MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2036 was the source of numerous C-class
events in the past 24 hours but the largest event was a C8.6
produced by NOAA 2035 (S18E28). 2036 added significant
sunspot area since the last message. It is currently displaying
a compact D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. NOAA 2037
located almost directly north (S09E07) of 2036 is developing rapidly.
If possible, include both 2036 and 2037 in the F-O-V. C-class
events expected with the chance of an M-class event in the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2036 on April 15 at 15:30 UT is:
S18E04 (Solar X = -063", Solar Y = -206")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2035 is mostly unchanged and is currently stable.
Recently emerged NOAA 2036 has developed significantly
in the past 24 hours. 2036 is in rapid growth phase. It has
a strong arch-type filament system, bright plage, and
a D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with a small delta magnetic
configuration. 2036 was the source of an impulsive C7.5
event at 04/14/04:38 UT. The C7.5 event was concurrent
with a long-duration C4 event produced by a new region
rotating over the southeast limb at S13. The target will
switch from 2035 to 2036. C-class events expected with
an isolated M-class possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2036 on April 14 at 11:30 UT is:
S18E18 (Solar X = -282", Solar Y = -209")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2035 is currently mostly unchanged maintaining a
weak beta-gamma magnetic configuration. C-class
event is probable with a slight chance of an isolated
M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2035 on April 13 at 14:45 UT is:
S17E57 (Solar X = -769", Solar Y = -229")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2035 was the source of a few C-class
events since the last message. The largest was a C5.0
at 04/12/07:27 UT. 2035 is currently displaying a
D-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. C-class events expected
with a chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2035 on April 12 at 14:45 UT is:
S17E71 (Solar X = -867", Solar Y = -249")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region is still mostly located beyond the
southeastern limb. This new region continues to produce
limb occulted C-class events. The largest was a C9.4 at
04/11/11:24 UT. C-class events certain with an isolated
M-class event probable in the next 24 hour period.
The approximate position of the target on April 11 at 15:30 UT is:
S17E85 (Solar X = -912", Solar Y = -270")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The regions on the visible solar disk are decaying and/or
stable. The target will be the active region located beyond
the southeastern limb. This region is near the location of
old NOAA 2010. It was the source of limb occulted C-class
events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a C4.7 at
04/10/01:52 UT. Additional C-class events expected in the
next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on April 10 at 13:00 UT is:
S15E90 (Solar X = -925", Solar Y = -247")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The current level of solar flare activity remains very low.
No significant activity expected in the next 24 hours.
NOAA 2026 is decaying but will be the target for today.
There is an active region a few days from east limb passage
located approximately S14 which is near the location of old
NOAA 2010. This region is likely the next target.
The position of NOAA 2026 on April 09 at 13:00 UT is:
S12W51 (Solar X = 729", Solar Y = -136")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level.
NOAA 2026 was the source of only minor C-class events.
2026 has stabilized and is no longer in growth phase.
It is maintaining an E-type sunspot group with a weak
beta-gamma magnetic configuration. No significant
flare activity expected in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2026 on April 08 at 17:00 UT is:
S12W41 (Solar X = 616", Solar Y = -123")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is currently at a low level. The largest
event in the past 24 hours was a C4.0 event at 04/07/06:31 UT.
Its source region was NOAA 2026. New flux is emerging
in the leading portion of the region. Another C-class event
is probable in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2026 on April 07 at 13:00 UT is:
S10W25 (Solar X = 400", Solar Y = -073")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare continues at a very low level. The target region
(NOAA 2021) was the source of very minor C- and B-class
events. NOAA 2030, N11E09, has flux emergence within its
trailing sunspot but it currently doesn't appear to be significant
enough to change from 2021 to it. C- and B-class activity
possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2021 on April 06 at 15:30 UT is:
S13W65 (Solar X = 847", Solar Y = -171")
