MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1936, S16W59, produced a surprise major M9.9 event at 01/01/18:52 UT. 1936 was displaying signs of decay before the M9 event and the region has continued to decay losing significant sunspot count and area and magnetic complexity following the M9 event. Target region now numbered NOAA 1944 is a very large and magnetically complex E-type/beta/gamma-delta region but only managed to produce an isolated M1.7 and a C9.5 today. It is likely that 1944 will produce M-class activity with the chance of a =/>M5 event.

The position of NOAA 1944 on January 02 at 16:30 UT is: S07E65 (Solar X = -879", Solar Y = -096")
