MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1263 is a large E-type/beta-gamma region.
1263 was the source of several minor C-class events in the
past 24 hour period. New flux rapidly developed in the trailing portion
of 1263 - current EFR location is N18W43. This new region is
too close to 1263 to consider it a separate region. C-class activity
expected today with an increasing chance of an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1263 on August 07 at 10:30 UT is:
N18W48 (Solar X = 670", Solar Y = 226")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1261,N14W73, continues in decay phase. The primary target
will switch to NOAA 1263. 1263 is mostly unchanged
maintaining its beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 1263
was the source of most of the C-class activity but the largest C-class
event was a C4.1 at 08/06/08:47 UT produced by recently
emerged NOAA 1267 (S17E17). 1267 currently has a very
small magnetic delta configuration located in its leading
sunspot. 1267 should produce additional C-class events today.
Target region, 1263, could be the source of an isolated
M-class event in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 1263 on August 06 at 15:30 UT is:
N16W40 (Solar X = 586", Solar Y = 185")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1261 rapidly decayed losing most of its magnetic
complexity after the major M9 event yesterday
but was still able to produce several C-class events in the
past 24 hour period. Another major flare is unlikely at this
time. NOAA 1263, N17W24, has also decayed somewhat.
Both regions currently have a beta-gamma magnetic classification.
It is possible that 1261 and/or 1263 could produce
an isolated M-class event in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 1261 on August 05 at 10:30 UT is:
N15W55 (Solar X = 749", Solar Y = 188")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1261, was the source of another significant
event - M9.3 today peaking at 03:57 UT. Another major flare is
possible as long as 1261 maintains a complex beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration. 1263, N17W12, is currently a
beta-gamma-delta region with the potential to produce an
M-class flare. 1261 will continue to be the primary target.
The position of NOAA 1261 on August 04 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W43 (Solar X = 621", Solar Y = 190")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1261, was the source of a significant
M6.0 event at 08/03/13:48 UT. 1261 also produced an M1.1
event at 08/03/03:37 UT. NOAA 1263, N17E02, was the source
region of an M1.7 event at 08/03/04:32 UT. Both regions
currently remain magnetically complex and are capable of producing
further M-class events in the next few days.
The target region will continue to be 1261.
The position of NOAA 1261 on August 03 at 10:30 UT is:
N15W27 (Solar X = 416", Solar Y = 160")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1261, was the source of numerous
C-class events and a long duration M1.4 event at 08/02/06:19 UT.
A fast Earth directed CME was associated with this event.
1261 is mostly unchanged preserving a beta-gamma-delta
magnetic configuration. 1261 has the potential to produce
an event =>M5 in the next few days if it maintains its
current magnetic configuration. It is possible NOAA 1263
located just to the east (N17E15) of 1261 may produce
an isolated M-class event as well. 1263 is also classified
beta-gamma-delta.
The position of NOAA 1261 on August 02 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W14 (Solar X = 220", Solar Y = 169")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Both NOAA regions 1261 and 1263 developed rapidly late in the
day yesterday. Both regions increased sunspot area and count
and magnetic complexity. Both regions have delta configurations.
1261 and 1263 produced numerous C-class events during the past
24 hour period. 1261 was the source of the largest C-class event
(C4.0 at 08/01/07:32 UT). Target region 1261 could produce
an isolated =>M5 event in the next 24 hour period.
1263, N18E28, is also capable of producing an M-class event today.
The position of NOAA 1261 on August 01 at 10:30 UT is:
N16W01 (Solar X = 015", Solar Y = 168")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1261 has slightly decayed following the M9 event on July 30th
but is currently maintaining its beta-gamma-delta magnetic
classification. Another major flare is less likely today but an
isolated M-class flare is possible in the next 24 hour period.
The Major Flare Watch for an event => M5 will continue for
at least another day. NOAA 1263, N18E39, also has the
potential to produce an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1261 on July 31 at 15:30 UT is:
N17E13 (Solar X = -204", Solar Y = 187")

MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region, NOAA 1260, decayed significantly and was mostly
quiet. NOAA 1261 developed significantly during the past 24 hour
period and was very active. 1261 was the source of numerous
C-class events and a major very impulsive M9.3 event
at 07/30/02:09 UT. 1261 added numerous new spots forming
an unusual circular pattern with a beta-gamma-delta magnetic
configuration. The target will switch from 1260
to 1261. There is a chance for another =>M5 event.
The position of NOAA 1261 on July 30 at 15:30 UT is:
N16E24 (Solar X = -370", Solar Y = 178")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 1260 has decayed slightly but is still classified as a
large E-type/beta-gamma sunspot group with a
possible delta configuration. 1260 will continue to produce C-class
events and an M-class event is still possible. Two
regions located to the east of 1260 (1261, N15E43 and 1263, N18E67)
have produced C-class events and could also be the source
of an M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1260 0n July 29 at 10:30 UT is:
N19E11 (Solar X = -171", Solar Y = 222")
