MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Dear Collaborators, Yesterday's target NOAA 12983 was the source of seven C-class flares (the largest one being a C3.8 at 04/12/06:38 UT) and also a few B-class events in the past 24 hours. 12983 has rotated beyond the west limb. Today the target will switch to a newly numbered region NOAA 12989. This region has an alpha/A-type configuration but has produced a B-class flare. It seems to be emerging new magnetic fluxes in its leading portion. B-class activities are expected with a chance of some low C-class events in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12989 on April 13 at 03:30 UT is: N19E71 (-856", 339") 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 very low level. The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C1.6 flare at 04/11/04:59 UT emergent from a plage region (S14E06, just in the north of NOAA 12987). Now there are two regions with sunspots on the visible disk, NOAA 12983 and 12988, the latter of which is a newly emerged region having a beta/B-type configuration. The target NOAA 12983 has decayed to an alpha/A-type region and produced four B-class flares during the period. We will watch this region for a further 24 hours until it rotates over the west limb. B-class activities are expected and some C-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12983 on April 12 at 03:30 UT is: N20W85 (895", 333") 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, Yesterday's target regions NOAA 12978/12981 were the source of two ~B5 flares. Since both the regions have completed the west limb passage, today the target will switch to NOAA 12983, the only region with sunspots on the visible solar disk. 12983 produced a B4.0 flare today and has a beta/D-type configuration. B-class activities are expected with a chance of C-class flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 12983 on April 11 at 03:30 UT is: N21W75 (863", 365") 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 Dear Collaborators, Target regions NOAA 2978/2981 have almost completed west limb passage. The regions were the source of two C-class events since the last message. 2978 produced a C1.1 at 04/09/02:41 UT and 2981 produced a C4.9 at 04/10/02:41 UT. There is still a chance of another C-class event before the regions rotate too far beyond the southwestern limb. The position of NOAA 2978/2981 on April 10 at 14:00 UT is: S22W89 (Solar X = 888", Solar Y = -355") 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 Dear Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2978 (S19W83, C-type/beta) is mostly unchanged and was quiescent since the last message. Its companion region NOAA 2981 (S23W83, C-type/beta) was the source of a few C-class events. The largest was a C4.7 at 04/09/11:24 UT. The flare was located in the southern portion of 2978 and the northern portion of 2981 at S21W87. The target position today will include both regions. Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2978/2981 on April 09 at 14:00 UT is: S22W84 (Solar X = 884", Solar Y = -347") 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 Dear Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2978 (C-type/beta) has significantly decayed, losing most of its intermediate and trailing sunspots. 2978 was the source of a C2.4 event at 04/08/15:14 UT. Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hours. There is an EFR developing within the leading portion of decaying NOAA 2983. The EFR produced a C1.0 event at 04/08/11:21 UT. The position of NOAA 2978 on April 08 at 14:00 UT is: S19W70 (Solar X = 853", Solar Y = -278") 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 Dear Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2978 continues to decay along with its companion region NOAA 2981 (S22W55). Both regions were the source of minor B-class events since the last message. A C-class event is still possible in the next 24 hour period. A large filament located in the southeastern quadrant (S35E10) became active/eruptive and disappeared by 4/7/06:00 UT. The position of NOAA 2978 on April 07 at 14:00 UT is: S19W57 (Solar X = 762", Solar Y = -258") 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 Dear Collaborators, Target region NOAA 2978 (E-type/beta) is slowly decaying especially within its intermediate and trailing portions. 2978 was the source of a minor C1.3 at 04/06/04:20 UT. NOAA 2981 located just south of 2978 (S25W43, C-type/beta)) produced a C1.3 event at 04/06/06:23 UT. 2981 is also decaying. The largest event since the last message was a C3.1 at 04/06/10:27 UT. The event was limb occulted at N14 degrees. C-class events possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2978 on April 06 at 14:00 UT is: S19W44 (Solar X =632", Solar Y = -240") 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 Dear Collaborators, The target NOAA 2975/2984 was the source of limb occulted C-class activity since the last message. The largest events were a C1.4 at 04/04/23:29 UT produced by 2975 and a C1.5 at 04/05/03:16 produced by 2984. The target regions are now well beyond the northwestern limb. The new target will be NOAA 2978. C-class events are possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 2978 on April 05 at 14:00 UT is: S18W30 (Solar X = 458", Solar Y = -209") 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 Dear Collaborators, The Major Flare Watch target region NOAA 2975 has almost completed west limb passage. At this time we will suspend the Major Flare Watch. NOAA regions 2975, 2976 and 2984 were the source of several C-class events since the last message. The largest was a C6.4 at 04/03/13:09 UT produced by 2976 (N17W74). The target will continue to monitor the three northwestern limb regions for the next 24 hour period. C-class activity likely with an isolated M-class event still possible. The position of NOAA 2975/2984 on April 04 at 14:00 UT is: N15W88 (Solar X = 926", Solar Y = 250") 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.
