MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target EFR, now numbered NOAA 1214, only produced one
B-class event since the last message. The largest
event (C1.3 at 05/15/14:25 UT) was produced by NOAA 1208.
1208 was also the source ot two B-class events.
We'll switch to 1208 today with a possible switch
back to 1214 (currently located at S24E08) tomorrow.
There is additional new flux emerging just to the east
of 1214 at S24E15.
The position of NOAA 1208 on May 15 at 10:00 UT is:
N10W43 (Solar X = 640", Solar Y = 197")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level. There is an
emerging flux region located in the southeast quadrant.
The EFR is currently displaying a beta magnetic configuration,
bright H-alpha plage and a small arch-type filament system.
We'll switch to the EFR from the spotless plage/filament target
today. Only minor solar flare activity is expected at this time.
The position of the target region on May 14 at 10:15 UT is:
S24E21 (Solar X = -312", Solar Y = -348")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level.
All regions on the visible solar disk are stable
or in decay phase. The target will be the spotless
plage located in the NE quadrant. This spotless
region was the source of the C5.4 event on May 9
and the C1.8 event on May 12. The filament located
along the region's main magnetic inversion line that
was associated with the C1.8 event has reformed.
There is only a very slight chance of another C-class
event from the target region in the next 24 hours.
The position of the target region on May 13 at 13:00 UT is:
N17E44 (Solar X = -633", Solar Y = 311")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
All regions with sunspots on the visible disk are mostly unchanged
or decaying. The spotless unnumbered region located at
approximately N20E61 was the source of a C1.8 x-ray event at
05/12/12:15 UT. The event was most likely associated with
a filament eruption. No significant solar flare events are expected
in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1210 on May 12 at 10:30 UT is:
N19W27 (Solar X = 409", Solar Y = 351")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region has completed east limb passage.
It is a large spotless plage. The target will switch back
to NOAA 1210. No significant solar flare activity
expected today.
The position of NOAA 1210 on May 11 at 10:30 UT is:
N20W12 (Solar X = 186", Solar Y = 373")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The target region produced one C-class event since the
last message (C1.5 at 05/09/17:41 UT). The region is
mostly unchanged. The largest x-ray event yesterday
was a C5.4 at 05/09/20:59 UT. The source region was
located behind the NE limb. The target of choice will
switch to the NE region today. Another C-class event
is possible.
The position of the NE limb region on May 10 at 12:15 UT is:
N17E89 (Solar X = -909", Solar Y = 278")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity remained at a very low level yesterday.
1204 continues in decay phase. The target will switch
to a new region emerging within the leading portion of
old NOAA 1190. 1190 was the source of numerous
C-class events and a low-level M-class event last rotation.
The EFR target is rapidly developing a cluster of small
sunspots and has bright H-alpha plage. B-class events
expected and if development continues there is a chance
of a C-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of the target EFR on May 09 at 10:00 UT is:
N20E15 (Solar X = -232", Solar Y = 376")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level.
NOAA 1204 was the source region of a tiny
B4.4 event at 05/08/10:08 UT. 1204 is now in
decay phase with significant decay in its trailing
portion. A rather strong EFR is located in the NE
quadrant at N12E55. It currently has a simple beta
magnetic configuration. No significant solar flare
activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 1204 on May 08 at 15:30 UT is:
N17W36 (Solar X = 535", Solar Y = 322")

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity continues at a very low level.
NOAA 1204 is mostly unchanged maintaining a
