Dear Collaborators,
Dear Collaborators, Target region NOAA 3007 (E-type/beta-gamma-delta) increased its spot area, spot count and magnetic complexity within its intermediate and trailing portions since the last message. A strong magnetic delta configuration developed yesterday but has since weaken. 3007 was the source of only minor C-class events in the past 24 hours. The largest was a C4.3 at 05/11/22:41 UT. We will continue the MFW on 3007 for at least one more day. M-class events possible with the chance of a major =>M5 flare in the next 24 hour period. The most noteworthy solar flare activity was three limb occulted M-class events yesterday. The largest was an M2.7 at 05/11/18:58. The source region was most likely old NOAA 3004 located beyond the southwestern limb. A region just starting northeastern limb passage produced a C7.6 event at 05/11/21:18 UT. The region is in the location of the return of NOAA regions 2993 and 2994. A region located at S12E89 was the source of a C8.4 event at 05/12/02:24 UT. One of these eastern regions might become the new target tomorrow. The position of NOAA 3007 on May 12 at 14:00 UT is: S24E25 (Solar X = -368", Solar Y = -346") 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.
