MM#018 Great Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1515 continues to maintain its large and magnetically complex F-type/beta-gamma-delta classification. 1515 has multiple delta configurations located in the central portion of its sunspot group. 1515 produced several M-class events including an M6.1 at 07/05/11:44 UT, an M4.7 at 07/05/03:36 UT and an M4.6 at 07/04/22:09 UT. M-class events expected with a possibility of an X-class event = or >X5 in the next 24 to 48 hours. At this time we are implementing new Max Millennium coordinated observing plan #018 (Region Likely To Produce Great Flares).
The position of NOAA 1515 on July 05 at 13:00 UT is: S17W31 (Solar X = 466", Solar Y = -322")
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.
