Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Quiet-Sun conditions continue. NOAA 12544 has remained quiescent since the last message and has begun to transit the western limb. NOAA 12546, the large positive polarity spot close to disk center, has produced several B-class flares and shall be the new target region. Given the unipolar nature of the sunspot, no increase in activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 12546 on 20-May-2016 at 17:17 UT is:
S07W03, ( 49", -83" )
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,
Ryan Milligan (NASA/GSFC)
