Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The large active region in the northeast quadrant has now been
designated NOAA 11376, but has remained quiescent. NOAA 11367 on the
southwest limb has produced over a dozen low-C-class flares since the
last message and shall be the new target region for the next 24 hours.
Chance for further low level events before the region rotates over the
limb.
The position of NOAA 11367Â on 14-Dec-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
S18W89, ( 926", -301" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region in the northeast quadrant has remained quiescent
since the last message. The region comprises large areas of magnetic
plage but has no associated sunspots. No significant increase in
activity expected at this time.
The approximate position of the target region on 13-Dec-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N21E62, ( -808", 355" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at very low levels. NOAA 11374 has increased in
size and was the source of a single C1.2 flare at 08:30 UT today.
However, a large, unnumbered active region has rotated on to the
northeast limb and shall be the new target region. The magnetic
configuration of the region is unclear at this time, but it has the
potential for increased activity as it rotates on to the disk.
The approximate position of the target region on 12-Dec-2011 at 16:30 UT is:
N21E86, ( -908", 350" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. With NOAA 11363 now over the limb, the new
target region shall be NOAA 11374 in the southeast quadrant. The
region has an alpha configuration with a positive leader spot and has
produced two C1 flares since the last message. Chance for additional
isolated low-level events.
The position of NOAA 11374Â on 11-Dec-2011 at 10:47 UT is:
S17E35, ( -535", -280" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. The C3.1 flare at 13:05 UT
yesterday came from NOAA 11374 in the southeast quadrant. NOAA 11363
retains its beta configuration and shall continue to be the target
region. Slight chance of an isolated C-level event before west limb
passage.
The position of NOAA 11363Â on 10-Dec-2011 at 11:00 UT is:
S20W68, ( 851", -332" )

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")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
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")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
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")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
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")
