Subject: MM#003 Major Flare Watch" -
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:16:49 +0100
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a high level. NOAA 12192 dominates the visible disk and has now grown in sunspot area to greater than 2400 uh. This active region has retained a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group classification even though the primary leading and primary trailing spots have separated in the past 24 hours. Since the last message, NOAA 12192 has produced two M-class flares (an M8.7 on 22-Oct-2014 at 01:16 UT and an M2.7 on 22-Oct-2014 at 05:11 UT) as well as an X1.6 (on 22-Oct-2014 at 14:02 UT). The existing MM#003 Major Flare Watch will remain active for the next 24-48 hours since NOAA 12192 continues to emerge new magnetic flux and retains the potential for further flaring above the M5 level.
The position of NOAA 12192 on 22-Oct-2014 at 16:00 UT is:
S14E10, ( -166", -318" )
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.
