After the excitement of last week's X class flare, activity this week diminished abruptly, with the base flux level dropping down to A class level. However, two AR (11271 and 11272) have recently rotated back onto the disk. These are productive regions that produced occulted flares even before their appearance on the disk and so we can expect that upcoming activity will be higher. | After the excitement of last week's X class flare, activity this week diminished abruptly, with the base flux level dropping down to A class level.

Solar Activity
After the excitement of last week's X class flare, activity this week diminished abruptly, with the base flux level dropping down to A class level. However, two AR (11271 and 11272) have recently rotated back onto the disk. These are productive regions that produced occulted flares even before their appearance on the disk and so we can expect that upcoming activity will be higher.
How many GOES flares occurred?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 14 10 0 0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 11 9 0 0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 4 3 0 0
Memory Management
The SSR is fully emptying or almost fully emptying after each pass.
Data Gaps
There were no data gaps this week.
Spacecraft Status
Detector 8 went haywire, producing long periods of very high noise in the count rates, starting on August 10. See this link for an example. In an effort to mitigate this problem, the voltage to detector 8 was lowered.
Data Processing
Hugh Hudson pointed out an anomaly in the spacecraft pointing.
