MM#003 Major Flare Watch
by Max Millennium Chief Observer 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has continued at a moderate-high level. Several flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.2 from NOAA 13485 at 22:04 UT yesterday. NOAA 13842 has now reached an area of 710 μh and continues to show significant sunspot dynamism. Equally, NOAA 13844, another beta-gamma-delta region, has shown significant development in the last 24-48 hours, reaching an area of 660 μh and also showing very dynamic sunspot behaviour. Both of these regions are approaching the southwest limb. The Major Flare Watch will remain active with NOAA 13842 as the target region, but close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13844. The position of NOAA 13842 on 5-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S14W29, (452",-323") 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 remains at a moderate-high level. The largest flare of the last 24 hours was an M6.7 from NOAA 13843 at 20:09 UT yesterday. NOAA 13842 did not produce another flare since the last message. However, this region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta and now has an area of 530 μh, while showing continual sunspot development. The Major Flare Watch will remain active with NOAA 13842 as the target region. Close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13843 and 13844 as these regions have developed in complexity. The position of NOAA 13842 on 4-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15W15, (240",-349") 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

03 Oct '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity has reached a high level. NOAA 13842 produced an X9.0 at 12:08 UT today as well as several M-class flares. NOAA 13842 has grown in area, now reaching 380 μh. This region also continues to show significant sunspot dynamism and flux. The Major Flare watch will remain active. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for an additional >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 3-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15W01, (16",-354") 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 slightly increased since the last message. NOAA 13842 was the source of an X7.1 flare at 21:58 UT yesterday. This region continues to show dynamic sunspot activity and has increased in area to 300 μh. The Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13842 as the target region. Further M-class activity is possible with a chance for an additional >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 2-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15E11, (-177",-352") 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

01 Oct '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a moderate level. A number of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M7.7 from NOAA 13842 at 23:37 UT yesterday. NOAA 13842 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta and has shown significantly elevated sunspot dynamism since the last message. This region also shows signs of significant flux. At this time we are initiating a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 13842 as the target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for further isolated >M5 activity in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 1-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15E24, (-377",-346") 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 moderate. Several flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.8 from NOAA 13842 at 14:09 UT yesterday. NOAA 13482 has now developed into a beta-gamma-delta type region with a sunspot area of 230 μh. Currently, NOAA 13482 shows steady sunspot behaviour, however the development of this region should be closely monitored over the next 24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance for additional M-class activity in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 30-September-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S15E38, (-571",-332") 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#009 Default Target

29 Sep '24

Dear Collaborators, Solar activity continues at a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.0 flare at 12:49 UT today from an unnumbered region (S10E23), which emerged a bipolar sunspot group. This M1.0 flare was superimposed on the gradual phase of a long-duration C5.6 flare at 07:46 UT produced by a region currently beyond the South East limb (N14E88). The eastern part of the target region has been renumbered as NOAA 13842 and has been confirmed as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group, with an area of 220 MSH. Today the default target region will remain with NOAA 13842 due to its overall size and prior flaring history. Further C-class activities are expected, with a chance of another low-M flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13842 on 29-Sep-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S14E50 (-713", -301") 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 returned to a low level in the past 24 hours. The target region NOAA 13839 was still the most productive region. It was the source of five C-class flares, with the largest magnitude being a C6.3 at 14:14 UT yesterday. 13839 has been reclassified as a beta/F-type magnetic configuration as it rotates further onto the solar disk. In addition, NOAA 13836 (S12E11, beta-gamma/D-type) and NOAA 13835 (S22W06, beta/D-type) also produced three C3 flares. Further C-class activities are expected, with a low-M flare likely in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13839 on 28-Sep-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S14E56 (-771", -292") 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 continues at a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.4 flare at 22:58 UT yesterday produced by the previous limb region. This region also produced an M1.0 flare plus eight C-class flares, numbered as NOAA 13839. It has been classified as an alpha/H-type configuration but its proximity to the limb hampers accurate classification. 13839 should become the new target due to its current level of flaring. Yesterday’s target region NOAA 13836 (S10E24, beta-gamma/D-type) only shows some brightenings in EUV images. Further C-class activities are expected, with a chance of an isolated low-M flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13839 on 27-Sep-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S14E66 (-849", -275") 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 to a moderate level. Three regions produced >C5 flares since the last message. NOAA 13828 (S11W55, alpha/H-type) produced the largest event - an M1.3 flare at 22:57 UT yesterday. An unnumbered region near the South East limb (S12E82) was also the source of a C5.2 flare at 11:50 UT today. NOAA 13836 produced a long-duration C9.6 flare at 14:41 UT yesterday. It retains a beta-gamma/D-type magnetic configuration and became the most productive region. Today's target region shall switch to 13836 because of its high magnetic complexity and flaring productivity. Yesterday’s target region NOAA 13835 (S22E17, beta-gamma/D-type) has been flare quiet in the period. Further C-class activities are expected, with another low-M flare probable in the following 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13836 on 26-Sep-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S10E38 (-582", -255") 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.
