Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event since the last message was a C2.4 flare at 20:57 UT produced by NOAA 14007. 14007 was also the source of another three low C-class flares. This region retains a beta/D-type configuration but increased the sunspot area prominently. Today the target will switch to NOAA 14007. Please note that previous target NOAA 14006 also produced three ~C1 flares in the period. Yesterday's target has been numbered as NOAA 14011, having a beta/C-type configuration. It was flare quiet in the past 24 hours. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14007 on March 3 at 08:30 UT is: S10W36 (562", -69")
