Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA 11692, is a developed spot (classified as alpha/H-type) responsible for the largest flare in the previous 24 hours, a C3.6 on 12-Mar-2013 at 22:42 UT. The region produced further C-class activity but has remained quiet over the previous 12 hours. NOAA 11696 produced a C1.1 flare on 13-Mar-2013 at 04:14 UT. It shows intermediate spot emergence and penumbral development of the following spot. While NOAA 11696 is classified as beta/D-type, there is some evidence for a beta-gamma configuration. B-class activity is probable, with a chance for a low C-class flare.

The position of NOAA 11696 on 13-Mar-2013 at 14:30 UT is:

N05E11, ( -183", 202" )
