MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1261 rapidly decayed losing most of its magnetic complexity after the major M9 event yesterday but was still able to produce several C-class events in the past 24 hour period. Another major flare is unlikely at this time. NOAA 1263, N17W24, has also decayed somewhat. Both regions currently have a beta-gamma magnetic classification. It is possible that 1261 and/or 1263 could produce an isolated M-class event in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 1261 on August 05 at 10:30 UT is: N15W55 (Solar X = 749", Solar Y = 188")

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.
