List all reports

Solar Activity

The Sun remained fairly quiet this week, with only a few C flares and 1 M class flare. There are 10 AR on the disk right now, pretty well spread across longitude. The region that produced the C and M flares (11686) will stick around for a couple more days before rotating off the disk. STEREO-B doesn't show anything too exciting about to rotate on.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     18    3     1     0

And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     12     2     0     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      6     0     0     0

Memory Management

The SSR is emptying after each pass set.

Spacecraft Status

No special commanding this week.

Data Gaps

No data gaps.

Detector issues

There was an isolated spike in Detector 8 on March 2 at ~15:48 UT. This was during a flare, just after exiting the SAA, so maybe a particularly stressful time for that detector. No other spikes or problems were noticed for the week.

We didn't do anything with Detector 2 this week. Plan: stay at this HV and threshold for now?
