MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar flare activity is extremely low. The background x-ray flux is flat at the A4.5 level. The visible solar disk is currently spotless. The target will continue to be the area of the northwestern limb at the location of the limb passage of NOAA 2683. 2683 is now well beyond the limb but is still displaying weak and infrequent tiny surges. No significant solar flare events expected in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 2683 on October 10 at 03:30 UT is: N13W91 (Solar X = 936", Solar Y = 217")

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)
