MM#009 Default HESSI Target

MM#009 Default HESSI Target Dear RHESSI Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2699 continues in growth phase adding sunspot count and area within its intermediate and trailing portions of its D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. 2699 was the source of four B-class events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a B7.4 at 02/08/16:59 UT. B-class events expected, a C-class event is possible, with a slight chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2699 on February 08 at 15:30 UT is: S07E31 (Solar X = -499", Solar Y = -024") 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 2699 has continued in growth phase adding sunspot count and area and a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 2699 produced three C-class events since the last message. The largest was a C8.1 at 02/07/13:47 UT. B- and C-class activity probable with a chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2699 on February 07 at 15:30 UT is: S07E44 (Solar X = -673", Solar Y = -040") 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 2699 increased sunspot count and area within its trailing portion. Its D-type/beta sunspot group has some very weak (non-spot) mixed polarities. 2699 was the source of numerous B-class events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a long-duration B5.6 at 02/06/14:26 UT. B-class events probable with a C-class event possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2699 on February 06 at 15:30 UT is: S07E57 (Solar X = -812", Solar Y = -060") 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, The target region, now numbered NOAA 2699, was the source of countless minor x-ray events and numerous bright surges and sprays since the last message. The largest events were a C1.1 at 02/04/20:24 UT and a B8.1 at 02/05/18:24 UT. 2699 is currently displaying a C-type/beta sunspot group. Additional B-class events probable with another C-class event possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2699 on February 05 at 15:30 UT is: S07E70 (Solar X = -909", Solar Y = -082") 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 remains very low. Yesterday’s target NOAA 12698 has now decayed to spotless plage. A new spotted region is currently rotating over the East limb and was the source of the largest magnitude flare since the last message (a B1.1 on 03-Feb-2018 at 16:04 UT). Further B-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 04-Feb-2018 at 14:00 UT is: S07E90, ( -965", -118" ) 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 flare activity continues at an extremely low level. Yesterday’s target region has now been designated as NOAA 12698 with an alpha/A-type configuration but appears to be in decay. No flare events have occurred since the last message. No increase in flare activity expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12698 on 03-Feb-2018 at 13:30 UT is: S03E70, ( -914", -15" ) 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 flare activity continues to be at a very low level. Yesterday's target NOAA 12697 has now decayed to a plage region. A new small spotted region is currently rotating over the East limb and will become the new target. This new region produced the only flare since the last message, an A7.3 on 01-Feb-2018 at 17:56 UT. Low B-class activity is possible in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 02-Feb-2018 at 13:00 UT is: S01E89, ( -973", -15" ) 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 an extremely low level. NOAA 12697 has continued to decay over the past 24 hours and is now designated as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. No reportable flare events have occurred since the last message. There is no expected increase in flaring activity over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12697 on 01-Feb-2018 at 13:30 UT is: S09E26, ( -424", -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.
