MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Dear Collaborators, The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13729 has grown slightly in sunspot area and number of spots since the last message, but increased in polarity mixing to become classified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group. NOAA 13729 was again the most flare-productive region with seven C-class flares, the largest being a C2.6 on 2-Jul-2024 at 09:02 UT. The largest magnitude flare in the period was a C3.6 flare on 2-Jul-2024 at 22:27 UT from a new region that is now rotating onto the visible disk over the South East limb. NOAA 13729 remains as the target due to its overall size and complexity, as well as its higher flare rate. More C-class activity is expected over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13729 on 2-Jul-2024 at 15:30 UT is: S04W09 , ( 147", -116" ) 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-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA 13734 has remained stable in terms of sunspot area and number of spots since the last message, and is now classed as a beta/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13734 was flare-quiet in the period but NOAA 13729 was the most flare productive region with five C-class flares (its largest being a C2.8 on 1-Jul-2024 at 11:32 UT). The largest magnitude flare in the period came as an M2.1 on 1-Jul-2024 at 10:51 UT from NOAA 13730 (an alpha/A-type sunspot group). The target switches to NOAA 13729 due to its overall size and higher flaring rate. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13729 on 1-Jul-2024 at 19:30 UT is: S04E02 , ( -32", -115" ) 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.
