Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
At this time we are implemening Max Millennium Coordinated Observing Plan #003 (Region Likely To Produce Major Flares). NOAA region 11121 has continued to produce moderate-to-high magnitude events, including an M1.6 (4-Nov-2010 at 23:30 UT), a C9.7 (5-Nov-2010 at 00:48 UT), and an M1.0 event (5-Nov-2010 at 12:43 UT) all within a 14 hour period.
This region has grown in density of loops and size since its previous disk passage as NOAA 11112 and NSO/Sacramento Peak have reported that it is bright in Ca XV emission (at ~3 MK), the first region to produce such emission since June 2007. Further C- and M-class events are probable, with an increasing possibility of an isolated major flare if the current high rate of flaring continues.
The position of NOAA 11121 on 5-Nov-2010 at 22:00 UT is:
S20E58, ( -773", -364" )
