MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 26 Aug '23

26 Aug '23

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has decreased since the last message. The largest event was a C5.0 flare at 15:40 UT on 25-Aug-2023 from NOAA 13405. This region has been classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group, increasing in magnetic complexity. It also produced a low-C flare plus two B-class flares and continued to be the most flare-productive region. Today the target region shall switch to NOAA 13405. Yesterday’s target (NOAA 13415) was flare quiet although it was classified as a beta-delta/D-type. In addition, NOAA 13413 (beta/D-type, N11E09) and NOAA 13416 (alpha/H-type, S19E64) were also the sources of a few low-C and B-class flares. Additional C-class activities are expected from various regions in the next 24 hours with a slight chance of a low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13405 on 26-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT N10W82 (926", 147") 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 has reached a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was a M1.5 flare at 00:56 UT today from NOAA 13415. This region was still classified as a beta/D-type configuration and emerged a new sunspot. Today the target region shall switch to NOAA 13415. Yesterday’s target (NOAA 13413) has been quiescent over the period. Please note that NOAA 13405 (alpha/H-type, N09W68) and NOAA 13403 (N29W86) also produced several low-C and B-class flares. More C-class activities are expected from various regions in the next 24 hours with a slight chance of another low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13415 on 25-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT S09E42 (-629", -233") 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 has returned to low levels since the last message. Yesterday’s target (NOAA 13405) produced the largest event, a C3.9 flare at 13:54 UT on 23-Aug-2023, but it was downgraded to an alpha/H-type configuration. NOAA 13413 was the most productive in the period. It has been classified as a beta/F-type sunspot group and increased in sunspot area and emerged new spots. Today the target region will switch to NOAA 13413. In addition, NOAA 13415 (beta/D-type, S11E55) was also the source of a few low C-class and B-class flares. More C-class activities are probable in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13413 on 24-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT N10E39 (-589", 75") 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 has increased over the past 24 hours with an M1.1 flare at 22:35 UT on 22-Aug-2023 produced by NOAA 13405. This region also produced a C7.2 and several low-C flares. It increased in the number of spots and has been classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Today the target region will switch to NOAA 13405. Yesterday’s target was numbered as NOAA 13415 (alpha/H-type, S09E67) and was only the source of two low C-class flares. Further C-class activities are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for an additional low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13405 on 23-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT N09W40 (604", 60") 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 has reached an intermediate level. The largest event since the last message was a C5.7 flare at 23:47 UT on 21-Aug-2023 from the target region. This region remains the highest frequency of flaring and has also produced 5 low-C flares. It shows a high and increasing current helicity. Today the target region shall continue at this region. Please note that NOAA 13413 (N10E66, alpha/H-type) and NOAA 13405 (N10W27, alpha/H-type) also produced several low-C flares. Additional C-class activities are probable in the next 24 hours. The approximate position of the target on 22-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT S09E88 (-900", -200") 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 remains at low levels. The largest event since the last message was a C4.4 flare at 07:35 UT today from a southeast limb region (unnumbered yet). This region also produced 6 low-C flares and was the most productive. Today the target region will switch to this limb region because of its recent higher frequency of flaring. Yesterday’s target NOAA 13409 (N22W77, beta/B-type) has only produced a low-C flare with signs of decay. In addition, some active regions (NOAA 13406, NOAA 13407, NOAA 13403) and another unnumbered region (N09E82) also produced a few low-C flares. More C-class activities are probable in the following 24-hour period. The approximate position of the target on 21-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is: S09E87 (-900", -150") 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 has continued at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.7 from NOAA 13409 at 06:43 UT today. No further activity has been produced from the target region since the last message and it appears to have further diminished in size. NOAA 13409 is currently classified as a beta type region and appears in close proximity to NOAA 13403. The target region will switch to NOAA 13409 for the next 24 hours with potential for further C-class activity in this region. The position of NOAA 13409 on 20-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is: N22W63, (784",305") 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 has continued at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C5.8 from NOAA 13406 at 06:40 UT today. No further activity was produced from target region NOAA 13405 in the last 24 hours, this region has retained its beta configuration. NOAA 13405 will remain the target region for a further 24 hours with a slight chance of C-class activity. The position of NOAA 13405 on 19-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is: N11E18, (-288",74") 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 remains at a low level since the last message. A small number of C-class flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C5.1 from NOAA 13397 on the northwest limb at 12:14 UT yesterday. Target region NOAA 13405 also produced a C3.1 flare at 02:40 UT today. NOAA 13405 continues to retain its beta type configuration and the sunspot area has slightly diminished since the last message. NOAA 13405 will remain the target region for a further 24 hours with a slight chance of C-class activity. The position of NOAA 13405 on 18-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is: N11E31, (-480",85") 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 has remained at a low level since the last message. A small number of low C-class flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a partially occulted C3.6 from NOAA 13394 at 02:20 UT today. No further activity has been produced from target region NOAA 13405 since the last message and it retains its beta configuration. However, the total sunspot area appears to have increased as it moves further onto the disk. NOAA 13405 will remain the target region for a further 24 hours with a slight chance of C-class activity. The position of NOAA 13405 on 17-Aug-2023 at 11:30 UT is: N10E44 (-650",84") 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.
