Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
A newly emerged region along the southern central meridian, NOAA
11247, was the source of four C-class flares yesterday and shall be
the new target region for today. The region has a bipolar
configuration and has emerged into the remains of NOAA 11234 from the
previous rotation. Good chance for further B- and C-level activity.
The position of NOAA 11247 on 9-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is:
S18E05, ( -83", -350" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 11244, now on the western limb, was the source of several B-class
events since the last message, while the C3.0 flare at 09:39 UT today
emanated from the decaying active region in the southern hemisphere
(the return of NOAA 11234). The newly emerged region in the northeast
quadrant, now designated NOAA 11245, shall remain the target region
for a further 24 hours. Further low-level events possible.
The position of NOAA 11245 on 8-Jul-2011 at 12:30 UT is:
N15E51, ( -709", 208" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Apologies for the additional email. A newly emerging active region in
the northeast quadrant was the source of a B6.3 flare at 11:05 UT
today. This will now be ROSA's target region for today. The region is
too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration but it
appears to be developing rapidly. Good chance for increased activity
over the next 24 hours if the region continues to develop.
The position of the target region on 7-Jul-2011 at 11:00 UT is:
N15E67, (-840", 222" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains steady at the B1 level. NOAA 11244 is now too
close to the solar limb for ROSA to observe. The target region shall
therefore revert to NOAA 11243. This region has been quiescent for the
past few days but has undergone some flux emergence over the past 24
hours and is now classified as a beta-gamma region. Chance for an
isolated low-level event before it also reaches the western limb.
The position of NOAA 11243 on 7-Jul-2011 at 04:30 UT is:
N15W52, ( 717", 210" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Today we are switching to Max Millennium Observing Plan #017 in
support of coordinated flare observations between ROSA (Rapid
Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere), and other space- and
ground-based instruments.
Solar activity continues at very low levels. NOAA 11244 has been the
source of a few low B-class events since the last message and shall
continue to be the target region. The region appears to be decaying as
it approaches the western limb but may produce further low-level
events before west limb passage. Please include the filament to the
north of the region in your field of view as well if possible.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 6-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is:
N15W73, ( 871", 228" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels. The target region NOAA
11244 retains its beta-gamma configuration and has shown some signs of
growth, although it has only managed to produce a few low B-class
events. Chance of some increased activity before the region reaches
the western limb. If possible, please include the large filament to
the north in your field of view.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 5-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is:
N16W59, ( 777", 233" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The new target region NOAA 11244 was the source of several B-class
flares, as well as a C2.1 flare, since the last message. The region is
now classified as a beta-gamma region and has a large filament
structure to the north. Further B- and C-level activity possible.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 4-Jul-2011 at 09:00 UT is:
N16W43, ( 620", 223" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The B9.5 flare at 00:01 UT today was
produced by a newly emerging region in the northwest quadrant which
has been designated NOAA 11244 and which shall be the new target
region. The region is currently classified as a beta region and is
likely to produce further B-level activity with chance for an isolated
C-class flare if it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 3-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N15W29, ( 450", 202" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The target region NOAA 11243 remains
quiescent but has developed a pronounced leader spot. Only minor
activity expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 11243 on 2-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N17E17, ( -258", 231" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 11243 has produced
several B-class flares over the past 12 hours and shall become the new
target region. The region comprises a pair of sunspots each with
extended magnetic plage. Further B-level activity likely with chance
for an isolated low C-class flare if the region continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11243 on 1-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N16E31, ( -462", 221" )
