Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. The unnumbered target region
has now been designated as NOAA 13602 and was classified as a
beta/D-type sunspot group, but has been flare-quiet since the
last message. NOAA 13599 (a beta/C-type sunspot group) evolved
somewhat in the period in terms of emerging some new flux and
consolidating this into more mature trailing polarity spots.
Despite being flare-quiet, NOAA 13599 becomes the new target
region because it appears to still be emerging magnetic flux.
Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13599 on 5-Mar-2024 at 16:30 UT is:

S14E29 , ( -455", -129" )
