MM#009 Default Target

31 Aug '20

MM#009 Default Target Dear Collaborators, The current solar disk remains spotless. The large decaying spotless plage (return of NOAA 2768) target region is mostly unchanged. No significant solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hours. The position of the target on August 31 at 14:00 UT is: N30E10 (Solar X = -144", Solar Y = 372") 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 from the extended plage region in the northeast quadrant continues at very low levels. The region continues to decay and fragment but shall remain the target region for the next 24 hours. Isolated low A-level events possible. The approximate position of the target region on 30-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N30E24, ( -342", 379" ) 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 the A-level, with a few sporadic flares from the southwest quadrant since the last message. The target shall continue to be the extensive plage region in the northeast quadrant. Slight chance for an isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 29-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N30E34, ( -464", 388" ) 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 have returned after the long duration A2.9 flare yesterday, which peaked at 12:54 UT and appeared to last for over 12 hours. The active region remnant in the northeast quadrant where the flare originated shall continue to be the target region with chance for an additional isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 8-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N28E36, ( -498", 360" ) 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, A long-duration, mid-A-level event from the decaying active region in the northeast quadrant is currently in progress. The region remains spotless and unnumbered but shall continue to be the target region. Chance of an additional isolated low-level event over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 27-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N28E48, ( -621", 373" ) 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 decaying, spotless active region in the northeast quadrant has remained quiescent, but shall continue to be the target region. Chance for some isolated A-level activity over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 26-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N25E76, ( -837", 373" ) 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 new region on the northeastern limb has rotated into view but has not resulted in any increased activity since the last message. Its magnetic configuration is uncertain at this time but it shall continue to be the target region, with no significant change in activity levels expected over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 25-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N30E88 = (-821", 467") 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 extremely low levels with the visible solar disk remaining spotless. STEREO-A images suggest that a small compact region could rotate over the northeast limb in the coming days. This potential region shall continue to be the target for the next 24 hours although no increase in activity is expected at this time. The approximate position of the target region on 24-Aug-2020 at 11:00 UT is: N30E89, ( -822", 470" ) 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 been at a very low level with the visible solar disk being spotless. Only an A1.9 flare was produced by NOAA 12772 that is rotating over the west limb. Yesterday's target region has been further decaying and has not produced any events since the last message. Today the target will switch to an east-limb region that will be rotating onto the visible disk. Only minor activities are possible in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target on August 23 at 10:00 UT is: N32E87 (-880", 480") 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 largest X-ray event since the last message was an A6.1 at 14:42 UT on August 22, produced by the unnumbered target region. A few lower level A-class events were also produced by NOAA 12772 that is rotating over the west limb. The target region appears to be decaying. Only minor activities are likely in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target on August 22 at 19:00 UT is: S31E30 (-390", -560") 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.
