Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. NOAA 12529 has decayed further
over the past 24 hours, decreasing slightly in spot area and increasing
significantly in number of spots. This region is now classified as a
beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and produced several B-class flares and
two C-class flares since the last message, including the largest event
of the period (a C4.1 on 15-Apr-2016 at 14:04 UT). More C-class flares
are expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 16-Apr-2016 at 16:30 UT is:
N10W33, ( 516", 241" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a low level. NOAA 12529 has slowed
in its decay phase over the past 24 hours, maintaining spot area and
increasing in number of spots. This region continues to be classified
as a beta/E-type sunspot group, but has only produced B-class flares
since the last message including the largest event of the period (a
B8.3 on 15-Apr-2016 at 09:25 UT). More B-class activity is expected
over the next 24 hours, with a chance for low-to-mid C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 15-Apr-2016 at 14:00 UT is:
N10W21, ( 335", 251" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. NOAA 12529 has decayed
further over the past 24 hours, decreasing slightly in spot area
and significantly in number of spots. This region remains classed
as a beta/E-type sunspot group and has produced 3 C-class flares
since the last message, including the largest event of the period
(a C2.9 on 13-Apr-2016 at 23:28 UT). C-class activity is expected
over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 14-Apr-2016 at 22:00 UT is:
N09W12, ( 200", 240" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level. NOAA 12529 has undergone
some decay, decreasing in both spot area and number of spots. NOAA
12529 remains the largest region on the disk but has only produced
B-class flares over the past 24 hours, including the largest event
since the last message (a B8.6 on 13-Apr-2016 at 07:35 UT). Further
B-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with low-to-mid
C-class flares possible.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 13-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:
N09E05, ( -85", 243" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity continues to be low. New region NOAA
12530 has been designated as a beta/C-type sunspot group and has
been devoid of flaring activity. NOAA 12529 remains the largest
region on the visible disk and has grown marginally in spot area
and number of spots over the past 24 hours. NOAA 12529 is still
classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group and has continued to
produce C-class activity, including the largest event since the
last message (a C1.8 flare on 12-Apr-2016 at 07:40 UT). Further
C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 12-Apr-2016 at 12:00 UT is:
N09E21, ( -345", 239" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 12529 remains the largest
spotted region on the visible disk over the past 24 hours and has
maintained spot area while increasing in spot number. This region
has remained a beta/E-type sunspot group, and has continued to
produce C-class activity, including the largest event since the
last message (a C1.1 flare on 11-Apr-2016 at 01:34 UT). Further
C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12529 on 11-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2529 produced 10 C-class events in the past 24
hours. 2529 has increased its magnetic complexity somewhat
due to new opposite polarity flux emerging on the southeastern
edge of the large leading polarity sunspot's penumbra. C-class
events expected with a slight increase in the chances of an
isolated M-class event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 2529 on April 10 at 14:15 UT is:
N10E47 (Solar X = -692", Solar Y = 232")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2529 was the source of C-class events
in the past 24 hours. 2529 is currently displaying a large
E-type/beta sunspot group. B- and C-class events probable
with a slight chance of an M-class event in the next
24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 2529 on April 09 at 14:15 UT is:
N10E62 (Solar X = -835", Solar Y = 212")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar flare activity is currently at a very low level. Target
region, NOAA 2529, has completed east limb passage but
is still too close to the east limb to fully ascertain its magnetic
complexity but it appears to have a simple beta configuration.
B-class events probable, a C-class event is possible with a
slight chance of an M-class event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 2529 on April 08 at 15:15 UT is:
N10E75 (Solar X = -912", Solar Y = 191")

MM#009 Default HESSI Target
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
NOAA 2528 is slowly decaying. The target will switch to a new
region located mostly beyond the northeastern limb. A large leader
sunspot has just appeared on the limb at N10 degrees. This limb
region was the source of several limb occulted B- and C-class
events since the last message. B- and C-class events expected
with a chance of an isolated M-class event in the next 24-48 hours.
The approximate position of the target on April 07 at 14:15 UT is:
N10E88 (Solar X = -943", Solar Y = 169")
