Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at the low C-level with most events coming from NOAA
11535 over the past 24 hours. The target region NOAA 11538 remains
unchanged and quiescent but may still produce some low-level activity. If
possible also include NOAA 11539 in your field of view.
The position of NOAA 11538 on 4-Aug-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S22E23, ( -343", -439" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiescent solar conditions continue. The largest event since the last
message was a C2.8 flare at 05:51 UT today from NOAA 11539; a plage region
rotating on to the disk on the southeast limb. The target region NOAA 11538
continues to show signs of growth but retains its beta configuration.
Further low-level activity expected. If possible also include NOAA 11539 in
your field of view.
The position of NOAA 11538 on 3-Aug-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S23E38, ( -536", -440" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains steady at the low C-level with events emanating from
both NOAA 11538 and 11532/11536. As NOAA 11532 continues to decay NOAA
11538 shall be the new target region. NOAA 11538 is a beta/D-type region
and is showing signs of flux emergence in its trailing spot. Further
low-level activity expected with chance for an isolated intermediate level
flare.
The position of NOAA 11538 on 2-Aug-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S22E49, ( -662", -412" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels with several C-class flares
emanating from newly numbered active region NOAA 11538 in the southeast
quadrant. NOAA 11532/11536 also remains active but continues to show signs
of decay. NOAA 11532/11536 shall remain the target region for a further 24
hours with low-to-intermediate level activity expected.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 1-Aug-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S19W04, ( 64", -398" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The trailing portion of NOAA 11532 has now been designated as NOAA 11536.
The target region has shown signs of decay but was the source of an M1.1
event at 15:39 UT yesterday. We are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign
at this time but further C-level activity can be expected from the
11532/11536 complex, with chance of another isolated low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 31-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S19E09, ( -139", -396" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
A new region on the north east limb has been the source of several C-class
flares over the past 24 hours. The target region NOAA 11532 has been
relatively quiet but retains its large sunspot area with mixed polarities
in its core. Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect due to the
possibility of another >M5 event.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 30-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
S21E28, ( -415", -415" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11532 continues to develop and was the source of two M-class flares
since the last message, including an M6.7 at 20:56 UT. The region has a
strong delta spot at its core and a highly sheared polarity inversion line
in its leader spot. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch
campaign due to the increased likelihood of another >M5 flare.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 29-Jul-2012 at 00:30 UT is:
S22E47

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region, NOAA 11532, was the source of an M2.7 flare at 17:17 UT
yesterday. The region has a small sunspot area but comprises extended
bipolar plage with a highly sheared neutral line. Further low level
activity possible with chance for another isolated intermediate level
event.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 28-Jul-2012 at 07:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11530 has been quiescent over the past 24 hours while NOAA 11528 was
the source of a C5.0 event at 03:58 UT today. However a new region on the
south east limb, NOAA 11532, has produced several low-level events and
shall be the new target region. NOAA 11532 is currently classified as a
beta region and is likely to produce further B- and C-level activity.
The position of NOAA 11532 on 27-Jul-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
S20E61, ( -777", -363" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to low levels with the target region NOAA 11530
producing only B-level events in the past 24 hours. The region has been
reclassified as having a beta configuration and has shown some signs of
growth. Further low-level events likely with chance for an isolated C-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 11530 on 26-Jul-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
