Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at intermediate levels. The new active region on the southeast limb, now designated NOAA 11389, has produced several C-class flares since the last message. The region appears to comprise two large sunspots with a steep magnetic gradient along the polarity inversion line. Further C-level activity expected with chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11389 on 29-Dec-2011 at 09:00 UT is:
S20E64, ( -828", -316" )
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.
