RHESSI Tohban report, 17-Jan-2007 to 24-Jan-2007

1. Solar Activity

Miserable - too bright to offpoint, too faint for gamma-rays. A
nice-looking C-class LDE happened today (Jan. 24) at the E limb, so 
we probably are not going to have offpoint conditions for another
half-rotation. Where is solar minimum?

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     17     3     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      1     1     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      1     1     0     0
 
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares           2 /           20
over the time range 16-Jan-07 23-Jan-07

2. Memory management

There was a surge of memory fill level, origin unknown. It is coming
down to near zero again on today's BGS passes.

3. Data Gaps

Nothing substantial

GAP START TIME              GAP END TIME                   GAP (SEC)
2007-01-22T22:40:00.000 -- 2007-01-22T22:45:00.000       300.00000

4. Other Things

I fixed the RHESSI GOES plots by going to the object GOES access. This
is definitely more robust and it is well-documented; these features will 
probably make our daily overview plots more reliable and I thank the
authors (Dom, mainly?). This is the way to go for batch data delivery
for this sort of task.

The old GXD local database is still highly preferred for command-line
users of GOES data, though - the documentation is easy to find, it runs
much faster, it is ab initio UTPLOT and ANYTIM-compatible, and its use is 
just plain simpler.

Interesting background effect at the terminator (actually, a short
series of them, which I guess are auroral X-rays): see
