Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a low-to-moderate level since the last message. Yesterday's target region NOAA 13815 (S28E08) retains its beta-gamma configuration but has shown relatively little dynamism in sunspot behaviour during the period. 13815 only produced a C4.4 flare at 17:39 UT yesterday. The largest event in the period was a C7.2 flare at 21:12 UT yesterday produced by NOAA 13808 (S09W65, beta/ C-type). NOAA 13808 and its nearby region NOAA 13806 (S08W74, beta-gamma/D-type) also produced another five C-class flares. The target region shall switch to NOAA 13808, due to its continued flux emergence and the flare history of 13808 and its nearby region NOAA 13806. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of low M-class flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13808 on 8-Sep-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S09W65 (853",-198")
