MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The target EFR is now numbered NOAA 1682. 1682 is continuing in growth phase displaying bright H-alpha plage and an arch-type filament system. The region currently has a D-type sunspot group with a weak beta-gamma magnetic configuration. 1682 was the source of B-class activity in the past 24 hours. The largest was a B4.3 at 02/26/08:12 UT. Additional B-class events expected with the chance of a C-class event in the next 24 hours. If rapid development continues there is a chance of an isolated M-class event as well.

The position of NOAA 1682 on February 26 at 14:00 UT is: S18E03 (Solar X = -048", Solar Y = -187")
