Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA region 11785 has rotated
up to the Western limb. A new region has rotated over the North East
limb, but proximity to the limb prevents an accurate classification.
NOAA 11791 has increased in spot area over the past 24 hour period
and was the last region to produce notable activity (a C1.4 flare on
13-Jul-2013 at 05:36 UT). This region is classified as a beta/D-type
sunspot group by NOAA. More C-class events are possible in the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11791 on 14-Jul-2013 at 17:00 UT is:
S14E23, ( -354", -292" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. NOAA region 11785 has decreased
in spot area and number of spots in the past 24 hours, most likely due
to foreshortening effects as it rotates closer to the West limb. 11785
has retained a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group classification by NOAA,
and produced a C3.5 flare on 12-Jul-2013 17:16 UT. More C-class events
are possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 13-Jul-2013 at 11:00 UT is:
S11W74, ( 892", -198" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. NOAA 11785 and 11787 have
continued to gradually decay as they rotate towards the West limb.
NOAA 11785 has lost its delta spot configuration and is designated
by NOAA as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region was the
source of further C-class events - the largest being a C2.6 flare
on 11-Jul-2013 at 17:49 UT. More C-class activity is probable over
the following 24 hours, with a very small chance for an isolated
low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 12-Jul-2013 at 11:00 UT is:
S13W63, ( 821", -242" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. NOAA 11785 and 11787 are the
only spotted regions on disk. Both have shown signs of decay over
the past 24 hours, decreasing in spot area and number of spots but
retaining their NOAA classifications (beta-gamma-delta/E-type and
beta-gamma/E-type, respectively). NOAA region 11785 has continued
to produce C-class activity since yesterday's message, the largest
being a C2.0 flare on 10-Jul-2013 at 23:50 UT. More C-class events
are likely over the following 24 hours, with a small chance for an
isolated low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 11-Jul-2013 at 10:30 UT is:
S13W49, ( 693", -254" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. The most active region on the
disk is NOAA 11787, which produced 3 C-class events since yesterday's
message (the largest being a C4.9 flare on 10-Jul-2013 at 06:24 UT).
However, this region has decreased in number of spots and lost its
delta-spot classification over the past 24 hours. NOAA region 11785
also shows signs of decay but has retained a beta-gamma-delta/E-type
sunspot group classification from NOAA. Further C-class activity is
expected, with a small chance for an isolated low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 10-Jul-2013 at 12:30 UT is:
S12W38, ( 569", -246" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. Yesterday's target region
NOAA 11785 has shown a marginal decrease in spot area and is now at
a similar number of spots as on 7-Jul-2013 (yesterday's values were
probably erroneously low). This region continues to be classified by
NOAA as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group, although the delta
spot appears to have weakened. NOAA 11785 has produced two C-class
events since yesterday's message, the largest being a C4.5 flare on
8-Jul-2013 at 22:12 UT. Note: the C9.7 flare on 8-Jul-2013 at 01:13
UT (i.e., in the 24-hour period preceding yesterday's message) was
from 11785 but mis-assigned to a different solar location. Further
C-class events are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for
an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 9-Jul-2013 at 09:00 UT is:
S09W21, ( 335", -205" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. NOAA 11785 has maintained spot
area and decreased in number of spots, while remaining classified by
NOAA as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group. 11785 has continued
to produce C-class flares since yesterday's message, the largest being
a C6.1 on 8-Jul-2013 at 00:53 UT. Further C-class activity is expected
in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 8-Jul-2013 at 16:00 UT is:

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1785 produced numerous C-class events in
the past 24 hours. The largest was a C6.1 at 07/07/00:58 UT.
1785 is slowly decaying but still has a large E-type/beta-gamma
sunspot group with a weak magnetic delta configuration.
Additional C-class events expected with a chance of
an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1785 on July 07 at 13:00 UT is:
S11E04 (Solar X = -064, Solar Y = -238")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Active region complex NOAA 1785/87 was the source of
several C-class events in the past 24 hours. 1787 is now
losing sunspot area but is still displaying a
beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 1785 is maintaining
its large E-type/beta-gamma-delta sunspot group. The primary
target will continue to be 1785. If possible include 1787
within the F-O-V. C-class activity expected with the chance of
an M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1785 on July 06 at 13:00 UT is:
S11E16 (Solar X = -256", Solar Y = -234")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Active region complex NOAA regions 1785 and 1787 were
the source of several C-class events since the last message.
The largest was a C8.5 produced by 1787 at 07/05/13:04 UT.
1785 continues to be a large E-type/beta-gamma-delta region.
The weak delta configuration is located within the northern
portion of the large leader sunspot. 1787 is currently classified
as a D-type/beta-gamma region. If possible, include both regions
within the F-O-V. If that is not possible, the primary target is
NOAA 1785. C-class activity expected with a chance of an
M-class event in the next 24 to 48 hours.
The position of NOAA 1785/87 on July 05 at 13:00 UT is:
S13E39 (Solar X = -581", Solar Y = -255")
The position of NOAA 1785 on July 05 at 13:00 UT is:
S12E28 (Solar X = -434", Solar Y = -245")
