Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The current level of solar activity is low. A partially occulted C1.5 flare occurred on over the east limb on 16-Dec-2013 at 01:14 UT. The source region will be monitored as it rotates onto the disk and its magnetic configuration becomes visible. Yesterday's target region (NOAA 11917) has continued to decay, and no longer exhibits any sign of mixed polarity spots. The region was responsible for C-class activity, including the largest event since the previous message, a C3.6 flare on 16-Dec-2013 at 03:44 UT. High B-class activity is expected with a chance for further low C-class activity.
The position of NOAA 11917 on 16-Dec-2013 at 18:30 UT is: S15W47, ( 692", -240" )
