Dear RHESSI collaborators,

Active regions NOAA 0203 and 0212/0213 are all likely to produce low and possibly even intermediate level events. Although NOAA 0203 is small and in decay, the region shows a delta in its leader. There are also distinct magnetic gradients visible across the delta's inversion line. Low-level events expected with a small chance for an M.

The position of NOAA 0208 5-Dec-2002 15:00 UT is:

N10W01, ( 16", 164" )

See www.bbso.njit.edu/arm/latest/0208.html for images and solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,
