Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Two new bipolar regions have appeared on
disk, while today's target will be NOAA 11450. This region has experienced some
growth in spot area and number of spots and produced a B4.9 flare on 2-Apr-2012
at 21:53 UT. NOAA 11450 has a well-developed, compact bright EUV loop structure
and an extensive region of bright plage between the leading and trailing spots.
Further B-class events are possible, with a chance for a C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11450 on 3-Apr-2012 at 09:30 UT is:
N16E02, ( -29", 367" )
