SOT shift report 2011-08-03 L4395 File created at 2011:215:12:25 UTC = 08:25AM Aug-03-2011 EDT End 11:00:00AM EDT; SOT Lead: Ed Kellogg SIGNIFICANT SOLAR ACTIVITY: there was a major proton event in region 11261, a long duration M flare peaking at 06:19 Aug 2. The blast hurled a CME almost directly toward Earth. The region produced another long duration M1.1 event peaking at 03:37 UTC today. Yesterday's Earth directed CME showed up in the GOES X-ray flux and was observed in LASCO and STEREO images. Its main body will likely reach Earth sometime after 09h UTC tomorrow, but we are already seeing a strongly rising ACE proton flux. According to a 3-dimensional model of the CME by analysts at the GSFC Space Weather Lab made, the cloud left the sun traveling 900 km/s and should reach Earth on August 5th at 0300 UT plus or minus 7 hours. Major flares are also possible in region 11263, trailing 11261 by a couple of days. PLAN: OBSID 13305, 3C445 2011:214:04:13, ACIS-S HETG - X-raying the circumnuclear matter in the Broad Line Radio Galaxy 3C445. MP: The AUG08 load is still in preparation, with a review expected this afternoon. S/C: we plan to do an onboard ephemeris update tomorrow.
