The return of AR 2192


Acidus

Recommended Posts

This is what appears to be left of AR 2192 (to the far left on the eastern side of the solar disk) after it's trip around the Far side of the sun, and i think it is pretty safe to say that it doesn't have a very complex magnetic setup. Looking at SDO images It still has some large coronal loops leaping far out from the corona, but with it's complexity it shouldn't pose any risk of strong solar flares http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/mpeg/latest_1024_0171.mp4

Have to agree with Acidus. Looks like most of old AR2192 has rotated into view and that it almost completely decayed. There is so much faculae visible, it must be from 2192. The coronal loops are amazing but there is just 1 sunspot visible. Looks to be game over for this one but will wait 24 more hours before arranging a funeral. We can not be 100% sure of course that there are no more spots behind the limb.

From what i'm seeing it is indeed not much that's left. It was a big field of faculae and explains why it looked so bright when it was on the farside.

With the background flux around C1 it sure doesn't seem that there will be something left just beyond the limb. 

 

Over and out with this region ;)

do you think that 2209 is going to launch a big cme?

Compared it with the previous rotation, it seems that only the most eastern part survived.
In latest imagery we still see remnants of faculae and the remnants of a once giant spot. It still is magnetically complex with two delta spots visible in the most eastern part of the cluster. An M-class flare is likely but we don't have a good view on the evolution so if it decays further than it would probably just be nothing anymore.
