MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region, now numbered NOAA 2002, developed rapidly
since the last message. 2002 is currently displaying
a D-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group with an east-west
magnetic inversion line. The tiny delta configuration is located
within the intermediate portion of the region. 2002 was the source
of several C-class events and two M-class events. The largest
was an M1.4 at 03/08/23:41 UT. C-class events expected with
another M-class event probable in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2002 on March 09 at 16:30 UT is:
S19E54 (Solar X = -740", Solar Y = -244")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1996 has somewhat decayed since the last message.
The target will switch to a bright compact C-type/beta region
with an east-west magnetic inversion line. This new region
was the source of a C3.4 event at 03/07/00:07 UT.
Another C-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of the target on March 08 at 12:00 UT is:
S19E72 (Solar X = -871", Solar Y = -277")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is very low. NOAA 1991 has significantly
decayed since the last message. The target will switch to
slowly developing NOAA 1996 which is currently displaying
bright H-alpha plage and an arch-type filament system.
No significant flare events expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1996 on March 07 at 12:30 UT is:
N15W05 (Solar X = 081", Solar Y = 367")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1991 has decayed significantly in the past 24 hours.
The region currently has a simple beta magnetic configuration.
No significant flare events expected in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1991 on March 06 at 12:30 UT is:
S24W32 (Solar X = 469", Solar Y = -296")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1991 was the source of a few C-class events and
an isolated M1.1 event at 03/05/02:10 UT. The delta
configuration located in the trailing portion of the E-type
sunspot group is slowly decaying. Additional C-class events
are probable and there is still a chance of another M-class
event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1991 on March 05 at 12:30 UT is:
S24W20 (Solar X = 303", Solar Y = -286")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1991 developed a new small delta configuration
located adjacent to the largest trailing sunspot. The region
is now classified beta-gamma-delta with a large E-type
sunspot group. 1991 was the source of several C-class events
in the past 24 hours. The largest was a C8.3 at 03/04/04:55 UT.
Additional C-class events expected with the chance of an isolated
M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1991 on March 04 at 12:30 UT is:
S23W07 (Solar X 108", Solar Y = -264")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1991 was the source of a few C-class
events since the last message. 1991 is maintaining a large
E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group and might be forming
a delta configuration within its intermediate portion. C-class
events expected with an isolated M-class event possible
especially if new flux emergence results in a delta configuration.
The position of NOAA 1991 on March 03 at 12:30 UT is:
S24E06 (Solar X = -092", Solar Y = -280")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains elevated with the majority of events emanating
from a region beyond the western limb. NOAA 11991 has remained
quiescent but retains its beta-gamma configuration and continues to
show signs of growth. NOAA 11991 shall continue to be the target
region with a chance of producing isolated low-level events.
The position of NOAA 11991 on 2-Mar-2014 at 16:35 UT is:
S25E16, ( -242", -300" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at the low C-level, although NOAA 11982, now on
the western limb, was the source of an M1.1 flare at 13:18 UT today.
The target region NOAA 11991 has remained quiescent but has increased
in both size and complexity, and is now classified as having a
beta-gamma configuration. Chance for increased activity over the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11991 on 1-Mar-2014 at 16:35 UT is:
S25E28, ( -413", -309" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains elevated, although NOAA 11990 has failed to
produce another major flaring event. We are therefore ending the
current Major Flare Watch campaign. The new target region shall be
NOAA 11991, a beta/D-type region in the southeast quadrant that has
produced several C-class flares over the past 24 hours, as well as an
M1.1 flare at 00:44 UT today. The region has shown signs of flux
emergence and is likely to produce further low-to-intermediate level
activity.
The position of NOAA 11991 on 28-Feb-2014 at 08:35 UT is:
S25E47, ( -643", -331" )
