Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. The largest event during the
period was a C1.1 flare at 08/31/17:56 UT from NOAA 14517 (N10W88).
14517 also produced several mid-to-high B-class flares during the period,
but has now rotated completely over the west limb, with overlying loops
visible above the limb. The target region NOAA 14520 (S12W14, beta/
D-type) produced only three mid-to-high B-class flares during the period,
but showed increases in both sunspot area and spot number. Today, we
will continue to watch NOAA 14520 as the target region. Further C-class
activity is expected in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14520 on September 1 at 11:30 UT is:
S12W14 (225", -310")
