MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Jun '22

30 Jun '22

Dear Collaborators, The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13040 has continued to decay since the last message, but an increase in primary sunspot separation means that it has been reclassified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13040 produced no flares since the last message. However, a new spot region that is rotating over the North East limb has produced two B-class flares and a C1.4 on 29-Jun-2022 at 23:00 UT, the largest flare of the period. B-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a good chance for additional C-class flares. The approximate position of this region on 30-Jun-2022 at 18:00 UT is: N16E85 , ( -904", 256" ) 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 is very low. The target region NOAA 13040 has decayed slightly since the last message but continues to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was once again the most active of the spotted regions on the disk by producing five B-class flares since the last message, including the largest in the period (a B6.6 on 29-Jun-2022 at 02:14 UT). Further B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13040 on 29-Jun-2022 at 19:30 UT is: S12W36 , ( 541", -232" ) 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 is at a low level. The target region NOAA 13040 has increased slightly in spot area since the last message and remains classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was again the source of B-class flares since the last message, including the largest event in the period (a B7.0 on 28-Jun-2022 at 07:47 UT). Additional B-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a small chance for an isolated C-class flare. The position of NOAA 13040 on 28-Jun-2022 at 12:30 UT is: S13W18 , ( 284", -252" ) 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 is low. Target region NOAA 13040 has been relatively stable in terms of spot area and number of spots since the last message, and remains classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region continued to produce multiple B-class flares since the last message as well as a recent C1.4 flare on 27-Jun-2022 at 18:24 UT that is the largest event in the period. Further B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for additional C-class flares. The position of NOAA 13040 on 27-June-2022 at 20:00 UT is: S14W09 , ( 144", -268" ) 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. NOAA 13038 has remained quiescent as it approaches the western limb. NOAA 13040 in the southeast quadrant has produced some low C-class flares since the last message and shall be the new target region. The region appears to be in decay but has undergone some resurgence. Further isolated low level events possible. The position of NOAA 13040 on 26-Jun-2022 at 15:30 UT is: S12E07, ( -112", -234" ) 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 has dropped below the C-level with B-level events from NOAA 13038 and NOAA 13035 on the northwestern and southwestern limbs, respectively, since the last message. NOAA 13038 remains the dominant active region on the visible solar disk and shall continue as the default target region. Only low level activity expected before the region transits the western limb. The position of NOAA 13038 on 25-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N16W68, ( 842", 247" ) 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 low levels. NOAA 13038 has produced a few low C-class flares since the last message, and has been downgraded to a simple beta region. It shall continue as the target region for a further 24 hours, although only isolated low-level events are expected at this time. The position of NOAA 13038 on 24-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N16W54, ( 735", 240" ) 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 diminished since the last message, apart from an occulted long-duration mid C-flare from NOAA 13031, which is now behind the southwest limb. NOAA 13038 in the northwest quadrant has remained quiescent but retains its beta-gamma configuration. NOAA 13038 shall continue as the target region with a chance of some additional isolated C-class flares. The position of NOAA 13038 on 23-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N15W41, ( 599", 220" ) 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 intermediate levels. The largest event since the last message was an occulted mid C-class flare from NOAA 13031, which is now behind the southwest limb. NOAA 13038 has continued to develop and now has an area of ~500 uH, and retains its beta-gamma configuration. NOAA 13038 shall continue as the target region with further C-level activity likely. The position of NOAA 13038 on 22-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N14W28, ( 431", 202" ) 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 intermediate levels. The largest flare since the last message was a C5.6 flare at 16:01 UT today from NOAA 13031 on the southwest limb. NOAA 13030 and NOAA 13038 have also produced multiple low C-class flares and NOAA 13038 retains its beta-gamma configuration. NOAA 13038 shall remain the target region as it continues to develop. Further C-level activity likely with chance for an isolated low M-flare. The position of NOAA 13038 on 21-Jun-2022 at 15:30 UT is: N15W16, ( 252", 217" ) 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.
