MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 15 Oct '23

15 Oct '23

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13460 has again remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13460 did not produce any flares in the period while NOAA 13464 (a beta/C-type group) produced a single flare that was the largest magnitude (a C3.9 on 15-Oct-2023 at 16:22 UT), and so becomes the new target. More C-class flares are likely in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13464 on 15-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is: N04W02 , ( 35", -31" ) 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, The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13460 has remained stable since the last message, continuing to be classed as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region produced the largest magnitude flare in the period, a C9.8 on 14-Oct-2023 at 04:58 UT. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13460 on 14-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is: S10W55 , ( 778", -223" ) 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 is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13451 has now fully rotated over the North West limb. This region produced 3 low C-class flares before disappearing from Earth-view. The region on the visible disk that is the most magnetically complex is now NOAA 13460, a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region also produced 3 low C-class flares in the period and becomes the new target. More C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13460 on 13-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: S11W41 , ( 620", -258" ) 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, The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region NOAA 13451 has now rotated up to the North West limb and remains classed as a beta-gamma/E-type group (although proximity to the limb means accurate classification is impossible). This region continued to be the most flare-productive spot region, being the source of several C-class flares as well as the largest magnitude event in the period - an M1.1 on 12-Oct-2023 at 04:50 UT. NOAA 13451 will remain as the target for a final 24 hours as it rotates fully out of view beyond the North West limb. Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13451 on 12-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N16W90 , ( 924", 263" ) 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 is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA 13451 appears to have been stable in size since the last message and was classified as a beta-gamma/E-type, but its proximity to the limb hampers accurate classification. This region continued to be the most flare-productive region on disk, being the source of several C-class flares including the largest magnitude event in the period - a C7.2 on 11-Oct-2023 at 09:29 UT. Additional C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period with a small chance for another low M-class flare before NOAA 13451 rotates fully over the North West limb. The position of NOAA 13451 on 11-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N17W85 , ( 915", 271" ) 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, The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13451 was stable in spot area since the last message, maintaining its beta-gamma/D-type classification. This region produced several C-class flares in the period, along with the largest magnitude flare - an M2.3 on 10-Oct-2023 at 12:08 UT. Another low M-class flare (an M1.6 on 10-Oct-2023 at 01:55 UT) was produced between NOAA 13451 and the nearby NOAA 13452 (a beta/E-type group). More C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for another M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13451 on 10-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N17W70 , ( 864", 245" ) 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 is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13460 grew slightly since the last message, and was also confirmed as being a beta-gamma/D-type classification. This region produced several C-class flares in the period, while previous target NOAA 13451 (now a beta-delta/E-type group) was the source of more C-class activity as well as the largest flare - a C7.6 on 9-Oct-2023 at 11:28 UT. The target now switches back to NOAA 13451 due to its magnetic classification. Further C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period, with a small chance remaining for a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13451 on 9-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N16W56 , ( 766", 207" ) 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, The level of solar activity is at a low-to-moderate. Target region NOAA 13451 grew slightly since the last message, being reclassified into a beta-gamma/E-type group. This region again produced a number of C-class flares in the period but the largest flare (an M1.7 on 7-Oct-2023 at 17:57 UT, just after yesterday's email was sent) came from NOAA 13460, an numbered sunspot group at that time. NOAA 13460 was initially designated as an alpha/A-type at the start of the UT day, but it was at a very early point in its emergence - 13460 now appears to be a beta-gamma/D-type configuration. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for another low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13460 on 8-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: S11E25 , ( -401", -277" ) 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 is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13451 was stable in spot area and number of spots since the last message, maintaining a beta-gamma/D-type group classification. NOAA 13451 again produced most of the flares in the period including the largest magnitude - a C3.5 on 7-Oct-2023 at 07:58 UT. Further C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period. The position of NOAA 13451 on 7-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N16W30 , ( 461", 175" ) 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, The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13451 has grown slightly since the last message, increasing in magnetic complexity to be designated as a beta-gamma/D-type group. This region again produced most of the flares in the period including the largest magnitude flare - a C4.7 flare on 5-Oct-2023 at 19:03 UT. Nearby region NOAA 13452 (a beta-gamma/E-type group) showed signs of decay and produced one C-class flare. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13451 on 6-Oct-2023 at 18:00 UT is: N17W17 , ( 267", 181" ) 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.
