Vancanneyt Sander Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 If you apply the rules of the magnetic complexity of sunspots you’ll see it has a beta-gamma-delta configuration! There is a clear delta visible in the region. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i cant find the delta (i still suck at imagery interpretation) can someone maybe show me where the delta is ? It's really simple. So the basic rule is that within the penumbral area of the main polarity there is one or more sunspots with opposite polarity. In this case we have a very easy example as the core of the region is blue on the magnetogram and to the right of that blue zone there is a red zone and when you compare that with the HMI you'll see that the red part contains two spots, and those are within the penumbral area of the main polarity (blue) so that's a delta. For completeness, I've indicated the two both on HMI and magnetogram, so you'll now be able to identify every delta in the future 😉 PS.: There's also a delta in the making in the left part but the penumbral area there is not that big so I left that out as of now but can change. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! Thank you! 🙂 I noticed the left one, but the spots are not big as of yet so i dont really pay much attention to them. Did that delta form quickly? Because yesterday it looked pretty boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changed a lot in 24h, rapidly changing regions can turn into complex regions fast and pose a stronger threat for stronger solar flares. So that's the main reason to learn to magnetically classify sunspot regions so you can know this before SWPC gives an update on the classification during the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, this is looking like a very complex AR! I’m glad, it’s been a while since we had some decent fireworks.

It will depend on the CME characteristics and propagation as a CME is an ever expanding cloud. But we haven’t had a CME yet, let’s wait if there will be any significant solar flare and then see And as of now a R1 radio blackout 😎 and yes by region 3078 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that maybe that far south is an unfavorable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
