MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 13068 in the southeast quadrant has remained quiescent since the last message and has continued to decay. It shall continue as the target region for a further 24 hours although no significant change in activity is expected at this time. The position of NOAA 13068 on 31-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: S15E23, ( -357", -328" ) 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 NOAA 13068 has continued at the low B-level since the last message. The region retains its beta/D-type configuration but now appears to be in decay. NOAA 13068 shall continue as the target region for a further 24 hours with only isolated low-level events likely. The position of NOAA 13068 on 30-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: S15E38, ( -563", -315" ) 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 target region in the southeast quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 13068 and was the source of several B-class flares since the last message, as well as a C4.2 flare at 04:29 UT today. The region is classified as having a beta/D-type configuration and continues to show signs of flux emergence, particularly around the leader spot. NOAA 13068 shall continue as the target region with further B- and C-level activity likely over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13068 on 29-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: S16E51, ( -707", -315" ) 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 continued at the B-level over the past 24 hours, with most activity coming from the unnumbered target region near the southeast limb. The region appears to have a beta configuration and may be showing signs of development around its leader spot. It shall continue as the target region with only low-level events likely at this time. The approximate position of the target region on 28-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: S15E69, ( -853", -275" ) 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 remained at the low B-level since the last message, with the exception of a C8.5 flare that occurred behind the northwest limb (NOAA 13060) and a C3.5 flare from an approaching region on the southeast limb. The region in the northeast quadrant has now been designated as NOAA 13067 but has remained quiescent. The source region for the C3.5 flare on the southeast limb shall be the new target region with chance for additional low-to-intermediate level activity. The approximate position of the target region on 27-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: S17E88, ( -902", -278" ) 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, with only B-class flares emanating from the new target region near the northeast limb. The region remains unnumbered but appears to have a small, compact biploar configuration. It shall continue at the target region with only low level activity likely over the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target region on 26-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N18E79, ( -882", 275" ) 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 very low levels since the last message, with NOAA 13064 remaining quiescent, while a new region currently behind the northeast limb was the source of three occulted ~C1 flares. The region is unnumbered and its magnetic configuration uncertain but it shall be the new target region. Chance of increased activity as the region rotates into view. The approximate position of the target region on 25-Jul-2022 at 11:30 UT is: N19E86, ( -891", 301" ) 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. The target region NOAA 13064 has remained stable in terms of spot area and number of spots, remaining classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was the source of one C-class flare since the last message (a C1.6 on 23-Jul-2022 at 19:32 UT), while the most active region was the West-limb-transiting NOAA 13057 that produced four C-class flares including the largest in the period (a C3.6 on 23-Jul-2022 at 22:35 UT). The target remains on NOAA 13064 due to the high-lying loops of NOAA 13057 having rotated out of view. More C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13064 on 24-Jul-2022 at 14:00 UT is: N09W07 , ( 114", 65" ) 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 dual targets of NOAA 13058 and 13060 have both decayed and only produced one C-class flare since the last message (a C1.7 on 23-Jul-2022 at 12:34 UT). The target switches to NOAA 13064 that is a beta/C-type sunspot group which has produced three C-class flares in the period, the largest being a C1.9 flare on 23-Jul-2022 at 13:25 UT. Further C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13064 on 23-Jul-2022 at 18:00 UT is: N09W07 , ( 114", 65" ) 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 NOAA 13060 has decayed slightly since the last message and maintains an alpha/H-type sunspot class, while nearby NOAA 13058 decayed to become an alpha/H-type sunspot class. These regions were quiet for most of the period, but have recently produced two low C-class flares from the flux connections between them. The largest flare in the period was a C6.1 on 21-Jul-2022 at 23:39 UT from NOAA 13056 that has subsequently fully rotated over the South West limb. The target will remain with 13060 but the location shifts slightly to the mid-point between NOAA 13060 and 13058. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position between NOAA 13058 and NOAA 13060 on 22-Jul-2022 at 19:00 UT is: N14W35 , ( 527", 163" ) 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.
