Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low since the last message. The largest event in the 24 hours was a C1.3 flare at 21:49 UT yesterday (6/18) from behind the Southeast limb at ~9 degrees. Several high-B class events were reported from the regions behind the Southeast limb extended from 5 to 25 degrees South. A small sunspot rotated from the limb at ~13 degrees South but so far not showing flare activity.
NOAA 14465 approaching the Southwest limb produced 3 high-B class flares, while yesterday's target, NOAA 14470 has been flare-quiet in the last 24 hours with slightly decreased sunspot area.
Today, we will observe the Southeast limb region, the current brightest area at ~8 degrees South, as the default target. Additional high-B to low-C class flares are expected.
The position of the target on the Southeast limb on 19-Jun-2026 at 16:00 UT is: S08E84 (-929.", -143").
