Dear Collaborators,
Yesterday's target region NOAA 13126 was flare quiet and almost rotated over the west limb. NOAA 13130 and 13133 were the sources of a few C-class flares in the past 24 hours, including the largest one of a C9.0 at 10/27/06:39 UT from 13130 (this needs to be confirmed later). 13130 (S24W34) and 13133 (N26E56) were classified as beta/D-type and beta/C-type configurations, respectively, and both are showing new magnetic flux emergence. Today we will watch NOAA 13130, which seems to develop more rapidly. Additional high C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13130 on October 27 at 07:30 UT is:
S24W34 (494", -454")
