Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11691 was the source of the largest flare over the past 24 hours (a C2.1 flare on 14-Mar-2013 at 05:45 UT). This region has shown some intermediate spot emergence, but there has been little change over the last 6 hours. A new spotted bipole region has been emerging over the past 24 hours to the East of 11691 and North West of 11696. NOAA region 11696 is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but has emerged some intermediate spots and may be a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. This region was the source of a C1.4 flare on 13-Mar-2013 at 16:15 UT. Further B-class activity is probable, with a chance for a low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11696 on 14-Mar-2013 at 13:00 UT is:
N05W03, ( 54", 204" )
