MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
The northeastern target region is now numbered
NOAA 3058. It was the source of another M-class
event (an isolated M2.8 event at 07/14/21:48 UT).
3058 also produced three C-class events in the past
24 hours. 3058 has small but tightly mixed polarities
located within the leading polarity area. NOAA 3056
(S17E03) was the source of five C-class events
since the last message. NOAA 3058 will continue to
be the default target for at least the next 24 hours.
C-class events expected with a chance of another
M-class event.
The position of NOAA 3058 on July 15 at 15:30 UT is:
N15E62 (Solar X = - 806", Solar Y = 211")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3053 has decayed losing its
tiny magnetic delta configuration. 3053 was the
source of C-class events since the last report. The
largest was a C6.3 at 07/14/16:50 UT. NOAA 3056
developed numerous small spots in the past 24 hours
and was also the source of C-class events. The largest
was a C6.7 at 07/14/13:32 UT. The largest event since
the last message was an isolated M1.2 at 07/14/04:31 UT.
The source region is currently rotating over the
northeastern limb at approximately N15 degrees. The
target will switch to this region for at least the next
24 hour period. C-class events possible with the chance
of another isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The approximate position of the region on July 14 at 08:00 UT is:
N15E81 (Solar X = -901", Solar Y = 233")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3055 (S16W14) is now decaying
somewhat and was only able to produce one minor
C1.6 event in the past 24 hours. The target will switch
to NOAA 3053 today. 3053 has developed a tiny
magnetic delta configuration since the last message.
The delta spot is located within the northeastern
trailing polarity portion in its large E-type sunspot group.
3053 was the source of 5 C-class events today.
C-class events expected with only a slight chance of
an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 3053 on July 13 at 14:45 UT is:
N17W26 (Solar X = 397", Solar Y = 217")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3056 (S17E45) was the source of a
C7.6 at 07/12/03:28 UT. It was the largest event since
the last message but 3056 has now decayed losing its
small magnetic delta configuration and penumbral
area within its trailing spots. The target will switch to
NOAA 3055 today. 3055 added a few opposite polarity
spots within the intermediate portion of its large E-type/beta
sunspot group. 3055 has only been able to produce
minor C-class events but if growth continues, especially
in its intermediate area, M-class activity is possible in
the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 3055 on July 12 at 15:30 UT is:
S16W04 (Solar X = 063", Solar Y = -324")

MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 3053 (N15E03) has decayed somewhat
and was quiescent. NOAA 3055 (S17E13) is a large
region with an impressive E-type/beta sunspot group
but was only able to produce a single minor C1.7
event since the last message. We will switch the target
to newly emerged NOAA 3056. 3056 was the source
of 5 C-class events and 2 M-class events since the last
message. The largest was an M1.3 at 07/10/23:43 UT.
3056 is currently displaying a small D-type/beta sunspot
group with a possible magnetic delta configuration
located within the leading sunspot. C-class events
expected with the chance of another M-class event
in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 3056 on July 11 at 09:00 UT is:
S17E62 (Solar X = -799", Solar Y = -305")

Dear Collaborators,
The largest event since the last message was a C8.5
at 07/09/13:29 UT emergent from the plage region
NOAA 13047. Target region NOAA 13053 only produced
several low C-class flares during the period. Numerous
low C-class flares were also produced by various regions,
13055 (beta/E-type), 13052, 13051, and a new east limb
region (S17E72). 13053 remains its beta/E-type classification
and shows mixed polarities. Further C-class activities are
expected with a chance of an isolated low M-class flare
in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 13053 on July 10 at 19:30 UT is:
N15E08 (-127", 183")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message with
the largest event being an M2.5 flare at 07/08/20:07 UT
produced by the target region NOAA 13053. Numerous
low C-class flares were also emergent from various active
regions (13053/13052, 13055, 13051). 13053 remains its
beta/E-type configuration and continues to emerge positive
fluxes in its leading and also trailing portions. More C-class
activities are expected with a chance of another low M-class
flare in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 13053 on July 9 at 07:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level. The largest event since
the last message was a C1.4 flare at 07/08/00:55 UT produced
by a newly numbered region NOAA 13055 (S18E56, beta/D-type).
The target region NOAA 13053 has been classified as a beta/E-type
configuration with significantly increasing in the sunspot area and
number of spots. 13053 only produced a C1.0 during the period.
If possible, please also include the 13052 (N15E24, beta/C-type)
in your field of view. Further C-class activities are expected from
the target region NOAA 13053/13052 and also NOAA 13055 in
the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13053 on July 8 at 07:30 UT is:
N14E43 (-626", 186")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a very low level. The largest X-ray
event since the last message was a C1.5 at 07/07/01:16 UT
emergent from a new limb region (S19E80). The target regions
NOAA 13053 and 13052 were the sources of three high B-class
flares. 13053 has been classified as a beta/D-type region with
increasing in the sunspot area and number of spots. If possible,
please also include the 13052 (N15E33, beta/C-type) in your
field of view. C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13053 on July 7 at 11:30 UT is:
N15E52 (-719", 209")

Dear Collaborators,
The limb target region has been numbered as NOAA 13053
with an alpha/A-type configuration but having a large sunspot
area. 13053 was the source of six C-class flares in the past 24
hours, the largest one being a C7.5 at 07/05/12:26 UT. It seems
to emerge opposite polarities in its intermediate portion. If possible,
please also include NOAA 13052 (N15E54) in your field of view,
which has produced a C2.4 flare. More C-class activities are
expected with a chance of a low M-class flare in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 13053 on July 6 at 03:30 UT is:
N14E70 (-861", 209")
