MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 30 Nov '24

30 Nov '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a low level for the past 24 hours. The largest event of the period was a C5.6 flare at 05:56 UT today produced by NOAA 13906. 13906 also produced another seven C-class flares in the period. The other low C-class flares were produced by some other regions, e.g., NOAA 13902 and 13905 etc. Yesterdays' target NOAA 13912 was designated to be a beta/D-type configuration and has been flare quiet since the last message. Today the target will switch to NOAA 13906 due to its flare history, which has a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13906 on November 30 at 08:30 UT is: S16W26 (411", -282") 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. The largest event since the last message was a C5.4 flare from NOAA 13908 that has a beta/ D-type sunspot group. Yesterday's target NOAA 13910 retains a beta- gamma/D-type configuration and only produced a C2.2 flare in the period. Today the target will switch to a newly numbered region NOAA 13912, which produced six C-class flares including a C5.0. 13912 was designated as a beta/E-type configuration. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13912 on November 29 at 12:30 UT is: S04E59 (-833", -77") 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 to be at a low level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.0 flare at 12:27 UT yesterday from NOAA 13901 that has an alpha/H-type configuration. There were a few C-class flares produced by various regions including the target NOAA 13910. 13910 has developed to a beta-gamma/D-type region. Today we will watch this region for one more day. C-class activities are expected with some chance of a low M-class flare in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13910 on November 28 at 08:30 UT is: N17E50 (-714", 272") 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 was at a low level over the past 24 hours. The largest event was a C7.4 flare at 12:32 UT yesterday produced by the limb target region. This region has been designated as NOAA 13910 with a beta/D-type sunspot group. It also produced four low C-class (~C3) flares. Another region NOAA 13906 (S16E14, beta-gamma-delta/E-type) was the source of four C-class flares (the largest one being a C5.6). At this time, we are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign. Further C-class activities are expected with some low M-class flares probable in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13910 on November 27 at 08:30 UT is: N16E64 (-841", 258") 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has been at a moderate level since the last message. There occurred five low M-class flares and three of them (M2.0, M1.0, and M1.2) were produced by NOAA 13906 that retains a beta-gamma- delta/E-type configuration. The limb target region produced an M1.5 flare in the period and is rotating onto the visible solar disk. Today we will watch this limb region as the Major Flare Watch target for a further 24 hours. Additional low M-class activities are expected from this region as well as NOAA 13906 (S17E28), with some chance of a flare above M5 in the next few days. The approximate position of the target on November 26 at 08:30 UT is: N20E86 (-910", 340") 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#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Dear Collaborators, There was just an M9.4 flare (at 07:24 UT) produced by a region beyond the northeast limb mostly. At this time, we are implementing the Major Flare Watch campaign on this limb region. This region also produced an M1.1 flare at 20:11 UT yesterday. Also note that yesterday's target NOAA 13906 (S16E42) has developed to a beta- gamma-delta/E-type region with a sunspot area of ~500 MSH and was the source of two M-class (M1.1 and M1.8) and five C-class flares since the last message. Further C- and low M-class activities are expected with a good chance of another major flare (>M5) in the next few days. The approximate position of the target on November 25 at 08:30 UT is: N20E89 (-940", 325") 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 a moderate level. Yesterday's target NOAA 13905 (S09E46, beta-gamma/E-type) has been flare-quiet since the last message, while nearby NOAA 13906 (S16E52, beta-gamma/D- type) has become active. 13906 was the source of eight mid-C-class flares in the period and now appears to be undergoing flux emergence in its trailing sunspot. Today the target shall switch to NOAA 13906, but if possible, please include NOAA 13905 in your field of view as well. The largest event in the period was an M1.2 flare from NOAA 13901 (S07W14, beta-gamma/C-type) at 15:54 UT yesterday (11/23). Additionally, a northeast region (N11E70, unnumbered yet) also produced an M1.1 flare and several C-class flares in the period. Further low M-class flares are expected in the next 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13906 on 24-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is: S16E52 (-737",-285") 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 returned to a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.6 flare at 15:42 UT yesterday (11/22), produced by the target region NOAA 13905 (S09E59). This region has increased in magnetic complexity to a beta-gamma type and produced another four C-class flares in the period. NOAA 13905 will remain the target today, as it is showing mixed polarities in the intermediate portion. Please note that NOAA 13906 (S16E68, beta/D-type), located near the target region, produced an M1.1 flare and three C-class flares in the period. If possible, please also include 13906 in your field of view. Further low M-class flares are expected in the next 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13905 on 23-Nov-2024 at 08:30 UT is: S09E59 (-824",-167") 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 moderate-to-low level. The largest event since the last message was a C9.1 flare at 03:23 UT today (11/22), produced by the target region 13901 (S07E14). It remains classified as a beta-gamma /D-type sunspot group and produced another two C-class flares in the period. However, its spot activity appears relatively stable. Please note that a limb region NOAA 13905 (S09E71, beta/D-type) also produced two mid-C-class flares in the period and now exhibits relatively high current helicity. Today, the target region shall switch to NOAA 13905. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of low M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13905 on 22-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is: S09E71 (-908",-162") 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 returned to a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.2 flare at 19:11 UT yesterday (11/20), produced by NOAA 13889, which has completely rotated over the west limb. The regions NOAA 13892 and 13897, which have also rotated over the west limb, were the sources of several C-class flares. The target region NOAA 13901 (S07E28) retains a beta-gamma magnetic configuration and produced three C-class flares in the period. At this time, we are ending the Major Flare Watch, but NOAA 13901 shall remain the target region as it is emerging new magnetic flux in its trailing portion. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of low M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13901 on 21-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is: S07E28 (-454",-149") 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.
