MM#009 Default Target

MM#009 Default Target Dear Collaborators, Solar flare activity continues at a very low level. The spotless target plage (S06W22) is decaying slowly and quiescent. The target will switch to a recently emerged small plage. The new target is currently displaying a few tiny pores and moderately bright H-alpha. No significant change in solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hour period. The position of the target on December 31 at 13:45 UT is: N10E02 (Solar X = -034", Solar Y = 219") 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 target region close to disk center was the source of an ~A3 flare around 07:30 UT today. The underlying plage continues to become more diffuse, but the region has also developed a small filament channel along its magnetic neutral line. Slight chance of an additional isolated low level event over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 30-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S06W10, ( 161", -55" ) 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 remains at low levels. A faint CME was observed in coronagraph images on 28-Dec-2018, which may signal the presence of an active region beyond the eastern limb. The decaying plage region close to disk center has remained quiescent since the last message but shall be the target region for a further 24 hours. Slight chance of an isolated low-level event. The approximate position of the target region on 29-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S06E06, ( -95", -57" ) 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 target region in the southeast quadrant was the source of a low A-class flare since the last message. It also appears to have undergone some minor flux emergence and has developed a small sunspot in its leading portion. Slight chance of an additional isolated low level event as the region approaches the central meridian. The approximate position of the target region on 28-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S06E17, ( -293", -61" ) 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 remains unchanged. The decaying, bipolar plage region in the southeast quadrant shall continue to be the target region although no significant increase in activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 27-Dec-2018 at 08:30 UT is: S07E35, ( -552", -86" ) 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 very low levels. The unnumbered target region in the southeast quadrant has remained quiescent since the last message and shows signs of decay. No increase in activity levels expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 26-Dec-2018 14:30 UT is: S07E45, ( -686", -91" ) 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 active region remnant in the southeast quadrant remains spotless and unnumbered, but may have been the source of a CME visible in coronagraph images on 24-Dec-2018. X-ray flux remains at background levels, but the region shall remain the target with slight chance for an isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 25-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S07E60, ( -837", -100" ) 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 target region in the southeast quadrant has now rotated onto the visible disk but has not resulted in any increased activity. The region appears to be spotless but has extended mixed polarity plage. Slight chance of some low level activity from the central compact loop system over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 24-Dec-2018 at 08:30 UT is: S06E80, ( -956", -96" ) 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 remains unchanged since the last message. The coronal loop system now visible on the southeast limb has remained quiescent since rotating into view, but shall continue to be the target region for the next 24 hours. Slight chance of an isolated low-level event. The approximate position of the target region on 23-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S06E90, ( -970", -102" ) 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 X-ray flux continues at background levels. NOAA 12731 has continued to decay as it approaches the western limb. The looptops of a new region are currently visible beyond the eastern limb in EUV and X-ray images, as well as in STEREO Ahead data. This shall be the new target region, with a slight chance of isolated low-level activity as the region rotates on to the visible disk. The position of the target region on 22-Dec-2018 at 14:30 UT is: S06E90, (-970", -102") 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.
