MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Dear Collaborators, A-level activity has continued since the last message. The source of the activity continues to be the target region in the northeast quadrant. The region has a beta configuration with pronounced sunspots but is as-yet unnumbered. It shall remain the target region with further low-level activity possible over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 31-Mar-2020 at 13:30 UT is: N28E61, ( -741", 496" ) 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 has increased slightly since the last message due to the appearance of a new active region on the northeast limb. The region has produced several A-class flares and appears to have a bipolar configuration based on magnetogram images. This shall be the new target region with further low-level activity possible over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 30-Mar-2020 at 07:30 UT is: N28E82, ( -840", 461" ) 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 target region in the northeast quadrant persists but has remained quiescent. The underlying pore has decayed but the region remains bright in EUV images. No significant change in activity expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 29-Mar-2020 at 07:30 UT is: N22E25, ( -384", 452" ) 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, Quiet-Sun conditions continue. A new bipolar EFR with a small pore has appeared in the northeast quadrant. This shall be the new target region although no change in activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 28-Mar-2020 at 14:30 UT is: N22E34, ( -506", 445" ) 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 visible solar disk remains featureless and quiescent. There shall be no default target region again today, with no change in activity levels expected over the next 24 hours.

26 Mar '20

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity levels remain unchanged since the last message. Yesterday's target region has now decayed completely leaving the visible solar disk devoid of any viable target. There shall be no default target region today, with solar activity expected to remain extremely low over the next 24 hours.

Dear Collaborators, Solar minimum conditions continue. Yesterday's low-latitude target region persists, but remains spotless and quiescent. It shall continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours although no change in activity is expected at this time. The approximate position of the target region on 25-Mar-2020 at 08:30 UT is: N08W49, ( 722", 208" ) 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 background levels. Yesterday's target region has decayed completely, but a new bipolar region is currently emerging at low latitudes that shall be the new target region. Low probability of any increase in activity over the next 24 hours. The position of the target region on 24-Mar-2020 at 14:30 UT is: N08W39, ( 596", 223" ) 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 extremely low levels. Since the last message, a small emerging flux region has appeared at high latitudes but may already be beginning to decay. The region is spotless and unnumbered but shall be the new target region for the next 24 hours. No change in activity expected at this time. The approximate position of the target region on 23-Mar-2020 at 08:30 UT is: N26W21, ( 304", 518" ) 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 continues to be extremely low. The target in the North East quadrant decayed further and has now merged into the quiet Sun. The target becomes a new moderately dynamic prominence on the North West limb. No X-ray flares have occurred since the last message, and no change is expected in flaring activity in the next 24-hour period. The approximate position of this region on 22-Mar-2020 at 17:00 UT is: N40W90 , ( 737", 614" ) 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.
