Scientific paper

The results of observations of NOAA AR 5395 are presented. The region was observed every day from limb to limb for significant periods, and nine of the ten class-X flares were recorded. The region was found to be a great Delta group, dominated by spots of following (f) polarity, which moved rapidly westward, producing large changes in magnetic structure which increased the shear and led to great flares. Aside from its great size, the region was unusual in that normally p spots dominate and move westward. In this case there was a 4:1 flux imbalance; 80 percent of the flux measured was of following polarity. The major following spot in the region was found to move with a near-constant acceleration, eventually reaching 0.25 km/s. Rapid spot motion was discovered in all other superactive regions. Small p and f spots move out from either side of the large f spot, and curl around it in curved trajectories. The moving penumbral material coalesces into new umbrae.
