Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased since the last message. A newly emerged region (N05W46) produced the largest event in the period - an M1.1 flare at 13:03 UT today. Yesterday's target, now numbered as NOAA 14021 (S06E64, beta/C-type), produced a C2.7 flare today. Additionally, NOAA 14019 (N07E24) was the source of three ~C2.0 flares during the period. This region has developed into a beta-gamma -delta configuration with a significant increase in sunspot area and number of spots. Today the target will switch to this region due to its rapid evolution and complex magnetic configuration. Low-to-moderate C-class flares are expected, with a chance of an isolated low M-class flare in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14019 on 10-Mar-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N07E24 (-391",227")
