Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a low level. NOAA 11698 has continued to
produce C-class activity in the past 24 hours, the largest being a
C4.3 flare on 19-Mar-2013 at 00:51 UT. This region is designated as
a beta/E-type sunspot group but has now rotated over the South West
limb, with a resulting decrease in the background X-ray flux. A new
positive-polarity spot has emerged in the past 12 hours in front of
the primary negative-polarity spot of NOAA 11692. This new magnetic
flux might destabilize the previously quiescent magnetic topology,
but the target will remain with the flare-productive NOAA 11698 as
its higher-lying loops will remain visible for the next 12-24 hours.
Further low C-class activity is possible, with a small chance for
an isolate high C-/low M-class event.

The position of NOAA 11698 on 19-Mar-2013 at 14:30 UT is:

S19W90, ( 911", -311" )
