RHESSI Tohban report, 18-Jan-2006 to 25-Jan-2006 Pascal Saint-Hilaire, shilaire@ssl.berkeley.edu 1. Solar Activity Solar activity picked up this week, culminating in 5 C-flares on Jan 22, produced by AR 10848. RHESSI caught the impulsive phase of only 2 of them. GOES baseline level started the week around A3, rose to B-level, and is presently about A8. The numbers from hsi_tohban_flare_counter.pro are plainly false this week (we had several C-flares least during that time interval): How many GOES flares occurred? Flares above B, C, M, X class were 52 6 0 0 And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list? Flares above B, C, M, X class were 17 3 0 0 And how many had EXCELLENT coverage? Flares above B, C, M, X class were 13 2 0 0 There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 30 / 58 over the time range 17-Jan-06 24-Jan-06 2. Memory Management The SSR started the week at around 47%, and only very slowly decreased to the present level of about 30% (by the end of today's last BGS pass). Fronts were decimated with a weight of 2 or 3 during the week. Front segment data are not taken during S/C night. 3. Data gaps GAP START TIME GAP END TIME GAP (SEC) 2006-01-19T12:40:00.000 -- 2006-01-19T12:50:00.000 600.00000 2006-01-20T16:10:00.000 -- 2006-01-20T16:20:00.000 600.00000 4. Shutter issue, livetime determination The issue where some of the detector number where shifted, in order to determine average livetime and ordering shutter movements looks like it has been fixed (we are now be using detectors 1,3,4, and 5) :Since last Thursday, we've been in the A0 state at all times, excepts twice on Sunday, during the C-flares, where they moved to the A1 state for a few minutes (we went very briefly in A3 at the end of that last C-flare, just as RHESSI was entering the SAA). 5. Next Tohban: Ya-Hui Yang.
