Solar Activity

Solar activity was low this week with some sporadic M class flares. Currently there are 4 active regions on disk and the active region responsible for the latest M class flares will be rotating onto the disk this week.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      7    18     5     0

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

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      6     9     5     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      5     2     2     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 127 / 30 over the time range 08-Oct-14 15-Oct-14


Memory Management

The SSR was emptying by the end of the daily pass set during most of the week. A joint observation with SDO made the SSR to reach a maximum of ~44% and as the last BGS contact the SSR fill levels was at about ~9% most likely due to the latest flares.

Temperature

Cold tip temperatures where a little high this week triggering two warnings. As the last pass the colt tip temperatures are 127.1 K and 125.4 K.

Spacecraft Operations

The spacecraft is operating nominally. The attenuators are working correctly. A special operation during SDO rolling maneuver was schedule from 2014/281 17:51 to 282 00:41 during which we intend to collect as much RHESSI/SAS data as possible. Everything worked as planned and additional passes allowed to minimize the impact on the SSR fill level.

The decimation was changed on October 13 at19:59 UT to NORMAL/VIGOROUS and event collection during nights from both the front and rear segments was enable.

Data Gaps

No gaps this week.

Detector issues

Detector 2 continue showing light leak issues as well as detector 5.

Detector 9, still show some spikes but the number of spikes became less frequent.

One spike was observed on October 8 in detector 5. http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth1+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfl+monfr+monff+monrs+monrl+monrr+monrf&date=20141008&time=065450&bar=1

There were no threshold changes this week.
