Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low. A new region has rotated
over the North East limb within the past 24 hours, producing 9 B-class
flares since the last message. This region seems to have a beta/B-type
sunspot group classification. More B-class activity is expected in the
following 24 hours, with a good chance for some C-class flares.
The approximate position of this region on 26-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N13E49, ( -701", 263" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be very low. The previous target region
has been designated as NOAA 12535 and classified as an alpha/H-type
sunspot group. Only B-class activity has occurred since yesterday's
message. More B-class activity is probable over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12535 on 25-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N05E65, ( -863", 115" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA 12532 has decayed
further since the last message, continuing to decrease in spot area
and number of spots. A currently unnumbered region has rotated over
the North East limb, producing a B1.7 flare on 24-Apr-2016 at 02:21
UT. This is most likely the return of the region that was previously
designated as NOAA 12528. Further B-class activity is probable over
the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of this region on 24-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N07E80, ( -932", 130" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a very low level. NOAA region 12532 has
decayed over the last 24 hours, decreasing in spot area and number of
spots. This region is now classified as an alpha/A-type sunspot group
and only produced a B1.3 flare since the last message (on 23-Apr-2016
at 21:18 UT). Further B-class activity is possible over the following
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12532 on 23-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N06W24, ( 390", 173" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA 12532 continues to
be the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk, staying
classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. Only B-class flares have
occurred since the last message, all originating from the high-lying
loops of NOAA 12529 that is now located beyond the North West limb.
More B-class activity is probable over the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12532 on 22-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N06W10, ( 163", 181" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA 12529 has now rotated over
the North West limb. The new target region will be NOAA 12532 as it is
the most complex region on the disk, being classified as a beta/C-type
sunspot group. Only B-class flares have occurred since the last message,
with NOAA 12532 producing a B4.6 event on 20-Apr-2016 at 21:22 UT. More
B-class activity is probable over the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12532 on 21-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N06E04, ( -69", 183" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity continues to be low. NOAA region 12529 has
rotated up to the North West limb and remains classed as a beta/C-type
sunspot group despite being significantly affected by foreshortening
effects. NOAA 12529 continues to be the most flare-productive region
and was the source of the largest event since yesterday's message (a
C1.0 flare on 19-Apr-2016 at 22:52 UT). C-class activity is possible
over the next 24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 20-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N10W90, ( 940", 165" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to a low level. NOAA 12529 has significantly
decayed over the past 24 hours, decreasing in spot area, number of spots,
and magnetic/structural complexity. This region is now classified as a
beta/C-type sunspot group as it rotates up to the North West limb. 12529
continued to be the most flare-productive region on the visible disk and
was the source of the largest event since the last message (a B6.6 flare
on 19-Apr-2016 at 12:49 UT). C-class activity is possible over the next
24 hours, with a slight chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 19-Apr-2016 at 20:30 UT is:
N10W78, ( 921", 182" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level solar activity moderate. NOAA 12529 initially underwent some
growth before continuing to decay over the past 24 hours. This region
is still classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group, although it
now appears to have lost its mixed polarity gamma configuration. NOAA
12529 produced the largest event since the last message, a M6.7 flare
on 18-Apr-2016 at 00:14 UT. At this point we are NOT implementing a
Major Flare Watch because NOAA 12529 appears to have simplified in its
magnetic classification after producing the M6.7 flare. C-class flares
are expected over the following 24 hours, with a slight chance for a
low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 18-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N10W61, ( 823", 208" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12529 has continued to decay,
decreasing in both spot area and number of spots. This region remains
classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and has produced three
C-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of
the period (a C5.8 flare on 16-Apr-2016 at 19:42 UT). Further C-class
activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 17-Apr-2016 at 21:30 UT is:
N10W49, ( 711", 223" )
