Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a high level. An X1.7 flare has occurred on
13-May-2013 at
02:16:00 and is currently in its declining phase. The source of the flare
is behind
the east limb, so the actual GOES magnitude is likely to be significantly
higher.
The X-class flare was prededed by two M-class and a high C-class flare. At
this
time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch due to the increased
possibility of
an M5 or greater flare over the next 24-48 hours.

The position of the flare source on 13-May-2013 at 05:40 UT is:

N11E87, ( -931", 183" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and

for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.

Regards,

Paul A. Higgins (Trinity College Dublin / LMSAL)
