Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has remained at background levels since the last message. The alpha region NOAA 12738 remains quiescent and unchanged. A new bipolar emerging flux region has appeared close to disk center but has not yet caused any appreciable variation in activity. NOAA 12738 shall remain the target region for a further 24 hours although no change in activity is expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 12738 on 17-Apr-2019 at 13:30 UT is:
N06W56, ( 789", 150" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
Regards,
Ryan Milligan (University of Glasgow)
