We're still in Normal / Vigorous decimation at the moment.  A switch to Active / Vigorous mode has been requested.  Due to increased activity in the past ~day, the SSR is no longer emptying.

* D6 has been showing some strange peaks in the spectrum; these are best seen as multiple lines (that drift) in spectrograms.  On Monday, Jan 28 we raised the slow front threshold on D6 to ~10 keV and kept it there for a day before returning to the nominal ~3 keV.  This is intended to see if the slow threshold affects the abnormal spectral lines.  There has not been opportunity for the tohban to assess the results of this test; volunteers for that task would be appreciated.

Solar Activity

Solar activity is moderate to high and is picking up. There are 9 active regions on the disk, with 2-3 of them flaring. Many of these are coming from AR 12268 at disk center, including an M class flare. There is also a prolific AR rotating onto the disk; this AR produced many flares on its last turn on the merry-go-round and is already showing activity this time around.

These statistics are from Tuesday afternoon; I'll update on Wednesday afternoon.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     12    31     1     0

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

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      6    21     0     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

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

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 229 / 44 over the time range 19-Jan-15 26-Jan-15

Memory Management

We've recently switched to Active / Vigorous decimation, at 2015-028-18:06 UT this morning. Due to increased activity in the past ~day, the SSR is no longer emptying, and was at 35% this morning (before the pass set).

Spacecraft Management

A spin-up was performed on Monday, Jan 26 from about 14.5 RPM to 14.97 between 20:29 and 22:06 UTC. There were no anomalies.
