Solar Activity

There were quite a bit of C-flares (54, according to GOES) and a few M-flares this week. The flaring activity appears to have quieted down in the past couple of days (GOES baseline: ~B4 level), but there are still six active regions on the disk.


How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     12    54     5     0

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

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      4    32     2     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      4    21     1     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 229 / 71 over the time range 27-Dec-11 03-Jan-12

Memory

The SSR fill level indicated 0% at the end of the daily pass sets most of this week, but is now at 28%.


Data Gaps

No data gaps of note this week either, at least until yesterday.

Detector issues

This has probably been mentioned before, but I will point out that G5 (front) has a lot less counts than the other detectors during flares (according to slow monitor rates plots). Ex: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monrs&date=20111229&time=134725 No spike of note that I could find.

MISC.

There seem to be no State-of_Health plots generated since Dec. 20th. http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/hessiops/state-of-health/2011/354/index.html

There seem to have been a hiccup in the generation of Observing Summary fits files and plots since Dec 29th. Jim has been warned, and they are currently being generated.
