MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity was very low during the past 24 hours.
All regions on the visible solar disk are stable. The target today
will be NOAA 1944 which is now located beyond the southeastern
limb. There is a chance to observe limb activity from 1944
in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1944 on January 15 at 12:30 UT is:
S12W91 (Solar X = 953", Solar Y = -203")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1944 has almost completed west limb passage.
1944 was the source of an impulsive M1.3 event at
01/13/21:51 UT. Another M-class event is possible
within the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1944 on January 14 at 12:30 UT is:
S10W90 (Solar X = 960", Solar Y = -168")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1944 continues in decay phase losing sunspot
area, sunspot count and magnetic complexity but is
still a large F-type/beta-gamma region. It is possible
that 1944 will produce another M-class event before
west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 1944 on January 13 at 12:30 UT is:
S10W76 (Solar X = 932", Solar Y = -151")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 11944 continues to
decay, remaining classified as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot
group. This region has maintained flare productivity over the past
24 hours, being the source of 5 C-class flares (the largest being
a C6.0 flare on 11-Jan-2014 at 23:57 UT). Further C-class activity
is expected over the following 24 hours, with a chance for a flare
>M5 from NOAA 11944 still remaining.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 12-Jan-2014 at 14:30 UT is:
S10W62, ( 850", -135" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 11944 has continued to decay
over the past 24 hours, decreasing in both spot area and number of
spots. This region has maintained a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot
group classification, while the region's decay has further weakened
its delta spot configuration. NOAA 11944 has returned to producing
flare activity, being the source of four C-class flares in the past
24 hours (the largest being a C6.5 on 11-Jan-2014 at 13:00 UT). More
C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance
for a flare >M5 still possible from 11944.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 11-Jan-2014 at 14:30 UT is:
S09W51, ( 751", -108" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 11944 has shown signs
of decay, decreasing somewhat in spot area and significantly in number
of spots. This region remains the largest and most complex region on
the visible disk with displaying a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot
group classification, although the delta spot strength has weakened.
NOAA 11944 produced only one low C-class flare since the last message,
so the MM#003 Major Flare Watch ceases at this time. Further C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for a flare
above the M5 level still possible due to past flare behaviour of 11944.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 10-Jan-2014 at 19:30 UT is:
S09W39, ( 606", -99" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA 11944 remains the largest
and most complex region on disk, displaying a beta-gamma-delta/F-type
sunspot group classification. This region has maintained both sunspot
area and number of spots since yesterday's message, but only produced
low C-class flares over the past 24 hours. The MM003 Major Flare Watch
will continue for another 24 hours, as 11944 retains the potential for
additional flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 9-Jan-2014 at 13:00 UT is:
S09W24, ( 396", -92" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is high. NOAA 11944 has grown in spot
area over the past 24 hours, while maintaining number of spots and
a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification. Since the
MM#003 Major Flare Watch was initiated yesterday, NOAA 11944 was
the source of an X1.2 flare on 7-Jan-2014 at 18:04 UT. The Major
Flare Watch will continue for at least another 24 hours, as 11944
retains the potential for additional flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 8-Jan-2014 at 12:30 UT is:
S09W10, ( 167", -89" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA region 11944 continues to
be the largest and most complex region on the visible disk, displaying
a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group configuration. This region has
maintained both spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours,
producing low C-class flares and an M7.2 on 7-Jan-2014 at 10:07 UT. At
this time we are implementing a MM#003 Major Flare Watch, as 11944 has
produced a flare above M5 and retains the capacity to produce further
major flares.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 7-Jan-2014 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA region 11944 has maintained
a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification over the past
24 hours. This region has also maintained spot area coverage through
several smaller spots coalescing into larger, more mature spots. NOAA
11944 produced 3 C-class flares since yesterday's message (the largest
being a C7.1 on 6-Jan-2014 at 00:08 UT). However, the X-ray background
and flare magnitude/frequency is generally decreasing. Further C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a reasonable chance
for a mid M-class flare and a small chance for an X-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11944 on 6-Jan-2014 at 16:00 UT is:
S09E16, ( -269", -94" )
