Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at low levels. The target region NOAA
12268 is now classified as a beta-gamma region but has still only
produced low C-level events since the last message. The region appears
to be in decay but additional isolated C-class flares may be possible.
The position of NOAA 12268 on 24-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S10E53, ( -768", -114" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region near the southeast limb has now been designated as
NOAA 12268. It appears to be a simple beta region and had been
relatively quiet since the M1.4 flare yesterday. The only noteworthy
event today was a C4.3 flare at 02:48 UT. The region may be showing
signs of decay but still has the potential to produce further C-level
activity, with slight chance of an isolated low M flare.
The position of NOAA 12268 on 23-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S10E60, ( -832", -124" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region on the southeast limb has continued to produce
C-level activity since the last message, as well as an M1.4 flare at
04:43 UT today. The region is still too close to the limb to ascertain
its magnetic configuration. However, further C-level activity is
likely, with chance for an additional low M-class flare as it rotates
on the visible hemisphere.
The approximate position of the target region on 22-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S11E85, ( -953", -177" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased significantly over the past few hours
with a number of C-level events emanating from an active region just
beyond the southeast limb. This included a partially-occulted C9.9
flare that occurred at 11:32 UT today. Although its magnetic
configuration is uncertain at this time, this shall be the new target
region. Further C-level activity likely with chance for an low M-class
flare.
The approximate position of the target region on 21-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S11E88, ( -956", -183" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels. The region in the
northeast quadrant appears to be spotless and has been relatively
inactive since the last message. NOAA 12266 has continued to develop
and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. It was also the source
of a C3.3 flare at 20:41 UT yesterday. NOAA 12266 shall be the new
target region but only minor isolated events are expected over the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12266 on 20-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:
S06W13, ( 219", -18" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels. The newly-emerged bipolar
region close to disk center has now been designated as NOAA 12266 but
has remained quiescent. The only events over the past 24 hours were a
few C1.0 flares from the unnumbered region on the eastern limb that
shall remain the target region. The magnetic configuration of the
region is still unknown at this time but additional low level events
may be possible.
The position of the target region on 19-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:
N08E87, ( -964", 140" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions continue. NOAA 12259 has continued to decay, and
a newly-emerging region close to disk center has also not resulted in
any increase in activity. The only event of note over the past 24
hours was a C1.0 flare at 05:41 UT from a region behind the northeast
limb. This shall be the new target region. Additional low to
intermediate level events may be possible over the next day or two as
the region rotates into view.
The approximate position of the target region on 18-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:
N07E83, ( -961", 128" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has dropped to below the C1 level. The target region
NOAA 12259 has remained quiescent over the past 24 hours and continues
to decay. No significant increase in activity is expected at this
time.
The position of NOAA 12259 on 17-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S17W43, ( 637", -228" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to background levels with NOAA 12257 now
behind the western limb. The new target region shall be NOAA 12259, a
small beta-delta region in the southwest quadrant. This region has
been in decay over the past few days and is unlikely to produce any
significant activity over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12259 on 16-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
S16W31, ( 484", -203" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has begun to decrease with NOAA 12257 now behind the
western limb. The loops of the region remain visible and it may still
produce some minor isolated over-the-limb events over the next 24
hours. As the other active regions on the visible hemisphere have been
less flare-productive, NOAA 12257 shall continue to be the target
region but we are ending the Major Flare Watch at this time.
The position of NOAA 12257 on 15-Jan-2015 at 12:35 UT is:
N07W91, ( 967", 117" )
