Chris_Wicklund Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Has anyone been paying attention to the incoming region? Sure looks like a broad area with many areas of interest. Flaring already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Kobyłecki Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It has grown a lot compared to yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tniickck Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3540 maybe? it looks interesting and you created this topic in radio part of the forum😁😁 hopefully admins will move it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hey @Chris_Wicklund are you also a ham? Just curious as 3440 topic is here. Typically, new regions should be posted under “ Solar Activity “ Sam our moderator had to move an errant post of mine just last week. 😂😂🤣🤣73 Mike/Hagrid.

Unfortunately when creating topics it only gave me HAM TADIO and SpaceWeatherLive support. Was not allowed to pick other topics so I thought this was the way. Do you need permissions to make a topic?

No you don't, unless you have never posted something on a topic before I suppose I see why you said you could only do HAM RADIO and SWL support. To start a topic in ''Solar activity'' (after clicking the Start new topic button), you need to press the arrow left of "Space Weather" which will make three options appear, one of them being "Solar activity". You'll know for next time Edited January 5 by chronical mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjemma Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hopefully a mod or admin can move this topic, no worries. It looks like it might be very close to 3541 so maybe we can change the title of the topic to AR 3540 and AR 3541 or something. I think it might be hard discussing them in different topics if they still are close to each other after the foreshortening has disappeared a little. It will be interesting to see the magnetic complexity of this region when it has moved away from the limb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The new regions are making a significant contribution to the solar flux, today up 27 to 153. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I don’t really see much decaying. There is a new spot east of the main that has a southward field that looks to make this region a beta gamma delta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The region might still be in the hell of limb distortion https://gyazo.com/3bf526b0306208385977dbbbab9778e6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And NRC first post at 18:00 utc is 160 sfi. Very encouraging. We may break 200 within the next week as incoming south looking good presently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjemma Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'm so impatient for this region to rotate in a bit more so we can classify this region more accurately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The region now being visible on the disk aswell as the little other groups forming have boosted SSN to 121.

It's the tail end of a filament that seems to be firmly attached. Looks like a thorn. Or maybe an antenna for the 100,000 meter band. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A small CME from 3440/3441 can seen in LASCO C2 at 2024/01/08 16:00, alas also south and east in trajectory, not Earth-directed. The launch visible in SDO/AIA 193 at 2024/01/08 13:00 momentarily nudges the above-mentioned filament, but it doesn't detatch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Spacex Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) That filament tail finally detached at 2024/01/09 15:00, part of a broader eruption that started near 3441 at 2024/01/09 12:00. A second, perhaps more significant filament, also launched along the west limb. This combination did produce about a 90 degree wide CME visible in LASCO C2 2024/01/09 16:00. Update: CACTus calculates the CME angular width at 132 degrees. https://www.sidc.be/cactus/out/CME0033/CME.html Edited January 10 by Drax Spacex Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
