Solar Activity

Solar activity was low-moderate this week with only 10 C class flares. There are currently 7 active regions on the disk, although 4 of these will rotate over the limb within the next 36 hours. STEREO B shows a couple of active regions which will rotate onto the disk over the next few days.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     20    10     0     0

And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     14     5     0     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      5     3     0     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 206 / 30 over the time range 20-Feb-13 27-Feb-13

Memory Management

The SSR is emptying at the end of the daily pass set, with a maximum of about 25%.

Cold plate 1 and 2 temperatures are at 111 K and 110 K respectively.

The cryocooler is nominal.

Spacecraft Status

Data Gaps

There were no data gaps this week.

Detector issues

The front slow threshold on detector 2 was lowered on days 052 and 053 (21st and 22nd February).

The front slow valid counts were around 1200 at 0x38, a little higher than the typical ~800 seen during previous orbits. However during recent passes the counts are around ~600. The variation may be caused by orbital variation or as a result of the pass occurring while the light leak in detector 2 is present. The new tohban will keep an eye on this and will observe the situation for another week.

Note we started at 0x50 on day 052.

The detector remains unsegmented.
