MM#003 Major Flare Watch



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has reduced to a moderate level since the last message.
The target region, NOAA 14294 produced an M4.4 flare at 21:58 UT
yesterday(12/10) from the South of the large trailing spots. NOAA
14294 also produced a C9.5 flare at 15:39 UT today from the area
extended to Northwest. Both events occurred from the peripheral area
rather than on the visible sunspots of NOAA 14294.

NOAA 14294 appears to be in the process of fragmentation, but 
maintains flare activity interacting with its peripheral area. Today we 
will run the last 24 hours of the Major Flare Watch on NOAA 14294, 
on its Northwestern area close to the limb. Additional C to M class 
flares are expected, with a slight chance of an event larger than M5.

The position of the target in NOAA 14294 on 11-December-2025
at 17:00 UT is: S13W77  (925", -231").
