Dear Collaborators,
Dear Collaborators, Primary target region NOAA 3006 (D-type/beta-gamma, S30W16, X= 227, Y= -433") has decayed significantly especially within its magnetic delta configuration. 3006 was the source of 7 C-class events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a C4.9 at 05/11/13:26 UT. A major flare =>M5 is now less likely. The target will switch back to NOAA 3007 (E-type/beta-gamma). 3007 increased its spot count, spot area, and magnetic complexity with mixed polarities and a possible delta configuration developing within its intermediate portion. 3007 produced 10 C-class events since the last message. The largest was a C8.6 at 05/11/15:45 UT. It also just produced an M1.6 event at 05/11/16:49. We will continue the MFW today. An isolated major event =>M5 is possible in the next 24 hour period. The position of NOAA 3007 on May 11 at 14:45 UT is: S24E37 (Solar X = -524", Solar Y = -350") 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.
