Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is still quite low. However, there are two regions that may begin producing higher levels of activity. NOAA 11610 is close to the meridian in the southern hemisphere. This region has shown growth in the past 24-36 hours, including the emergence of two sunspots. The leading spot remains somewhat fragmented but the trailing spot has developed penumbra. In addition, this region is showing significant H-halpha emission. The second region is NOAA 11611 close to the east limb which has just been characterized as gamma-beta magnetic complexity. Although this region remains largely unchanged from yesterday, it will remain the target of opportunity for today. C class activity is probable, with a chance of some M class activity.
The position of NOAA 11611 on 10-Nov-2012 14:00 UT is:
N13E44 ( -657", 178" )
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.
