A New Year's special: two new RHESSI Science Nuggets:
No. 189, "FOXSI Success" (Lindsey Glesener and Sa"m Krucker) - the FOXSI rocket soared, and right on schedule a B-class flare was detected.
No. 190, "Flare Productivity" (Hugh Hudson and Lyndsay Fletcher) - the number of flares per active region fluctuated oddly in 2004-2005, and the RHESSI flare observations help to track such statistical features.
Older Nuggets are available at
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/RHESSI_Science_Nuggets
(the current series, 2008-present), and at
http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/nuggets/ (the original series, 2005-2008).
We publish these at roughly two-week intervals and welcome contributions, which should be related, at least loosely, to RHESSI science.
A christmas nugget special, two instead of one:
