Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The Max Millennium MOTD will continue as usual throughout the
RHESSI detector annealing. For details, see
http://solar.physics.montana.edu/hypermail/mmscience/0830.html
Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA region 11401 has
continued to be flare productive, being the source of several
C-class events and an M1.0 event on 17-Jan-2012 at 04:41 UT.
This region has increased in area while maintaining number of
spots and is now classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group.
Further C-class activity is expected, with a small chance for
another low M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 17-Jan-2012 at 10:30 UT is:
N17E45, ( -664", 339" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA regions 11401 and 11402 have rotated fully onto the visible disk.
NOAA 11401 is classed as a beta/D-type sunspot group and continues to
produce C-class activity (the largest being a C5.5 on 16-Jan-2012 at
10:31 UT). More C-class events are expected, with a small chance for
a low M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11401 on 16-Jan-2012 at 11:30 UT is:
N17E54, ( -753", 330" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Several new regions have appeared on disk including NOAA regions
11401 and 11402 that are most likely the return of previous NOAA
regions 11383 and 11384, respectively. NOAA 11401 has produced
several C-class flares and an M1.4 flare on 14-Jan-2012 at 13:14
UT. Further C-class events are expected, with a small chance for
another M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11401 on 15-Jan-2012 at 10:30 UT is:
N15E67, ( -870", 281" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Recently emerged NOAA region 11396 continues to grow in area and
complexity and is now classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group.
This region was the source of an H-alpha flare on 13-Jan-2012 at
16:54 UT and a C2.1 flare on 14-Jan-2012 at 03:19 UT. Further
C-class activity is probable.
The position of NOAA 11396 on 14-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
N26E12, ( -184", 494" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11393 has completely rotated over the West limb. New
region NOAA 11396 has shown quite rapid growth in the past
24 hours. However, the new target will be NOAA 11391 which
has shown previous C-class activity (including a C2.2 flare
on 13-Jan-2012 at 06:01 UT). Further C-class events are
possible.
The position of NOAA 11391 on 13-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
N12W50, ( 737", 249" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 is currently rotating over the West limb and is
classed as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region has continued
to produce C-class events, with the largest being a long duration
(and possibly partly occulted) C2.3 flare starting on 12-Jan-2012
at 07:47 UT. Further C-class events are probable before 11393 has
completely rotated over the limb.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 12-Jan-2012 at 12:00 UT is:
N16W90, ( 937", 268" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 continues to produce C-class events as it
approaches the West limb, the largest being a C3.7 flare on
11-Jan-2012 at 04:31 UT. This region has maintained a beta-
gamma/E-type sunspot group classification. Further C-class
activity is expected, with a small chance for an isolated
low M-class event before the region rotates over the limb.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 11-Jan-2012 at 09:30 UT is:
N17W75, ( 903", 302" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 continues to be flare productive, being the source of two
low C-class events since the last message. This region is now classified as
a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and continues to grow in area. Further
C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a small chance for
an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 10-Jan-2012 at 12:30 UT is:
N15W64, ( 847", 281" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 has continued to produce C-class activity and is classed
as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region continues to grow in complexity
and spot area, doubling in size since the previous message. Further C-class
activity is probable, with a small chance for an M-class event if
additional flux
emerges.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 9-Jan-2012 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W51, ( 728", 309" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA region 11393 continues to grow in both size and complexity and is now
classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region has produced 4 C-class
events since the last message, the largest being a C2.9 flare on 8-Jan-2012 at
03:21 UT. Further C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours,
with a very
small chance for an isolated low M-class flare if flux emergence continues.
The position of NOAA 11393 on 8-Jan-2012 at 11:00 UT is:
N16W36, ( 553", 320" )
