RHESSI Tohban report, 26-May to 2-Jun-2003
Steven D. Christe

1. Solar Activity:

The activity level was very high.  The fast-growing NOAA region #0365 produced
3 X-class flares (X1.3 (22.56 UT/2003-05-27), X3.6(00:17 UT/2003-05-28), 
X1.1(00:51 UT/2003-05-29), as well as  15 M class flares along with 
countless other smaller events.  Active region #0368 has also produced some M
class flares.  RHESSI saw the peak and decay of the X1.3, the decay of the X3.6
, and the rise, peak decay for the X1.1.  Region #0365 may still give us an 
X flare as it passes behind the limb and region #0375, just coming into view, 
looks very promising.

2. Memory Management:

With such an active sun, memory management was remarkably trouble free due to
an increase in RHESSI downlinks.  The memory fill levels got up as high 60% due
to the three X flares and has hovered around 40-50% all week.  The decimation
table state remained at Rear-Passive Front-Active all week.  There were some shutter
movements during the X-class events as is to be expected.

3. Data Gaps:

None that I know of.

4. Major operational gaps in solar coverage:

There was some network trouble on wednesday evening.

5. Tohban:

The b. of the b. will be Amir Caspi next week.
