MM#009 Default HESSI Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity is extremely low. NOAA 12718 decayed to plage, while yesterday's target has now been numbered as NOAA 12719. This region has been designated as a beta/B-type sunspot group, but appears to have now developed a rudimentary penumbra. No significant flares have occurred since the last message and no increase in flare activity is expected in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12719 on 20-Aug-2018 at 20:00 UT is: S06E32, ( -500", -195" ) 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 12718 continued to decay since yesterday's message and is designated as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. A new region with small spots has emerged in the South East quadrant, but no significant flares have occurred since the last message. This new region will become the target. No increase in flare activity is expected in the next 24-hour period. The approximate position of this region on 19-Aug-2018 at 21:30 UT is: S06E45, ( -669", -178" ) 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 12718 remains the only spotted region on the visible disk. This region has continued to decay and is now designated as an alpha/H-type sunspot group. No significant flares occurred since the last message and no increase in activity is expected in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12718 on 18-Aug-2018 at 23:00 UT is: S07W03, ( 45", -227" ) 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 is at an extremely low level. Target region NOAA 2718 is significantly decaying especially within its trailing portion and was quiescent during the past 24 hour period. There is only a slight chance of a minor event in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2718 on August 17 at 12:40 UT is: S08E19 (Solar X =-306", Solar Y = -235") 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 was very low since the last message. Target region NOAA 2718 was the source of an A8.9 event at 08/16/09:18 UT. 2718 has decayed within its trailing portion. Another minor event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2718 on August 16 at 18:00 UT is: S07E28 (Solar X = -443", Solar Y = -213") 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 is very low. The most recent reportable event was an A9.3 at 08/14/12:43 UT produced by target region 2718. 2718 is mostly unchanged maintaining a small B-type/beta sunspot group. A B-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2718 on August 15 at 16:00 UT is: S07E43 (Solar X = -643", Solar Y = -195") 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 large filament mentioned yesterday that was located within and north of the target plage slowly disappeared during the past 24 hours. The spotless target plage was quiescent. We will switch to a small region (NOAA 2718) that developed spots after the message yesterday. NOAA 2718 has bright H-alpha plage and a B-type/beta sunspot group. B-class activity is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2718 on August 14 at 15:00 UT is: S08E57 (Solar X = -789", Solar Y = -190") 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 at an extremely low level. The visible solar disk is spotless. The decaying plage target is stable. The region has a large filament located along the main magnetic inversion line and extending north of the region. The northern portion of the filament appears to be less stable and could become active and erupt or slowly disappear in the next 24 hour period. The position of the target on August 13 at 07:00 UT is: N04W40 (Solar X = 610", 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.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators, The level of solar activity remains extremely low with the GOES soft X-ray flux continuing at a background level. The target plage region appears stable with no significant change since the last message. No noteworthy flare activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 12-Aug-2018 at 19:30 UT is: N05W30, ( 473", -11" ) 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 visible solar disk continues to be spotless with solar activity at an extremely low level. The target plage region remains relatively unchanged and quiescent since the last message. No noteworthy flare activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of this region on 11-Aug-2018 at 17:00 UT is: N05W16, ( 261", -20" ) 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.
