Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a low level since the last message. The largest event in the period was a C5.3 flare at 15:28 UT yesterday from the target region NOAA 14048 (S16W44, beta- gamma/F-type). 14048 was the most flare-productive region on the disk and the source of five additional low C-class flares. NOAA 14048 shall remain the target. Please note that a newly emerged region NOAA 14057 (N07E50, alpha/A-type) also produced a C3.0 flare today. Further C‑class activity is expected with a chance of low M‑class flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14048 on 8-Apr-2025 at 07:30 UT is:
S16W44 (641",-192")
