Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA 13423 has decayed further since the last message, now classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region produced one C-class flare in the period, while NOAA 13429 (a beta-gamma/E-type group) was the source of multiple C-class flares and the largest flare in the period (an M1.4 on 14-Sep-2023 at 06:40 UT). The increased activity in NOAA 13429 is related to a period of significant flux emergence since the last message. Additional C-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour period, with a good chance for another low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13429 on 14-Sep-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
N10E08 , ( -132", 48" )
