MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1283 has decayed significantly losing its complex magnetic delta configuration but it still retains a beta-gamma classification. 1283 was the source of the M1.1 event at 09/10/07:40 UT. The potential for a major flare has decreased but another M-class event from 1283 is very possible. NOAA 1289 (N22E28) is slowly developing new flux just southeast of the large leader sunspot and has produced C-class activity. If development continues, there will be a chance for an M-class event.

The position of NOAA 1283 on September 10 at 15:30 UT is: N17W64 (Solar X = 820", Solar Y = 226")
