Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains steady around the low B-level. The target region
NOAA 11585 has shown some signs of growth and is bright in H-alpha
emission. Slight chance of increased activity over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11585 on 4-Oct-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S17E47, ( -672", -350" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiet-sun conditions continue with NOAA 11582 producing a single C1 flare
at 09:00 UT yesterday. The new region in the southeast quadrant has been
designated NOAA 11585 and shall remain the target region. It is classified
as a small beta region but is unlikely to produce any significant activity
at this time.
The position of NOAA 11585 on 3-Oct-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S16E58, ( -783", -319" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to low levels now that NOAA 11583 has rotated
over the western limb. The new target region shall be a small unnumbered
active region rotating on to the southeast limb. The region appears bright
in X-ray emission and may produce some isolated low-level events over the
next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the target region on 2-Oct-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S17E83, ( -908", -298" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity been elevated since the last message with NOAA 11583
producing several C-class flares including a C7.1 at 21:16 UT yesterday.
NOAA 11583 shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours with
additional C-level activity expected before it rotates behind the western
limb.
The position of NOAA 11583 on 1-Oct-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N12W91, ( 936", 199" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
A newly emerged active region on the north western limb, designated NOAA
11583, was the source of an M1 flare at 04:33 UT today and shall be the new
target region. The region is classified as having a beta configuration and
may produce further low to intermediate level events before it rotates over
the western limb.
The position of NOAA 11583 on 30-Sep-2012 at 12:00 UT is:
N13W82, ( 924", 198" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains below C-level. The target region NOAA 11579, now
classified as a beta region, continues to show signs of flux emergence and
is becoming increasingly bright in H-alpha. Chance of an isolated low-level
event if the region continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11579 on 29-Sep-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S09E15, ( -242", -258" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The Sun has produced two mid C-level flares in the past 24 hours: one from
NOAA 11579 and one due to a filament eruption from NOAA 11577. NOAA 11579
appears to be undergoing new flux emergence in the wake of the leading
sunspot and shall be the new target region. Chance for additional isolated
low-level events.
The position of NOAA 11579 on 28-Sep-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S10E28, ( -441", -265" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiescent solar conditions continue with the solar X-ray flux remaining
steady around the mid-B-level. A large alpha spot has appeared on the
southeast limb but has not resulted in any increased activity. NOAA 11580
shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours although no
significant increase in activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 11580 on 27-Sep-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N17E48, ( -682", 205" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. The target region on the northeast
limb has now been designated as NOAA 11580 and was the source of a C4.5
flare at 17:47 UT yesterday. The region is classified as a simple beta
region and may produce additional isolated low-level events over the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11580 on 26-Sep-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N17E62, ( -809", 226" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The new region on the southeast limb is now designated as NOAA 11579 but
has been relatively quiet since rotating on to the visible disk. Yet
another, as-yet unnumbered, region has since appeared on the northeast limb
producing a number of high B/low C-class flares, including a C3.6 flare at
04:24 UT today. The magnetic configuration of this new target region is
uncertain but further low-to-intermediate level events are expected.
The approximate position of the new target region on 25-Sep-2012 at 09:00
UT is:
N15E78, ( -906", 224" )
