1. Solar Activity

After the B9 flare on Halloween, solar activity has been low throughout the week (GOES baseline level: ~A3).
Since Saturday, AR 10819/10820 are producing a string of B-flares (raising the baseline level to near B1). 
They should go over the limb later this week.

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     11     0     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      2     0     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      2     0     0     0
 
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares           8 /           11
over the time range 30-Oct-05 06-Nov-05


2. Memory Management

Memory is down to ~20%.
Front segment data are not being taken during S/C night.
Decimation scheme is Normal/Vigorous.
SAS data collection rate is at 32Hz.


3. Data Gaps

None, apparently.


4. Misc. Science

Brian Dennis has reported a possible problem with G6 spectra, where a hump could appear around 20-50 keV.
Pulse pile-up is not the cause. Maybe a noise issue?


5. Misc.

GOES data (from the SSWDB) for the past few weeks is still unavailable.
