Dear HESSI Collaborators,

An EFR, located just east of the extensive trailing polarity plage in NOAA 9591 at S20W59, has grown rapidly today. Its magnetic inversion line is E-W instead of the usual N-S orientation. If growth continues, the region might form a delta configuration. At this time the positive polarity sunspot is slightly west of the negative polarity sunspot making it a reversed polarity region. NOAA 9591 (S21W77) is still capable of producing another M-level event before it rotates from view. This new growth nearby 9591 might regenerate 9591.

The primary target,NOAA 9601, has grown slightly and retains a complex magnetic configuration and is expected to produce another M-level event. The secondary target for today will be the EFR and AR9591.

The position of primary target, NOAA 9601, on September 3 at 17:00 UT: N14W02 (Solar_X = 032", Solar_Y = 112")

The position of NOAA 9591 on September 3 at 15:00 UT: S21W77 (Solar_X = 866", Solar_Y = -363") The EFR is located at S20W59 (Solar_X = 768", Solar_Y = -363")
