MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2824 continues to be active
producing numerous C-class events and 2 M-class
events since the last message (M1.4 at 05/22/21:36
and M1.1 at 05/23/11:08 UT). 2824 is mostly unchanged
maintaining its beta-gamma magnetic configuration
with small opposite negative polarity satellite spots
located adjacent to the region's main positive polarity
leading sunspot. C-class events expected with another
M-class event likely. There is a chance for a >M1 event
in the next 24 hour period if new negative polarity satellite
spots develop.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 23 at 14:45 UT is:
N20E05 (Solar X = -078", Solar Y = 351")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2824 was the source of numerous
B- and C-class events and an isolated M1.1 event at
05/22/17:11 UT. Several small negative polarity spots
emerged encircling the positive polarity main leading
sunspot since the last message. 2824 now has a
beta-gamma magnetic configuration. C-class events
expected with another isolated M-class event likely.
If the surrounding negative polarity satellite spots
continue to develop, >M1-class events are possible.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 22 at 14:00 UT is:
N20E22 (Solar X = -335", Solar Y = 351")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2824 produced 11 minor B-class
events since the last message. The events were
associated with an active/eruptive filament located
within the leading portion of the region. A region located
just beyond the northeastern limb at approximately N17
degrees was the source of 3 limb occulted B-class
events in the past 24 hours. This new region might
become the target tomorrow if it continues to show activity.
Additional B-class events probable with only a slight
chance of an isolated C-class event in the next 24
hour period.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 21 at 14:00 UT is:
N20E36 (Solar X = -525", Solar Y = 349")

Dear Collaborators,
The sunspot group in target region NOAA 2824 has
decayed to an H-type/alpha magnetic configuration.
2824 was quiescent during the past 24 hours. B-class
events possible with only a slight chance for an isolated
C-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 20 at 14:00 UT is:
N20E50 Solar X = -684", Solar Y = 345")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2824 is slowly decaying and is now
displaying a C-type/beta sunspot group. The mixed polarity
located in the region's leading portion has decayed
somewhat. 2824 was the source of a couple of minor
B-class events since the last message. B-class events
probable with only a slight chance of an isolated C-class
event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 19 at 10:00 UT is:
N20E63 (Solar X = -796", Solar Y = 340")

Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2824 was the source of a dozen
B-class events and an isolated C1.1 event at
05/18/02:09 UT. 2824 is too close to the east limb to
ascertain its magnetic configuration but it appears to
be a D-type/beta with some polarity mixing in the leading
portion of the region. B-class events certain with
C-class events possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2824 on May 18 at 15:00 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
A large leading sunspot in the target region is starting
to rotate over the northeastern limb. The target region
was the source of 3 limb occulted B-class events since
the last message. Additional B-class events expected
with C-class events possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of the target region on May 17 at 17:00 UT is:
N18E85 (Solar X = -899", Solar Y = 296")

Dear Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions continue. NOAA 12822 has remained quiescent since
the last message. A new active region currently visible in STEREO-A
images is due to rotate onto the northeast limb over the coming days.
The looptops currently visible in SDO images shall be the new target
region. Chance for some increased activity over the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 16-May-2021 at 11:30 UT is:
N20E88, ( -891", 324" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has diminished to very low levels. The only event of
note since the last message was a B1.2 flare from an unnumbered region
in the southeast quadrant at 16:51 UT yesterday. NOAA 12822 has
continued to decay and has now lost its delta configuration. It shall
remain the target region for a further 24 hours, although no
significant change in activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 12822 on 15-May-2021 at 11:30 UT is:
N17W29, ( 441", 314" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. The largest event since the
last message was a B4.9 flare from NOAA 12823 in the southern
hemisphere at 00:38 UT today. NOAA 12822 retains its beta-delta
configuration but has decayed in terms of sunspot area. It shall
remain the target region for a further 24 hours with additional
B-level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 12822 on 14-May-2021 at 11:30 UT is:
N18W17, ( 264", 335" )
