Andr=E9 Csillaghy (csillag@ssl.berkeley.edu)

1. Solar Activity:

Activity started the week at low levels.  Dec 25 had not a single GOES=20=

event. After this date, the activity increased, as a result of the=20
growth of AR0713. A C1 on Dec 26, many B-level events on Dec 27 and an=20=

active day on Dec 28 with several > C2-class flares and an M1-class=20
flare 12UT today (Dec 29).

Note also the C7.2 flare not associated with a named NOAA region on Dec=20=

28.

How many GOES flares occurred?
   Flares above B, C, M, X class were     30     5     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
   Flares above B, C, M, X class were     10     4     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
   Flares above B, C, M, X class were      8     0     0     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares          38 /           35
over the time range 21-Dec-04 28-Dec-04

2. Memory Management:

The memory level was low at the beginning of the week (4%), but=20
increased significantly to 45%.  It was still at  27% before the=20
M-flare went on, so it might be quite high at the next pass.

3. Operations:

Spin period at 14.734 rpm

4. Gaps

On Dec 24, 2x 5 min and a 10 min gap
On Dec 27 10 min gap

4. Other

Hugh hudson noted an unusal event on the summary plots
at about 10:18 25-Dec. Probably it was a detector arc that caused
high dead time and a shutter motion, but it looks like it was
accompanied by a soft X-ray burst and so it may be something else.

Looking at it in more details, it is noticeable in most detectors on=20
the quicklook plots, front segments, and also partly in the rears. It=20
is not associated with a GOES event.

5. Next week's tohban:

Paula Balciunaite - Andr=E9 is going to keep the beeper till Dec 31st,=20=

and let it on her desk this day. It will be unattended  until Jan1st.
