MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is low. The largest event in the past
24 hour period was a C1.1 at 05/23/00:27. Its source
was target region NOAA 1484. 1484 has decayed
somewhat since the last message. Another minor
C-class event is possible in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1484 on May 23 at 13:00 UT is:
N10W53 (Solar X = 726", Solar Y = 181")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is very low. NOAA 1484 is mostly unchanged
within its trailing portion but has decayed within its leading portion.
1484 is maintaining weak mixed polarities and is currently
the brightest plage on the visible disk. A C-class event is possible
in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1484 on May 22 at 15:00 UT is:
N10W39 (Solar X = 589", Solar Y = 187")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1482, N15W52, is decaying and quiescent.
We'll switch back to NOAA 1484 today. 1484 increased penumbral
area in its following polarity. It has also developed some minor
polarity mixing. A C-class event is possible within the next 24
hours.
The position of NOAA 1484 on May 21 at 15:00 UT is:
N10W26 (Solar X = 410", Solar Y = 192")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1482, is mostly unchanged maintaining
a D-type/beta sunspot classification. Both 1482 and 1484, N10W13,
may produce an isolated C-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1482 on May 20 at 17:00 UT is:
N15W40 (Solar X = 590", Solar Y = 270")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region, NOAA 1484, is mostly unchanged and was quiet
since the last message. NOAA 1482 is also mostly unchanged
but did produce 2 small C-class events since the last message.
The largest was a C1.1 at 05/19/01:23 UT. We'll switch to
1482 for the next 24 hour period hoping to catch another
C-class event.
The position of NOAA 1482 on May 19 at 15:00 UT is:
N15W26 (Solar X = 402", Solar Y = 276")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at the C-level. With NOAA 11476 now over the limb,
the new target region shall be NOAA 11484 in the northeast quadrant. The
region is classified as a beta/D-type region and has shown rapid flux
emergence over the past 24 hours. Good chance of low-to-intermediate level
activity if the region continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11484 on 18-May-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N09E19, ( -306", 183" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region, NOAA 11476, produced an unexpected M5.1 flare at 01:30
UT today, which resulted in a >100 MeV proton storm. As the region is now
on the western limb further major flaring activity is unlikely. However,
NOAA 11476 shall remain the target region with a chance of producing
additional low-to-intermediate level activity before west limb passage.
The position of NOAA 11476 on 17-May-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N13W78, ( 905", 221" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels with C-class flares emanating from
active regions NOAA 11476, 11482, and 11484 over the past 24 hours. NOAA
11476 continues to decay and decrease in complexity as it approached the
western limb, and it shall remain the target region with additional
isolated C-level events expected.
The position of NOAA 11476 on 16-May-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
N10W62, ( 828", 184" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at the low C-level. NOAA 11476 continues to decay
and has now been reclassified as a beta-gamma region. Further isolated
low-level events expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11476 on 15-May-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N09W51, ( 735", 175" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to low levels. The target region, NOAA 11476,
continues to decay but remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta region. The
region has produced only low C-class events since the last message,
including a C4.1 flare at 07:14 UT today. Further intermediate level events
expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11476 on 14-May-2012 at 09:00 UT is:
N09W38, ( 582", 184" )
