Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11692 has now rotated over the limb and lies completely beyond view. Yesterday's emerging region has been designated as NOAA 11703 and assigned a beta/D-type sunspot group classification by NOAA, but has remained quiet in the past 24 hours. A new spotted region is rotating over the North East limb. This region has a well developed leading spot, is bright in chromospheric emission and large-scale coronal loops, and was the source of a B6.8 flare on 23-Mar-2013 at 12:15 UT. Further B-class activity is expected, with a small chance for a low C-class event.
The approximate position of this region on 23-Mar-2013 at 14:30 UT is:
N17E90, ( -920", 279" )
