Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. NOAA 12665 has decreased
marginally in spot area and number of spots in the past 24 hours.
This region has remained classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot
group but appears to be reducing in magnetic polarity mixing. NOAA
12665 has reduced in flare productivity, but was still the source
of the only flare since the last message, a C1.2 on 11-Jul-2017 at
20:18 UT. B-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a
good chance for additional C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 12-Jul-2017 at 17:30 UT is:
S06W13, ( 207", -165" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA 12665 has stabilised in
terms of spot area and number of spots over the past 24 hours. This
region remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group, but
appears to have reduced its magnetic polarity mixing to beta class.
NOAA 12665 has produced 5 B-class flares since yesterday's message,
including the largest of the period (a B8.5 flare on 11-Jul-2017 at
12:57 UT). Further B-class activity is expected in the following 24
hours, with a good chance for C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 11-Jul-2017 at 18:00 UT is:
S06E01, ( -17", -165" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 12665 has continued to
emerge new magnetic flux over the previous 24 hours, increasing
in spot area, number of spots and magnetic classification to be
designated as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. 12665 has also
continued to produce B-class flares and the largest event since
the last message, a C1.5 on 10-Jul-2017 at 00:00 UT. Additional
C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 10-Jul-2017 at 18:30 UT is:
S06E14, ( -224", -161" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. NOAA 12665 underwent further
flux emergence since the last message, increasing in spot area and
number of spots. 12665 continues to be classified as a beta/E-type
sunspot group while increasing in flare productivity by being the
source of 5 C-class events and an M1.3 on 9-Jul-2017 at 03:09 UT,
the largest flare since the last message. Further C-class activity
is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an additional
low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 9-Jul-2017 at 18:00 UT is:
S06E28, ( -442", -154" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 12665 has
continued to grow in area and number of spots since the last message.
12665 is now classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group and continues
to produce B-class flares, including the largest event since the last
message (a B6.8 flare on 8-Jul-2017 at 05:38 UT). More B-class flares
are expected in the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 8-Jul-2017 at 12:00 UT is:
S06E45, ( -669", -141" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12665 remains the only spotted
region on the solar disk, and is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot
group. This region has undergone significant flux emergence and spot
formation since the last message, and shows some signatures of mixed
magnetic polarities in its intermediate portion (i.e. gamma Mt Wilson
class). NOAA 12665 has continued to produce B-class activity and the
largest flare of the period - a C1.0 flare on 7-Jul-2017 at 13:37 UT.
Further B-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a
chance for low C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 7-Jul-2017 at 18:30 UT is:
S06E54, ( -758", -134" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region has now
been numbered as NOAA 12665 and was the source of several B-class
flares since the last message. This region was first designated as
an alpha/H-type sunspot group but recent images show a beta/D-type
configuration. More B-class activity is expected in the following
24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 12665 on 6-Jul-2017 at 19:30 UT is:
S05E67, ( -868", -104" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Yesterday's target region is
currently rotating over the South East limb, clearly displaying a
mature leading spot and a smaller spot in very close proximity. It
is not possible to identify an accurate magnetic classification due
to its location close to the limb. B-class flares are likely in the
next 24 hours, with a chance for C-class if the region is confirmed
as being magnetically complex.
The approximate position of this region on 5-Jul-2017 at 18:30 UT is:
S05E90, ( -940", -82" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. The high-lying loops of NOAA 12664
have now completely disappeared from view over the North West limb and
flaring activity has dropped to the low B-class level. STEREO-B images
show that a new region with bright EUV coronal loops should soon rotate
over the South East limb, with some signatures already visible by AIA.
B-class activity is possible in the following 24-hour period.
The approximate position of this region on 4-Jul-2017 at 18:00 UT is:
S10E90, ( -929", -164" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Yesterday's target region NOAA 12664 has now fully rotated over the
North West limb. Despite this, 12664 was the source of an occulted
M1.3 flare on 3-Jul-2017 at 15:37 UT. Although additional occulted
major flares are highly unlikely as 12664 is located further around
the limb, this region will remain the target for a final 24 hours.
B-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a small
chance of a high-C-/low-M-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 3-Jul-2017 at 21:30 UT is:
N18W90, ( 897", 291" )
