Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 11598 has continued to decay over the past 24 hours, maintaining spot area while fragmenting and increasing number of spots. This region has a NOAA designation as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group, but the delta appears to have disappeared because the opposite polarity regions have separated (i.e., it might now be a beta-gamma class). NOAA 11598 has only produced B-class activity in the past 24 hours. At this time we are ending the Major Flare Watch campaign. C-class activity is possible over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 11598 on 26-Oct-2012 at 09:30 UT is:
S12E13, ( -209", -280" )
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.
