Solar Activity
Earlier this week, the sun was very quiet at B-level. However, the activity suddenly became high after AR12087 started rotating over the south-east limb on Tuesday Jun 10. This AR has so far produced 3 X-class flares. There are currently 9 ARs on the disk. STEREO B shows there is another large AR that would rotate on disk next week.
How many GOES flares occurred?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 13 31 4 3
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 6 20 3 2
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 5 10 2 0
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 139 / 51 over the time range 03-Jun-14 11-Jun-14
Memory Management
The SSR is emptying at the end of the pass set.
Spacecraft Status
The cold plate 1 and 2 are at 117.6 K and 116.2 K respectively. Spin rate 14.7.
Data Gaps
There is no large data gap to report.
Detector issues
After making the D4 threshold change earlier this week, the monitor rates remained steady. The other change in D7 threshold was to see if it can be used for the average livetime calculation.
Jun 5, D4 rear fast threshold from 0xB0 to 0xC0
Jun 9, D7 rear slow threshold from 0x30 to 0x40
Other notes
The detectors used to calculate the average live time were changed from D2 & D5 (twice each) to D2 only (at Jun 9, 17:01:50 UTC).
