MM#003 Major Flare Watch
- Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2024 23:57:49 +0800
Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is now at a moderate-to-low level. The largest event
since the last message was a C9.0 flare at 16:59 UT yesterday (11/19),
produced by the target region NOAA 13901 (S08E44). This region
retains a beta-gamma magnetic configuration and produced a C8.0
flare plus another four C-class flares in the period. The Major Flare
Watch shall remain in effect with NOAA 13901 for a further 24 hours
due to a slight chance of an >M5 flare. Additionally, regions near the
southeast limb, e.g. NOAA 13897 (S10W82), have remained active
and produced several C-class flares during the period.
The position of NOAA 13901 on 20-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is:
S08E44 (-669",-161")
