MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13729
has grown slightly in sunspot area and number of spots since
the last message, but increased in polarity mixing to become
classified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group. NOAA 13729
was again the most flare-productive region with seven C-class
flares, the largest being a C2.6 on 2-Jul-2024 at 09:02 UT.
The largest magnitude flare in the period was a C3.6 flare on
2-Jul-2024 at 22:27 UT from a new region that is now rotating
onto the visible disk over the South East limb. NOAA 13729
remains as the target due to its overall size and complexity,
as well as its higher flare rate. More C-class activity is
expected over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for
a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13729 on 2-Jul-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S04W09 , ( 147", -116" )
