MM#009 Default Target
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a moderate level. Two low M-class flares, an M1.9 at 02:02 UT and M1.2 at 02:23 UT today, were produced by NOAA 13852. 13852 retains a beta-gamma/D-type configuration but increases in the spot area and number of spots. Today the target will switch to this region. If possible, please also include NOAA 13854 (S05W22, beta-gamma/E-type) in the field of view. Yesterday's target NOAA 13848 has almost rotated beyond the west limb. Additional low M-class activity is probable in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13852 on October 15 at 07:30 UT is: S10W27 (431", -252") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity was at a moderate level. NOAA 13848 produced an M3.4 flare at 00:04 UT and an M1.8 flare at 13:22 UT today plus seven C-class flares when it was rotating over the west limb. This region retains a beta-gamma/D-type configuration and will be today's target. Yesterday's target NOAA 13854 increases in the sunspot area and number of spots and has been designated as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration. However, it only produced three ~C2 flares since the last message. Additional low M-class activity is likely from the limb target 13848 before it rotates beyond the west limb. The position of NOAA 13848 on October 14 at 15:30 UT is: N13W88 (936", 211") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity remains at a low-moderate level. A number of flares were produced, the largest being two C5.7s from NOAA 13850 and NOAA 13848 at 19:38 UT and 06:41 UT, respectively. NOAA 13854 shows some minor sunspot dynamism, however it also shows signs of decay. NOAA 13854 will remain the target region. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for low level M-class activity in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13854 on 13-October-2024 at 07:30 UT is: S05E03, (-50",-183") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a low to moderate level. Several flares were produced, the largest being an M2.1 from NOAA 13854 at 16:07 UT yesterday. NOAA 13854 has shown signs of dynamic sunspot behaviour and exists in close proximity to NOAA 13852. NOAA 13854 is classified as a beta-gamma type region. Given the dormant nature of NOAA 13848, the Major Flare Watch is ending at this time and the target region is now switched to NOAA 13854. Further C- and M-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13854 on 12-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S04E13, (-216",-165") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has further reduced since the last message. A number of flares were produced, the largest being a partially occulted M3.0 from NOAA 13844 at 21:54 UT yesterday. NOAA 13848 has remained dormant and relatively stable since the last message despite being the largest and most complex region on the disk. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be the final 24 hours with NOAA 13848 as the target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13848 on 11-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N13W46, (675",146") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a moderate-high level since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an X1.4 on the southwest limb from NOAA 13843 at 15:44 UT yesterday. Additionally an M7.7 was produced from NOAA 13844 at 22:59 UT yesterday. Neither of these regions remain on the disk. NOAA 13848 has been quiet since the last message, however it remains the largest and most complex region on the disk. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for a further 24 hours with NOAA 13848 as the target region - attention should also be paid to NOAA 13852 as this region has shown notable sunspot dynamism in the last 24 hours. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a chance for an isolated >M5 event. The position of NOAA 13848 on 10-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N12W32, (499",113") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity is at a moderate-high level. An X1.8 flare was produced from NOAA 13848 at 01:25 UT today. NOAA 13848 is classified as a beta-gamma-delta now with a sunspot area of 600 μh. This region contains a substantial leading spot, however the behaviour of this region is relatively stable. This region does show signs of significant flux. At this time we are extending the Major Flare Watch and switching the target region to NOAA 13848. Further C- and M-class activity is likely, with a chance for further >M5 activity in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13848 on 9-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N12W18, (291",101") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has increased since the last message. NOAA 13842 produced an X2.2 flare at 19:02 UT yesterday. An X1.0 flare was also produced at 19:50 UT yesterday and attributed to NOAA 13844, which is in close proximity to NOAA 13842. NOAA 13842 is now situated on the southwest limb. NOAA 13842 will remain the target region until it passes fully beyond the disk. However, attention should also be paid to NOAA 13848 - a beta-gamma-delta region with a sunspot area of 770 μh. The Major Flare Watch will remain active. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for further (potentially partially occulted) >M5 flares in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 8-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15W70, (872",-282") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has slightly reduced since the last message. A number of flares were produced, the largest being an M1.6 attributed to NOAA 13839 (this may also be associated with NOAA 13842) at 20:52 UT today. Since the last message, NOAA 13842 has continued its approach of the southwest limb. At this time, this region still shows signs of strong flux, however the associated spot activity appears relatively stable. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be the final 24 hours as NOAA 13842 embarks on its transit of the southwest limb. Additional C- and M-class activity is expected with a small chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 7-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S16W57, (775",-319") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity remains at a moderate-high level. Several flares were produced, the largest being an M2.4 from NOAA 13842 at 23:10 UT yesterday. While no large flares were produced in the last 24 hours, NOAA 13842 has continued to grow in area, reaching 1040 μh as it begins its transit of the southwest limb. Significant flux is present surrounding this region. The Major Flare Watch will be extended while NOAA 13842 remains on the disk. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 6-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S14W42, (624",-308") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
