Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Newly emerged NOAA region 11693 has shown signs of decay. Yesterday's target NOAA region 11691 gained some weak trailing spots, but the leading spot has begun to fragment. NOAA region 11689 has emerged several trailing and intermediate spots, while the leading spots have undergone substantial elongation over the past 24 hours. This region has altered in classification by NOAA from a beta/D-type to a beta/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 11689 produced the largest flare in the previous 24 hours -- a B4.8 flare on 10-Mar-2013 at 15:00 UT. Further B-class activity is probable, with a small chance of a low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11689 on 10-Mar-2013 at 14:00 UT is:
S19W19, ( 293", -204" )
