MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly diminished since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced from NOAA 13484, the largest being a C2.2 at 01:40 UT today. NOAA 13477 has continued to decay since the last message as it begins to transit the southwest limb, and has not produced any further activity. NOAA 13483 has retained its beta-gamma classification and appears to have continued to increase in area as it approaches the northwest limb. NOAA 13483 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, with a slight chance of >= C-class activity. The position of NOAA 13483 on 13-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N09W72, (911", 135") 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 has reached a moderate level since the last message. NOAA 13477 produced an M1.2 at 17:01 UT yesterday, as well as several C-class flares as it approaches the southwest limb. However, NOAA 13477 appears to be decaying, reducing in both area and sunspot number. Several C-class flares were produced from NOAA 13483 and NOAA 13484 since the last message. NOAA 13483 has continued to increase in area and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-gamma type region. NOAA 13483 will continue as the target region for a further 24 hours, with a chance of further C-class activity. The position of NOAA 13483 on 12-Nov-2023 at 16:30 UT is: N10W62, (846", 126") 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 has slightly increased since the last message. Both NOAA 13477 and NOAA 13483 produced several C-class flares, the largest being a C7.2 at 03:51 UT today from NOAA 13483. NOAA 13483 remains a beta-type region but has continued to increase in area over the last 24 hours, developing a substantial leading sunspot. NOAA 13483 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, with chances of further C-class flares likely. The position of NOAA 13483 on 11-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N10W45, (676", 129") 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 has continued at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced, the largest being a C3.3 at 12:02 UT today from NOAA 13477 in the southwest quadrant of the solar disk. NOAA 13483 has reduced in complexity since the last message and is now classified as a beta-type region. However, NOAA 13483 has continued to increase in both area and sunspot number. NOAA 13483 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, with a chance for isolated C-class flares. The position of NOAA 13483 on 10-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N09W30, (480", 102") 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 has remained at a low level since the last message. NOAA 13483 produced a small number of C-class flares, the largest being a C4.2 at 20:05 UT yesterday. NOAA 13483 has increased in both complexity and area, and is now classified as a beta-gamma type region. NOAA 13483 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours, with further C-class flares likely. The position of NOAA 13483 on 09-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N09W16, (264", 94") 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, NOAA 13480 has remained quiescent since the last message, reducing in both area and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-type region. However, several C-class flares were produced from newly emerged active region NOAA 13483 close to disk centre, the largest being a C6.9 at 08:39 UT today. NOAA 13483 is currently classified a beta-type region and will be the new target region. Further C-class flares likely over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13483 on 08-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N10W05, (83", 107") 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 has diminished since the last message. A number of low C-class events were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C1.9 from target region NOAA 13480 at 05:38 UT today. The target region appears to have developed additional complexity since the last message and is now classified as a beta-gamma type sunspot group. However, the sunspot area appears reduced. Subsequently, NOAA 13480 will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours with a chance for isolated C-class flares. The position of NOAA 13480 on 07-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: S08E20, (-329", -194") 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 has achieved a moderate level since the last message. Target Region NOAA 13480 produced two low M-class flares, as well as several C-class flares, the largest event being an M1.8 at 11:34 UT yesterday. Multiple C-class flares were also observed from NOAA 13472 as it transits the northwest limb. NOAA 13480 retains its beta-type configuration and will continue to be the target region for a further 24 hours. Continued C-class activity is likely with slight chance for an isolated M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13480 on 06-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: S09E33, (-522", -205") 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 low levels. Yesterday’s target NOAA 13472 (N21W82, beta/C-type) only produced a C1.8 at 13:46 UT on 4-Nov-2023 in the period. However, there were still a few C1 flares from another region NOAA 13480, including a ~C1.3 flare at ~07:40 UT today, associated with a filament eruption and a CME. This region retains a beta/D-type sunspot group, with an increase in spot area. Today the target shall switch back to NOAA 13480. Additional C-class flares are expected in the following 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13480 on 5-Nov-2023 at 08:30 UT is: S09E49 (-723", -195") 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 has been at moderate-to-low levels. Yesterday’s target region was now numbered as NOAA 13480 (S11E57, beta/D-type) and only produced a C3.5 flare at 22:28 UT on 3-Nov-2023, with signs of decay. NOAA 13472 became the most productive region and was the source of several low-C flares including their largest one in the period - a C2.1 at 08:07 UT today. 13472 was downgraded to a beta/C-type magnetic configuration but experienced the emergence of new magnetic fluxes. Today the target should switch to NOAA 13472. Further C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13472 on 4-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is: N21W74 (868",328") 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.
