type/beta) is rapidly decaying. 2727 was the source of two minor A-class events since the last message. The largest was an A7.6 at 11/18/08:03 UT. No significant solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 2727 on November 19 at 14:30 UT is: N01W66 (Solar X = 888", Solar Y = 000") 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 level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12727 began to decay again after the last message, decreasing in number of spots. 12727 is now classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but appears to have lost penumbra on one polarity. No flares have occurred since the last message, with no increase in flare activity expected over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 12727 on 18-Nov-2018 at 18:00 UT is: N01W52, ( 767", -8" ) 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 is at an extremely low level. NOAA 12727 began to decay after the last message, but has since grown in spot area within its trailing polarity. 12727 is now classified as a beta/B-type sunspot group, but renewed growth seems to have reinstated some penumbra (changing it to a C-type). No flares have occurred since the last message and there is no increase in activity expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12727 on 17-Nov-2018 at 16:00 UT is: N01W38, ( 598", -17" ) 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 level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12726 has completely decayed to plage since the last message. The target region has been numbered as NOAA 12727 and is classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. No flares have occurred since the last message and no increase in activity is expected over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 12727 on 16-Nov-2018 at 12:30 UT is: N01W24, ( 395", -25" ) 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 is at an extremely low level. NOAA region 12726 decayed further since the last message and has lost its leading spot. A small spotted region has emerged close to disk centre that appears to have a beta/B-type sunspot group classification. No flares have occurred since the last message and no increase in activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 15-Nov-2018 at 14:30 UT is: N02W12, ( 204", -13" ) 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 level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12726 has continued to decay, but has retained a small spot within its leading polarity. 12726 is now classified as an alpha/A-type sunspot group, with no flares having occurred since the last message. No increase in flaring activity is expected over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 12726 on 14-Nov-2018 at 12:30 UT is: N05W23, ( 378", 39" ) 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 target region has been numbered as NOAA 12726 since the last message and was initially confirmed to have a beta/B-type sunspot group class. However, NOAA 12726 has decayed significantly since the start of the UT day, appearing to have kept only its primary leading spot. No flares have occurred since the last message, with no increase in activity expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12726 on 13-Nov-2018 at 14:00 UT is: N06W09, ( 148", 51" ) 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. The visible solar disk was spotless until a new small spotted region emerged near disk centre over the past 24 hours. This region appears to have a beta/B-type sunspot group classification. There have been no flares since the last message and no increase in flare activity is expected in the following 24-hour period. The approximate position of this region on 12-Nov-2018 at 21:00 UT is: N06E01, ( -17", 49" ) 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 with the GOES soft X-ray flux flat at ~A2. The visible solar disk remains spotless. The target plage region continues to decay and is rotating to the west limb. No flaring activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target on November 11 at 14:00 UT is: N26W53 (670", 440") 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.
