MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2579 has decayed somewhat losing
sunspot area, sunspot count and its weak beta-gamma
magnetic configuration. 2579 was quiescent during the
past 24 hours. B-class events possible with only a
slight chance of an isolated C-class event in the next
24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2579 on August 24 at 14:30 UT is:
N12W05 (Solar X = 081", Solar Y = 083")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target EFR (NOAA 2579) was the source of numerous
B-class events since the last message. The largest was a
B3.0 at 08/23/03:39 UT. 2579 is currently displaying a
compact D-type/beta sunspot group with a weak beta-gamma
magnetic configuration and an E-W magnetic inversion line.
B-class events probable with the chance of an isolated
C-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2579 0n August 23 at 14:30 UT is:
N12E08 (Solar X = -129", Solar Y = 084")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 2578 (N09W30), continues to slowly
decay and is now spotless. The target will switch to
a rapidly developing EFR located in the northeastern quadrant.
The EFR has bright H-alpha plage with an arch filament system
and a tilted magnetic inversion line. B-class events probable
with a chance of an isolated C-class event if the region continues
to develop in the following 24 hour period.
The position of the target on August 22 at 09:45 UT is:
N12E27 (Solar X = -423", Solar Y = 096")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA 12578 has decayed
over the past 24 hours, being reclassified by NOAA as an alpha/A-type
group. No soft X-ray flares have occurred in the last 24 hours. Only
low-to-mid B-class flares are expected in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 21-Aug-2016 at 20:30 UT is:
N09W18, ( 296", 40" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be very low. NOAA 12578 has maintained
spot area and number of spots since yesterday's message, remaining
classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. NOAA 12578 produced the
only flare in the past 24 hours, a B4.4 on 20-Aug-2016 at 05:51 UT.
B-class activity is probable in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 20-Aug-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N09W05, ( 80", 35" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has remained very low. NOAA 12578 grew
slightly in spot area and number of spots in the past 24 hours and
was subsequently classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. None of
the spotted regions on disk produced any flaring activity since the
last message. Only B-class activity is expected over the following
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 19-Aug-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N09E08, ( -132", 37" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a very low level. After appearing
to decay slightly after yesterday's message, NOAA 12578 was classed
as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. This region has since shown signs
of minor growth and consolidation in its leading polarity spots. No
significant flares have been produced by 12578 since the last email.
B-class activity is possible over the next 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 18-Aug-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N09E21, ( -338", 44" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. NOAA 12578 has remained a
small bipolar beta/B-type sunspot group, with extended leading and
trailing plage field regions. NOAA 12578 produced one of the only
two B-class flares since the last message and will continue as the
target region because of some polarity mixing between the trailing
plage and a minor leading spot. More B-class activity is possible
over the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 17-Aug-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N08E37, ( -564", 42" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Yesterday's target has been
designated as NOAA 12578 and is classified as a beta/C-type sunspot
group. This region was the source of the only flare since the last
message, a B8.1 on 16-Aug-2016 at 08:08 UT. Further B-class flares
are possible in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low C-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 12578 on 16-Aug-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N08E49, ( -708", 59" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. A new region has rotated over
the North East limb since the last message and was the source of
multiple B-class events and two C1.1 flares. This region appears
to have a beta magnetic class, with fairly extended leading and
trailing plage field regions. More B-class activity is expected
in the following 24-hour period, with a chance for another low
C-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 15-Aug-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N08E62, ( -828", 79" )
