MM#009 Default HESSI Target

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA 1520 continues in decay phase and was quiescent during the past 24 hours. The large central penumbra is breaking apart in addition to significant loss of sunspot count and area. 1520 is now classified as an E-type/beta-gamma region. There is a large dark active filament located in the region's central portion. A major flare is still possible but less likely in the next 24 hour period.

The position of NOAA 1520 on July 15 at 15:00 UT is: S17W44 (Solar X = 628", Solar Y = -325")

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.
