MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 2671 (N11W26) was the source of numerous B- and C-class events since the last message but target region, NOAA 2672, was the source of the largest event of the period (C3.0 at 08/21/17:57 UT). Both regions are somewhat decaying but 2671 is still maintaining its large F-type/beta-gamma sunspot group and 2672 is still an E-type/beta-gamma-delta group.The magnetic delta configuration is located within the trailing portion. At this time we will continue to target 2672 for at least the next 24 hour period. B- and C-class events expected with a slight chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours with also a chance of B- and C-class activity from 2671.

The position of NOAA 2672 on August 22 at 16:00 UT is: N07E52 (Solar X = -744", Solar Y = 045")
