Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased since the last message. The target region NOAA 13500 continues to retain its beta-gamma magnetic configuration and has grown in spot area in the period. This region continued being the source of multiple C-class flares since the last message, but the largest event in the period was an M1.1 flare at 04:12 UT today from NOAA 13502 near the northwest limb (N15W75). The target remains with 13500 due to its magnetic complexity and the signs of further development with flux emergence. More C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for additional M-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13500 on 1-Dec-2023 at 12:30 UT is:
S18W37, (558",-313")
