Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. As the more flare productive
regions rotate off the disk, activity is not expected to increase. NOAA
11602 will remain as today's target. This region remains largely unchanged
and is not likely to produce flaring activity above low C-class.
The position of NOAA 11602 on 3-Nov-2012 14:00 UT is:
S19E05 ( -80", -380" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is low. There have been only B class events in the past 36
hours. Today's target will change to NOAA 11602, in the south east
quadrant. This small region is getting brighter in H-alpha as it approaches
the meridian and has been reclassified to beta level magnetic complexity. B
- C class flares are possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11602 on 2-Nov-2012 14:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels today. All spots on the solar disk
have weak, alpha spot configuration. As the region with the largest area,
NOAA 11598 will continue as todays target as it makes its approach to the
west limb. This region continues to produce low level B and C class flares.
Activity is not expected to increase in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 1-Nov-2012 14:00 UT is:
S11W73 ( 908", -204" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels today. NOAA 11602 is showing bright
EUV emission, although it has yet to produce any activity. Therefore, as
the region with most complex magnetic field and the most flare productive
region, NOAA 11598 will remain today's target. Activity above C-class is
not expected today.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 31-Oct-2012 14:00 UT is:
S11W59 ( 814", -221" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is low. NOAA 11598 has decayed to a single-spot beta class
region, although it retains much of its H-alpha emission. A new, possibly
emerging region - 11602 - has been named on the south east limb. However,
this region is still quite small. Therefore, 11598 will remain the target
of opportunity for the next 24 hours. B and C class flaring activity is
possible.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 30-Oct-2012 14:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11598 is continuing to decay. The area of the leading spot remains
approximately constant, but the trailing spot has significantly decayed and
has been reclassified to beta class. This region has produced a single
C-class flare in the past 24 hours and activity is not expected to increase
in the immediate future. Meanwhile, NOAA 11596 appears to be growing in
complexity, with its leading spot now classified as beta-gamma. However,
given the proximity of this region to the east limb, 11598 will continue as
the target for the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 29-Oct-2012 at 14:00 UT is:
S11W31 ( 490", -249" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 11598 continues in
decay phase, maintaining spot area coverage but decreasing in number of
spots. This region is classified by NOAA as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot
group. 11598 has a strong polarity inversion line where numerous small
negative trailing spots encroach on the leading positive spot penumbra.
C-class activity is possible in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 28-Oct-2012 at 17:30 UT is:
S11W20, ( 320", -257" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11598 continues in decay phase, although only decreasing
slightly in spot area coverage and maintaining number of spots. This
region remains a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group classification from
NOAA, due to the penumbra of one of the small trailing negative spots
now touching the penumbra of the large leading positive spot. 11598
has only produced one C-class event since yesterday's message (a C1.1
flare on 26-Oct-2012 at 15:49 UT). Further C-class activity is likely
in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 27-Oct-2012 at 13:00 UT is:
S12W03, ( 53", -280" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 11598 has continued to decay over the past 24 hours,
maintaining spot area while fragmenting and increasing number of spots.
This region has a NOAA designation as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group,
but the delta appears to have disappeared because the opposite polarity
regions have separated (i.e., it might now be a beta-gamma class). NOAA
11598 has only produced B-class activity in the past 24 hours. At this
time we are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign. C-class activity is
possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 26-Oct-2012 at 09:30 UT is:
S12E13, ( -209", -280" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 11598 is beginning to show signs of entering decay
phase, having decreased in number of spots and area coverage over the
previous 24 hours. This region has maintained a NOAA designation as a
beta-delta/D-type sunspot group, also showing a mixed polarity region
in its lower trailing spots. Although 11598 has only produced C-class
activity since the last message, the Major Flare Watch campaign will
remain in effect for another 24 hours due to the continued presence
of an evolving strong field gradient delta spot.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 25-Oct-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
S12E23, ( -369", -276" )
