MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Former target region NOAA 1936, S16W46, produced a significant M6.4 event at 12/31/21:58 UT. The region developed a small but strong delta configuration yesterday. 1936 has decayed somewhat since the M6 event but it still could produce another M-class event. The east limb target region has now partially rotated over the southeastern limb displaying a large leader sunspot with a few intermediate sunspots following it. The region is too close to the limb to ascertain its magnetic configuration but it appears that it has mixed polarities. It is currently the brightest plage on the visible disk. C-class events expected with an M-class event likely in the next 24 hours.

The position of the target on January 01, 2014 at 15:45 UT is: S08E84 (Solar X = -962", Solar Y = -130")
