Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 continues to grow in both size and complexity and is now
classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region has produced 4 C-class
events since the last message, the largest being a C2.9 flare on 8-Jan-2012 at
03:21 UT. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours,
with a very
small chance for an isolated low M-class flare if flux emergence continues.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 8-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
N16W36, ( 553", 320" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Yesterday's newly emerged NOAA region 11393 has grown rapidly in size,
forming more substantial leading and following spots since its classification
was published on 7-Jan-2012 at 00:30 UT. This region has the potential to
produce C-class activity in the next 24 hours, particularly if flux emergence
continues.

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA region 11389 has
decayed significantly in the past 24 hours. The largest flare since the
last message was a C2.1 event on 5-Jan-2012 at 11:51 UT from NOAA
11392, classed as a beta/B-type sunspot group. Although this region is
primarily comprised of diffuse negative polarity plage field, positive flux
emergence was recorded during the two days prior to the C2.1 flare.
Further C-class activity possible if the region continues to add positive
flux.
The position of NOAA 11392 on 6-Jan-2012 at 11:30 UT is:
N21W25, ( 390", 402" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. NOAA region 11389 continues in
decay phase, showing a decrease in number of spots but maintaining
area coverage. This region is now classified as a beta/F-type sunspot
group, with C-class activity possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 5-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
S22W22, ( 340", -315" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11389 has decayed in area coverage and is now classified as
a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued to decrease in flare
productivity, producing only a B7.7 event (on 3-Jan-2012 at 20:50 UT) since
the last message. Further C-class activity is possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 4-Jan-2012 at 16:30 UT is:
S22W13, ( 203", -314" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. NOAA region 11389 appears
to be decaying, with decreased area and increased number of spots.
This region has been reclassified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot
group, but once again flare productivity has decreased in the past 24
hours. C-class activity is possible, with a small chance for an isolated
low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 3-Jan-2012 at 17:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11389 has produced only a
few high B- and low C-class events since the last message. This region
has maintained area, increased slightly in number of spots, and is now
classified as a beta/F-type sunspot group. Continued C-class activity is
expected, with a small chance for an M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 2-Jan-2012 at 13:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11389 has continued to be flare productive, being the source
of two M-class events since yesterday's message (M2.4 on 31-Dec-2011 at
13:09 UT and M1.5 on 31-Dec-2011 at 16:16 UT). This region has retained
a beta-gamma E-type sunspot group, despite decreasing in both area and
number of spots. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for an
additional M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 1-Jan-2012 at 16:00 UT is:

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11389 continues to increase in size and is now classified as a
beta-gamma region. The region has only produced a couple of low
C-class flares since the last message and has been quiescent since
00:00 UT. Still a chance for some intermediate level activity over the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 31-Dec-2011 at 10:00 UT is:
S23E38, ( -554", -346" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 11389 has produced three low M-class flares in
the past 24 hours, as well as several C-level events. Both leader
spots contain mixed polarities and the region continues to show signs
of flux emergence. Further C-level activity expected with a good
chance for additional M-class events.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 30-Dec-2011 at 11:00 UT is:
S23E51, ( -703", -355" )
