MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2205 was the source of an impulsive M7.9
event at 11/05/09:47 UT. 2205 has a large E-type/beta-gamma
sunspot group with a possible delta magnetic configuration.
Another event =/>M5 is possible in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The position of NOAA 2205 on November 05 at 04:00 UT is:
N16E73 (Solar X = -891", Solar Y = 248")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region (now numbered NOAA 2205) produced an
M2.6 event at 11/04/08:38 UT and an M2.3 event at
11/04/09:04 UT. 2205 appears to have mixed polarities
located within its intermediate portion and possibly within its
trailing portion as well. There remains a chance of another
major flare in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The position of NOAA 2205 on November 04 at 12:00 UT is:
N15E80 (Solar X = -921", Solar Y = 239")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The northeastern limb target region was the source of an
M6.5 event at 11/03/22:30 UT. At this time we are implementing
Max Millennium coordinated observing plan #003 (Region
Likely To Produce A Major Flare). The region is still too close to
the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration. Another
event =/>M5 is probable in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The approximate position of the target on Nov. 03 at 22:30 UT is:
N14E89 (Solar X = -939", Solar Y = 232")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
A new region located mostly beyond the northeastern limb
was the source of a limb occulted M2.2 event at 11/03/11:53 UT.
The region is too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic
configuration but there is a large leader sunspot visible in
white light images. The default target will switch from
NOAA 2201 to the new region today. C-class events expected
with the chance of another M-class event possible in the
next 24 hour period.
The approximate position of the target on Nov. 03 at 12:00 UT is:
N17E89 (Solar X = -925", Solar Y = 281")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. A new bipolar region,
designated NOAA 12203, has emerged, but has not
released significant activity. NOAA 12201 shows
some evidence for flux emergence and a weak gamma
configuration. The region was responsible for high
B-class activity, the largest event being a C8.4 flare at
04:01 UT. Further high B-class events are expected
with the chance for a low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12201 on 2-Nov-2014 at 17:00 UT is:
S05E31 (-468",-146")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Including several other C-class
flares, the largest event was released by NOAA 12201, a C7.2
flare on 1-Nov-2014 at 16:36 UT. The region shows evidence
for further flux emergence and a weak gamma configuration.
Further low C-class events are expected with the chance for
another high C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12201 on 1-Nov-2014 at 16:35 UT is:
S05E41, ( -633",-139" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate to low level. The largest
event, a limb-occulted C8.2 flare was released by NOAA
12192 on 31-Oct-2014 at 01:01 UT. The region has now
completely rotated over the limb. The new region,
mentioned yesterday, has been designated as NOAA 2201
and shows some signs of flux emergence. The region was
responsible for low C-class activity. Further low C-class
events are expected with the chance for a high C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12201 on 31-Oct-2014 at 20:10 UT is:
S05E54, ( -779", -128" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate to high level. NOAA 12192
was responsible for high C-class activity and three M-class
events, the largest a M3.5 flare on 30-Oct-2014 at 01:35 UT.
The region has since rotated over the limb, but further partially
limb-occulted flares are expected. The most active on-disk
region is a new AR located at S15E55 (responsible for a C3
flare at 17:52 UT). Given the lack of substantial activity on disk,
NOAA 12192 will remain the target region. The MFW is ended
at this time. Further high C-class activity is expected with the
chance for another low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 12192 on 30-Oct-2014 at 17:30 UT is:
S12W91, ( 944", -198" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate to high level. Strong
shearing flows continue to bisect the main delta-spot
in NOAA region 12192, which maintains its
beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group designation.
The region was responsible for two M-class events,
the largest a M6.6 flare on 28-Oct-2014 at 03:32 UT,
since the previous message. The current MM#003
Major Flare Watch will continue for at least the next
24-48 hours as NOAA 12192 retains a strong potential
for continued flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 12192 on 28-Oct-2014 at 18:10 UT is:
S12W69, ( 883", -228" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a high level. Further flux emergence
within NOAA region 12192 is not readily apparent, but shearing
motions can be seen within the main delta-spot, which maintains
its beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group designation. The
region was responsible for two high M-class and another X-class
event (a X2.0 flare on 27-Oct-2014 at 14:47 UT), since the
previous message. The current MM#003 Major Flare Watch will
continue for the next 24-48 hours as NOAA 12192 retains a
strong potential for continued flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 12192 on 27-Oct-2014 at 19:00 UT is:
S12W56, ( 789", -244" )
