Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has picked up slightly since the last message due to
the appearance of a new active region on the eastern limb. The region
has produced several B-class flares, as well as a C1.8 flare at 11:31
UT today. The region is currently unnumbered, and it magnetic
configuration is unknown, but it shall be the new target region.
Additional low-level events possible.
The approximate position of the target region on 6-Jan-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N02E75, ( -944", 49" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels with no notable events
since the last message. The target region NOAA 12476 retains its beta
classification but continues to show signs of decay. No significant
change in activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12476 on 5-Jan-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
S10E07, ( -117", -111" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has essentially flat-lined at the low B-level with NOAA
12473 now well behind the western limb. The new target region shall be
NOAA 12476, a small, decaying beta region in the southeast quadrant
that has produced isolated low-level events over the past few days. No
significant activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12476 on 4-Jan-2016 at 21:35 UT is:
S10E21, ( -345", -116" )

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2473 is now located mostly beyond the southwestern
limb. 2473 continues to display an active filament and an
occasional bright surge. There is a slight chance of an
interesting limb event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2473 on January 03 at 15:35 UT is:
S21W91 (Solar X = 910", Solar Y = -349")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2473 was the source of a long-duration
M2.4 event at 01/01/00:10 UT. 2473 is producing numerous
bright surges as it rotates over the southwestern limb.
C-class activity is possible with only a slight chance of another
M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2473 on January 02 at 15:35 UT is:
S21W82 (Solar X = 902", Solar Y = -342")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2473 is mostly unchanged. 2473 was the source of
two minor C-class events since the last message
(C2.3 at 01/01/06:38 and C2.4 at 01/01/09:48 UT).
The region continues to produce frequent bright and dark
surges. C-class activity probable with only a slight chance of
an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2473 on January 01 at 15:35 UT is:
S21W69 (Solar X = 851", Solar Y = -332")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2473 continues to decay especially within its trailing
polarity portion which is currently nearly spotless. The
largest event 2473 produced since the last message was a
C4.3 at 12/30/22:45 UT. 2473 has an active filament located
along its main magnetic inversion line and is displaying frequent
bright and dark surging. Another C-class event is possible
but an M-class event is less likely in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2473 on December 31 at 15:35 UT is:
S21W56 (Solar X = 756", Solar Y = -324")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2473 has decayed significantly losing sunspot area
and count and it has also simplified magnetically losing its
delta configuration. The largest event 2473 produced in the
past 24 hours was a minor C2.5 event at 12/29/20:19.
Another C-class event is possible and there is still a slight
chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 to 48
hour period.
The position of NOAA 2473 on December 30 at 15:35 UT is:
S21W42 (Solar X = 611", Solar Y = -317")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2473 was the source of C-class events in the past
24 hour period. The largest was a C6.8 at 12/29/10:32 UT.
2473 is maintaining its large F-type/beta-delta sunspot
group. C-class events expected with the chance of an
M-class event in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The position of NOAA 2473 on December 29 at 15:35 UT is:
S22W28 (Solar X = 426", Solar Y = -329")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2473 was the source of an isolated
long-duration M1.9 event at 12/28/12:45 UT. The M-class
x-ray event was associated with a large double-ribbon flare
and eruptive filament. 2473 also produced a few C-class
events since the last message. 2473 is maintaining its large
F-type/beta-delta sunspot group. Another M-class event is
possible in the next 48 hours with C-class events probable.
The position of NOAA 2473 on December 28 at 15:35 UT is:
S22W14 (Solar X = 219", Solar Y = -327")
