Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is currently at a low level. Yesterday's target (12253) was responsible for further low C-class activity and the region has decayed significantly. On the other hand, the new region mentioned in the previous message is rotating onto the disk at ~S15E85 and has continued to release a series of C-class events. The region is too close to the limb to reliably determine its magnetic configuration, but there is a strong chance that a delta spot is present. The target will switch to the new region, presently. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for an M-class flare.
The position of the new region on 08-Jan-2015 at 00:35 UT is approximately:
S15E89 ( -900", -300" )
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.
