Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Yesterday's target region (NOAA 11330) has continued to decrease
in both size and number of spots. A new and currently unnumbered
region has rotated over the North-East limb, producing an M1.1 flare
on 31-Oct-2011 at 14:55 UT. Proximity to the limb prevents accurate
determination of its magnetic classification, but the region is bipolar.
C-class activity is expected, with a chance for another M-class event.
The approximate position of this region on 31-Oct-2011 at 16:30 UT is:
N18E71, ( -869", 275" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar flare activity remains low. Target region NOAA 11330
has maintained its number of spots and decreased in area. This region
was the source of a C2.5 flare on 30-Oct-2011 at 09:11 UT, and is now
classified as an F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. Continued C-class
activity is possible, with a small chance for an M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11330 on 30-Oct-2011 at 14:00 UT is:
N07W30, ( 478", 51" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. Target region NOAA 11330 has
increased in number of spots and marginally decreased in area, while
retaining an E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group classification. Most of
these changes are due to the decay of the trailing spot group. C-class
activity is possible, with a slight chance of an M-class event if opposite
polarity flux continues emerging on the North-East edge of the primary
leading spot.
The position of NOAA 11330 on 29-Oct-2011 at 14:00 UT is:
N04W17, ( 279", -8" )

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1330 has new opposite polarity flux
emerging just to the northeast of its large leader sunspot.
The region's sunspot group is now classified E-type/beta-gamma.
If development continues, it could result in M-class activity.
Former target NOAA 1324 (N21W61) has switched
from decay phase to growth phase and was the source
of two C-class events. Recently emerged NOAA 1333
(N16E03) has a beta-gamma magnetic configuration
with the potential to produce C-class events.
Target region 1330 is expected to produce C-class activity
with the chance of M-class activity if development continues.
The position of NOAA 1330 on October 28 at 15:45 UT is:
N08W04 (Solar X = 066", Solar Y = 055")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level. NOAA 1330
is mostly unchanged maintaining some mixed polarity.
C-class event possible with a slight chance of an isolated
M-class event ion the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1330 on October 27 at 15:30 UT is:
N09E09 (Solar X = -149", Solar Y = 071")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1324 was the source of a C1.2 event at 10/26/10:01 UT. 1324
has experienced significant decay but still could
produce another C-class event. The target will switch to
the large sunspot in the northeast (NOAA 1330). 1330
has developed a few new small sunspots in the past 24
hours. C-class events possible with a very slight chance
of an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1330 on October 26 at 15:45 UT is:
N08E22 (Solar X = -359", Solar Y = 057")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is currently at a very low level.
NOAA 1324 is mostly unchanged since the last message.
There is a chance of a C-class event from target
region 1324 and/or NOAA 1330 (N08E35).
The position of NOAA 1324 on October 25 at 16:15 UT is:
N12W23 (Solar X = 370", Solar Y = 124")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1324 is slowly decaying but still maintaining its beta-gamma
magnetic configuration. C-class events possible with a very slight
chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1324 on October 24 at 16:45 UT is:
N12W10 (Solar X = 164", Solar Y = 117")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1324 has continued in slow decay phase but is still
an E-type/beta-gamma region. C-class events possible
with a slight chance of an M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1324 on October 23 at 16:15 UT is:
N10E04 (Solar X = -066", Solar Y = 081")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1324 has decayed slightly but it still maintains an
E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. The largest event
in the past 24 hours was a long-duration M1.3 at 10/22/11:10 UT.
Its source region was again beyond the northwest limb
located in the vicinity of NOAA 1314 at N27. Target
region 1324 should continue to produce C-class events
with a slight possibility of an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1324 on October 22 at 17:15 UT is:
N10E17 (Solar X = -278", Solar Y = 083")
