MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, now numbered NOAA 1375, failed to develop
and was quiet since the last message. The target will switch
back to NOAA 1363. 1363 is slowly decaying. No significant
solar flare activity expected in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 09 at 12:00 UT is:
S23W50 (Solar X = 689", Solar Y = -380")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1363 continues to slowly decay and was quiescent in the
past 24 hours. The target will switch to a new compact region
located near the northeast limb. The region is too close to the
limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration but is currently
bright H-alpha plage. This region was the source of two
C-class events since the last message. The largest was
a C2.7 at 12/07/20:13 UT. Additional C-class events possible
in the next 24 hour period.
The approximate position of the target on December 08 at 12:00 UT is:
N07E78 (Solar X = -947", Solar Y = 119")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity has been at a very low level in the past
24 hours. Target region NOAA 1363 continues to decay.
It is currently classified as an E-type/beta region.
A C-class event is possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 07 at 15:45 UT is:
S22W29 (Solar X = 439", Solar Y = -367")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1363 continues to slowly decay but still retains
its E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group classification.
1363 was the source of three C-class events in the past 24 hours.
The largest was a C6.9 at 12/05/23:25 UT. C-class activity
probable with a slight chance of an M-class event in the next 24
hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 06 at 16:00 UT is:
S23W14 (Solar X = 218", Solar Y = -385")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1363 has decayed slightly losing its magnetic delta
configuration but it retains its beta-gamma classification
with an E-type sunspot group. Despite its complex magnetic
configuration and large size, 1363 has been unable to
produce a single M-class event. C-class activity probable
with a slight chance of an M-class event in the next 24 hour
period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 05 at 14:00 UT is:
S23W01 (Solar X = 015", Solar Y = -387")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1363 developed a weak magnetic delta configuration located
in the intermediate portion of its sunspot group. 1363 is
currently classified as an E-type/beta-gamma-delta region.
It was the source of only C-class activity in the past 24 hours.
The largest C-class event (C4.8 at 12/04/16:15 UT) was produced
by NOAA 1362, N08W15. C-class events probable with a chance
of an M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 04 at 13:00 UT is:
S23E13 (Solar X = -202", Solar Y = -389")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1363 continues in growth phase increasing
sunspot count, sunspot area, and now magnetic complexity.
1363 is now classified as an E-type/beta-gamma region and
it appears that a magnetic delta configuration might be developing.
1363 has only produced C-class activity in the past few days
but there is now an increasing chance of an M-class event.
If a strong delta configuration develops, there is a chance of
an M-class event = or >M5.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 03 at 16:00 UT is:
S23E24 (Solar X = -366", Solar Y = -390")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1363 increased its sunspot area and
count significantly in the past 24 hours. The region is still
classified as a D-type/beta region but further development
may result in increased magnetic complexity.
C-class activity probable with a slight chance of an isolated
M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 02 at 13:30 UT is:
S23E38 (Solar X = -553", Solar Y = -391")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
There are a few regions on the visible disk with the potential
to produce C-class events. Target region NOAA 1361 is mostly
unchanged and quiet in the past 24 hours. We'll switch to
NOAA 1363 located in the southeast quadrant. 1363 is currently
a D-type/beta region. A C-class event is possible in the next 24
hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 0n December 01 at 13:30 UT is:
S23E52 (Solar X = -708", Solar Y = -390")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1361 is mostly unchanged maintaining a D-type
sunspot group with minor polarity mixing. A C-class
event is possible in the next 24 hour period.
