MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has remained at a low level since the last message. A small number of flares were produced since the last message, the largest being an M1.3 from NOAA 13590 at 16:37 UT yesterday. NOAA 13590 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta region with an area of 930 μh. NOAA 13590 will continue as the target region for the next 24 hours as it begins its transit of the northwest limb. Further C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for additional isolated M-class activity. The position of NOAA 13590 on 29-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18W60, (798",355") 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 slightly increased since the last message. Several C-class flares were produced, the largest being a C5.6 from NOAA 13590 at 11:13 UT today. NOAA 13590 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta, however it has further reduced in area and flux over the last 24 hours and has shown relatively little dynamism in sunspot behaviour. At this time we are ending the Major Flare Watch. NOAA 13590 will remain the target region for the next 24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for an isolated low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13590 on 28-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18W47, (675",376") 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

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has remained low since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced a number of C-class flares, the largest being an C3.5 at 07:14 UT today. NOAA 13590 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region, however it has reduced in area to 1130 μh. This region also appears to have shown a reduction in dynamic sunspot behaviour and flux. Given the sustained complexity of NOAA 13590, the Major Flare Watch will be extended for what might be a final 24 hours. C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for isolated >M5 activity. The position of NOAA 13590 on 27-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18W38, (568",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.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

26 Feb '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly diminished since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced several flares, the largest being an M2.1 at 16:47 UT yesterday. NOAA remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region and now has an area of 1450 μh. This region appears to be showing a reduction in flux and number of associated spots. However, due to the sustained complexity and substantial area of NOAA 13590, the Major Flare Watch will be extended for a further 24 hours, with a chance for isolated >M5 activity. The position of NOAA 13590 on 26-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18W20, (316",406") 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 remained at a moderate level since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced several C-class flares, the largest being a C7.9 at 17:39 UT yesterday. NOAA 13590 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region and has continued to grow in area to 1400 μh. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for a further 24 hours due to the sustained complexity and continual growth of target region NOAA 13590, with a chance for isolated >M5 activity. The position of NOAA 13590 on 25-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18W08, (128",412") 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

24 Feb '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a moderate level since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced a significant number of flares, the largest being and M4.5 at 06:21 UT today. NOAA 13590 has retained its beta-gamma-delta configuration and has increased in area to 1150 μh. This region still shows signs of significant flux and dynamic behaviour. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13590 as the target region, due to the sustained activity and continual growth of this region. Further >M5 possible is likely over the next 24-48 hours . The position of NOAA 13590 on 24-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18E06, (-96",412") 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 to increase since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced several flares, with the largest being an X6.4 at 22:08 UT yesterday. NOAA 13590 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region and currently has a sunspot area of 900 μh. This region continues to show significant flux and dynamic sunspot motion. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13590 as the target region. Additional >M5 activity is expected over the next 24-48 hours . The position of NOAA 13590 on 23-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18E19, (-301",406") 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 since the last message. NOAA 13590 produced an X1.8 flare at 22:52 UT yesterday and an additional X1.7 flare at 06:17 UT today. NOAA 13590 has increased in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region. This region continues to show signs of significant flux and has a substantial area of 740 μh. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13590 as the target region. Further >M5 activity is expected over the next 24-48 hours . The position of NOAA 13590 on 22-Feb-2024 at 08:30 UT is: N17E33, (-506",378") 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 low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced, the largest being a partially occulted C4.4 from a currently unnumbered active region over the southeast limb at 01:55 UT today. NOAA 13590 continues to show an increase in both size and complexity, and is currently classified as a beta-gamma type region with a sunspot area of 760 μh. NOAA 13590 will continue to be the target region for the next 24 hours with a chance of further C-class activity or greater. The position of NOAA 13590 on 21-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N17E44, (-646",364") 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 remained at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced, the largest being a partially occulted C4.1 from NOAA 13583 at 22:59 UT yesterday. NOAA 13590 is now classified as a beta-type region with a substantial sunspot area of 530 μh. This region continues to demonstrate signs of significant flux as it furthers its transit onto the solar disk. NOAA 13590 will continue to be the target region for the next 24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for an isolated M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13590 on 20-Feb-2024 at 12:30 UT is: N18E54, (-748",364") 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.
