SOT shift report 2011-08-01 L4393 File created at 2011:213:11:59 UTC = 07:59AM Aug-01-2011 EDT End 11:00:00AM EDT; SOT Lead: Ed Kellogg PLAN: OBSID 12405 IGR J17091-3624 2011:213:07:16 ACIS-S HETG - High Resolution Spectroscopy of a Black Hole Transient CURRENT STA. PASS Support-UTC BOT EOT ---Station------ Local Time ----------------- ------------ --- --- ---------------- ---------- 213/1030-1245 1130 1230 DSS-65 MADRID 0730-0830 EDT MP: the AUG08 products are in work. Review is expected on Wednesday. SIGNIFICANT SOLAR ACTIVITY: At midnight UTC the visible solar disk had 5 spotted regions, three major ones pointed at Earth. Region 11260 was quiet and stable. Region 11261 has many spots with a high degree of polarity intermixing and several small magnetic delta structures. M class flares are possible. Region 11263 increased in complexity due to the development of opposite polarity spots in the northern part of the trailing penumbra. This region could produce a major flare, maybe even an X class flare. GOES X-ray flux: several minor C class flares yesterday and today, all short duration. GOT/IST: during the DSS-27 pass there was a sandstorm. This resulted in loss of 6067 frames from the first segment of the ACA dark current calibration.
