MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1271 has decayed somewhat in overall sunspot area and count but still remains a large E-type sunspot group and reclaimed a beta-gamma magnetic classification. B-class events are probable with a slight chance of an isolated C-class event. There is only a very slight, <10%, chance of an M-class event in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 1271 on August 25 at 15:30 UT is: N17W51 (Solar X = 707", Solar Y = 205")

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)
