Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Yesterday's target region (NOAA 12003) has rotated over the limb. Both NOAA 12002 and 12006 were responsible for C-class activity since the previous message. NOAA 12002, the most complex region on disk (now designated as a beta-gamma magnetic classification), released the largest event since the previous message, a C2.0 flare on 17-Mar-2014 at 00:45 UT. There is evidence for a small amount of flux emergence in the following portion of the region, where its X-ray activity appears to be concentrated. Further low C-class activity is expected, with a chance for a high C-class event.
The position of NOAA 12002 on 17-Mar-2014 at 18:15 UT is:
S18W54, ( 743", -229" )
