MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13800 has retained a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group classification, but some of its intermediate spot distribution has simplified. NOAA 13800 has only produced three C-class flares in the period, the largest being a C6.6 flare on 25-Aug-2024 at 17:23 UT. The previous target NOAA 13796 also evolved somewhat, retaining its classification as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group but showing some flux emergence in its intermediate spots late in the period. NOAA 13796 has increased in flare productivity, being the source of several C-class flares and the largest magnitude flare since the last message - an M1.4 on 26-Aug-2024 at 11:28 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain in effect, but the target switches to NOAA 13796 for the following 24 hour period. C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for further M-class activity. The position of NOAA 13796 on 26-Aug-2024 at 19:30 UT is: S04W38 , ( 584" , -158" ) 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 remains at a moderate level. NOAA 13800 produced several flares, the largest being an M1.7 at 23:18 UT yesterday. NOAA 13800 remains classified as a beta-gamma region and has a relatively small area. However, this region still shows some signs of sunspot dynamism. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be a final 24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for additional M-class activity in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13800 on 25-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S28W02, (29",-546") 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 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a moderate level since the last message. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M5.1 from NOAA 13800 at 20:08 UT yesterday. NOAA 13796 has remained relatively quiet since the last message, producing an M1.6 at 00:02 UT today. NOAA 13800 has been newly classified as a beta-gamma type region. The Major Flare Watch will be extended and the target region will switch to NOAA 13800 as this region has produced a number of M-class flares in the last 24 hours. Further M-class activity is possible with a chance for an additional >M5 event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13800 on 24-August-2024 at 07:30 UT is: S28E10, (-145",-544") 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-high level. Several flares were produced since the last message, the largest being an M3.5 from a newly numbered active region, NOAA 13801 at 03:31 UT today. NOAA 13796 remains classified as a beta-gamma type region but has shown a slight reduction in area. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for now with NOAA 13796 as the target region, attention should also be paid to NOAA 13801 as it develops further. Further C-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 23-August-2024 at 07:30 UT is: S02E08, (-132",-147") 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 flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M5.1 from NOAA 13796 at 21:59 UT yesterday. NOAA 13796 is currently classified as a beta-gamma region with an area of 350 μh. At this time we are initiating a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13796 as the target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a chance for an additional >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 22-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S03E19, (-309",-158") 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#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has remained steady over the last 24 hours. A number of flares were produced, the largest being an M1.1 from NOAA 13796 at 05:53 UT today. NOAA 13796 continues to demonstrate dynamic sunspot activity and has further grown in area. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma. NOAA 13796 will remain the target region, additional C-class activity is likely, with a chance for a low M-class flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 21-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S04E34, (-530",-160") 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#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly decreased since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an M3.7 from NOAA 13796 at 21:41 UT yesterday. NOAA 13784 has remained relatively dormant as it continues its transit of the northwest limb. NOAA 13796 produced a number three low M-class flares since the last message. This region has shown interesting sunspot dynamism and notable emerging flux. NOAA 13796 is currently classified as a beta-gamma type region. The target region will now switch to NOAA 13796. Further C-class activity is likely, with a chance for additional M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13796 on 20-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S03E48, (-705",-125") 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#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a low-moderate level. Three M1.4 flares were produced since the last message, two from NOAA 13796 and a third from NOAA 13785. NOAA 13784 has begun its transit of the northwestern limb and still shows signs of emerging flux. However NOAA 13784 has remained relatively quiet. At this time we are ending the Major Flare Watch but NOAA 13784 shall remain the target region. Additional C-class activity is expected, with a slight chance for additional M-class flares in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 19-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N16W67, (840",217") 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

18 Aug '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity remains at a low-moderate level. Several flares have been produced since the last message, the largest being an M2.4 from NOAA 13784 at 01:50 UT today. NOAA 13784 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta as it begins its approach of the northwest limb. This region still shows signs of significant flux, however the sunspot behaviour appears to be steady. While NOAA 13784 remains in view on the disk, the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional C-class and low M-class activity is anticipated, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 18-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W54, (742",180") 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 at a low-moderate level. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.6 from NOAA 13784 at 10:24 UT today. NOAA 13784 has shown signs of decay as it approaches the western limb, however this region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta with an area of 600 μh . The Major Flare Watch will continue while NOAA 13784 remains on the disk. Further C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 17-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W41, (602",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.
