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")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1363 developed a weak magnetic delta configuration located
in the intermediate portion of its sunspot group. 1363 is
currently classified as an E-type/beta-gamma-delta region.
It was the source of only C-class activity in the past 24 hours.
The largest C-class event (C4.8 at 12/04/16:15 UT) was produced
by NOAA 1362, N08W15. C-class events probable with a chance
of an M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 04 at 13:00 UT is:
S23E13 (Solar X = -202", Solar Y = -389")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1363 continues in growth phase increasing
sunspot count, sunspot area, and now magnetic complexity.
1363 is now classified as an E-type/beta-gamma region and
it appears that a magnetic delta configuration might be developing.
1363 has only produced C-class activity in the past few days
but there is now an increasing chance of an M-class event.
If a strong delta configuration develops, there is a chance of
an M-class event = or >M5.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 03 at 16:00 UT is:
S23E24 (Solar X = -366", Solar Y = -390")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1363 increased its sunspot area and
count significantly in the past 24 hours. The region is still
classified as a D-type/beta region but further development
may result in increased magnetic complexity.
C-class activity probable with a slight chance of an isolated
M-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 on December 02 at 13:30 UT is:
S23E38 (Solar X = -553", Solar Y = -391")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
There are a few regions on the visible disk with the potential
to produce C-class events. Target region NOAA 1361 is mostly
unchanged and quiet in the past 24 hours. We'll switch to
NOAA 1363 located in the southeast quadrant. 1363 is currently
a D-type/beta region. A C-class event is possible in the next 24
hour period.
The position of NOAA 1363 0n December 01 at 13:30 UT is:
S23E52 (Solar X = -708", Solar Y = -390")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1361 is mostly unchanged maintaining a D-type
sunspot group with minor polarity mixing. A C-class
event is possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1361 on November 30 at 15:45 UT is:
N18W02 (Solar X = 032", Solar Y = 285")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
There were several C-class events in the past 24 hours.
The largest, a C3.2 at 11/28/18:30 UT, was produced
by NOAA 1261. 1261 has slowed development and is
currently classified as a D-type/beta region. C-class
activity possible in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 1361 on November 29 at 15:45 UT is:
N18E12 (Solar X = -193", Solar Y = 284")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Recently emerged NOAA 1361 has developed rapidly in
the past 24 hours and is showing signs of developing
magnetic complexity. It is currently a D-type/beta-gamma
region. The target will switch from 1356/1360 to 1361
for at least the next 24 hour period. C-class events
probable.
The position of NOAA 1361 on November 28 at 16:30 UT is:
N19E24 (Solar X = -375", Solar Y = 299")
