MM#003 Major Flare Watch

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

At this time we are implementing Max Millennium Coordinated Observing Plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce Major Flares). An active region located just behind the NE limb was the source of an M3.5 event at 02/24/07:31 UT. The region is too close to the east limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration. A major flare (M5 class event or greater) is possible.

The position of the target on February 24 at 07:30 UT is: N14E87 (Solar X = -940", Solar Y = 239")

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.

Regards,

Bill Marquette (Helio Research)
