evtl. noch ein CME unterwegs...von heute Morgen...

[Ulrich Rieth]

...so steht es zumindest im STA Report.
Wenn ich auch den aroganten Schreiber dieses Reports überhaupt nicht leiden kann, scheint er hiermit mal Recht zu haben:

"...Several interesting events have been observed early on May 17. A large filament in the southeast quadrant, just east of region 9948, began to show strong motions late on May 16 and erupted magnificently early today. The eruption was observed along a filament channel stretching south-southeastwards from near the center of the visible disk. It is likely that a large geoeffective CME has been produced but I haven't yet been able to confirm that. Region 9957 appears to have been the source of an M1.5 flare at 01:23 UTC..."

...was meine Meinung bzgl. der Aroganz der STA Report Schreiber nur bestätigt.
Cary Oler zu den heutigen M-class flares (ausgenommen des gerade stattfindenden M2):

"...both M-class events appear to have originated from a source just behind the northeast limb. They were both associated with fairly narrow coronal mass ejections (the first event having a noticeably higher velocity than the second). As Chris also noted, there was some filamentary motion just east of Region 9948 that was time-coincident, but the filament does not appear to have erupted (it could, however, at any time).
So the east limb holds several points of interest: Region 9957 is certainly of high interest given the apparent large area of penumbral coverage. And the active spot complex that was responsible for the M-class events behind the east limb is also of interest..."
