#Weekly Highlights and Forecasts

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 05 - 11 November 2018

Solar activity was at very low levels. The solar disk remained spotless. However, spots emerged late on 11 Nov near N05E13, but remained unnumered. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate to high levels on 05-09 Nov, normal to moderate levels on 10 Nov and normal to high levels on 11 Nov.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G2 (Moderate) storm levels during the period due to a pair of recurrent CH HSSs. The solar wind enviroment was enhanced on 05 Nov due to a positive polarity CH HSS. Wind speeds peaked at 610 km/s at 05/0506 UTC and the Bz component saw a maximum deflection of -8 nT at 05/0406 UTC. During this timeframe, unsettled to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic conditions were observed. 06 Nov began a downward trend to a more

What passed between SOHO and the sun on November 7 2018?

Timeframes are 2030 and 2115 UTC. Frames not found in SOHO archives afterwards. Thought it to be the planet Venus, but can it? Anyone an idea?

We have been provided older CV-observations from the periods 1995-2000, 2003-2017 from Ondrejov Observatory and 4061 CV-obs. have been computed into CV-database. Also period 1944-1946 (!), a period where Zürich/McIntosh-classifications as they are

used now, did not exist! A total of 126 CV-obs. from that period have been specially computed. A sincere thanks to Martina Exnerova for the immense work she has performed!
