MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Target region NOAA 2096/2097 is slowly decaying and mostly quiescent. The most noteworthy event since the last message was a very long duration C1.7 x-ray event at 06/27/03:22 UT. This event was associated with a large and bright CME off the northeastern limb. Old NOAA 2082, currently about 3 days from east limb passage, or a new region in the location of 2082 was most likely the source of the event. There is a possibility of another event from behind the northeastern limb in the next 24 hours. We will have to continue with the visible disk target for at least another 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 2096/2097 on June 27 at 10:30 UT is: N11E13 (Solar X = -209", Solar Y = 142")
