Philalethes Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) This just got its own designation, and has been having some M-flares. Let's see what it does. Edited January 9, 2023 by Orneno 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Warfel Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The one on the 8th around 9:40 was slow-peaking, and launched a very bright although moderately narrow CME. Background flux seems to have calmed down some since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjemma Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Gonna move my 3184 discussion here. This region looks really interesting on the images and it will be fun to see what magnetic complexity it will have. It launched a nice CME yesterday and hopefully it has more plasma on the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Still too close to the limb for a good lok on it's magnetic configuration but from the looks it seems like a nice region with a big penumbral area with several spots, followed by a zone of faculae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the faculae mean it was previously bigger and shrunk, or is it a sign it could grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faculae often form after sunspots die but once they fade more away there can be new spot growth but not always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanneyt Sander Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Zojuist, MinYoongi zei: will a CME (if produced) maybe graze us? Patience my friend, it’s still in progress. Due to its position likely not, but much will depend (as always) of duration (the longer the better) and if the CME is wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have even been parts of CME that have hit us from CME's launched just beyond the limb before (wasn't that one from 2017?). But yea it's rare and uncommon when they are in this position.

I did not yet hear about the 2017 CME, is there any info you can give me on it? Only started spectating in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Looks fairly impulsive, but look at the northern limb aswell, flare there aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we read the location of sunspots vs its potential to have earth directed CME from a resulting non-impulsive flare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything around center disk till the western limb (Parker spiral effect). But a wide CME on the eastern limb can also hit us, but much depends on the characteristics. You can even have a Center disk narrow CME with bulk northward for example that misses us. Conclusion: no exact rules with CMEs 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calder Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 X1.98 is the second strongest flare of this solar cycle! And the 11th overall! 10 minutes ago, mozy said: Watch this region completely fall apart now after this intense flare 😅 Don’t say that lol 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
