MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity was very low for the past 24 hours.
The current background x-ray flux is at the B1.7 level.
The largest event since the last message was a minor B4.3
produced by target region NOAA 2519. The reversed polarity
EFR located adjacent to the large leader sunspot has
significantly decayed in the past 24 hours. The target
will switch to the large E-type/beta region located in
the northeastern quadrant. B-class events probable with
the chance of an isolated C-class event in the next 24 hour
period.
The position of NOAA 2524 on March 17 at 15:30 UT is:
N14E68 (Solar X = -869", Solar Y = 275")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2521 has decayed significantly after
producing a few B-class events. An eruptive filament located
just beyond the northwestern limb near the location of NOAA
2522 was associated with a C2.2 event at 03/16/06:46 UT. The
target will switch to NOAA 2519. 2519 is displaying a small
reversed polarity EFR located adjacent to the southern edge
of the large round leader sunspot in region 2519. C-class
activity is possible If the EFR continues to develop,
The position of NOAA 2519 on March 16 at 15:00 UT is:
N05W14 (Solar X = 233", Solar Y = 200")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target EFR failed to continue in growth phase and
was mostly quiescent producing only minor B-class
events. The target will switch back to NOAA 2521.
2521 has decayed in sunspot area but retains mixed
polarities in the trailing plage portion. 2521 was the
source of two C-class events since the last message.
The largest was a C1.2 at 03/15/09:29 UT. B-class events
possible with a slight chance of another C-class event in
the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2521 on March 15 at 15:30 UT is:
N19W18 (Solar X = 282", Solar Y = 421")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2521 is mostly unchanged and was
mostly quiescent producing only a minor B-class event
in the past 24 hours. The target will switch to a rapidly
developing EFR located in the northwestern quadrant.
The EFR has an east-west magnetic inversion line and bright
H-alpha plage. B-class events probable with the chance of
a C-class event if the region continues to develop.
The position of the EFR target on March 14 at 15:00 UT is:
N14W53 (Solar X = 750", Solar Y = 303")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is currently at a very low level. The background
x-ray flux is flat at B1.4. The EFR target region (now numbered
NOAA 2521) has now stabilized displaying a D-type sunspot group
with a very weak beta-gamma magnetic configuration. B-class
events possible with only a slight chance of a C-class event in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2521 on March 13 at 15:35 UT is:
N19E09 (Solar X = -143", Solar Y = 426")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2519 is mostly unchanged in the past
24 hours. It was the source of a minor B8.8 event at
03/12/04:05 UT. The largest event since the last message
was a C1.1 event at 03/12/06:19 UT produced by NOAA
2513. The target will switch to an EFR located in the northeastern
quadrant. The EFR is displaying arch-type-filaments and
dynamic bright H-alpha plage. If it continues to develop, it might
produce a C-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of the target on March 12 at 15:00 UT is:
N19E23 (Solar X = -358", Solar Y = 419")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is very low. The current x-ray background
level is B1.6. Target region NOAA 2519 added a few small
spots within the trailing portion of its C-type/beta sunspot group.
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 2519 on March 11 at 06:00 UT is:
N05E65 (Solar X = -873", Solar Y = 135")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The northeastern target region, now numbered NOAA 2519,
has completed east limb passage. 2519 has been quiescent
since it produced the B- and C-class events when it was still
mostly beyond the limb. 2519 is currently displaying a simple
beta configuration with a C-type sunspot group. B-class events
possible with a slight chance of an isolated C-class event in
the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2519 on March 10 at 15:35 UT is:
N06E67 (Solar X = -885", Solar Y = 147")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The low-latitude EFR target region only produced an isolated
minor B7.1 event at 03/08/18:16 UT. The target will switch to
an active region located just beyond the northeastern limb.
The region was the source of limb occulted B- and C-class
events. The largest was a C3.3 at 03/09/12:50 UT. B- and
C-class events probable in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target on March 09 at 06:00 UT is:
N05E88 (Solar X = -962", Solar Y = 088")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2512 continues in decay phase. The target will
switch to an low-latitude EFR located in the northwestern
quadrant. The EFR was the source of an isolated
C1.5 event at 03/08/13:06 UT. The region is currently
displaying a B-type/beta sunspot group. B-class events
expected with the chance of another C-class event in the
next 24 hour period.
The position of the target on March 08 at 15:00 UT is:
N02W31 (Solar X = 499", Solar Y = 138")
