Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. A new region is rotating onto the disk at S28E75 and is showing some flux emergence and spot formation. It has been the source of a C-class activity (a C1.5 flare on 11-May-2013 at 12:47). Yesterday's target region has been designated NOAA 11745 and was the source of the largest flare in the previous 24 hours (a C2.2 on 11-May-2013 at 13:59) and other C-class activity. The region is still too close to the limb for an accurate determination of its magnetic configuration, but minor spot emergence was visible over the previous 6 hours. The The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue for the next 24 hours, but may be called off tomorrow, pending further significant activity and magnetic evolution.
The position of the NOAA 11745 on 11-May-2013 at 19:00 UT is:
N11E63, ( -828", 204" )
