Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a low level since the last message. The largest event during the period was a C8.9 flare at 21:44 UT yesterday produced by yesterday's target NOAA 14140 (S15E37). 14140 has decayed to a beta/C-type region and been flare quiet since the beginning of UT today. There was a newly emerged region, now numbered as NOAA 14141, producing nine low C-class flares (the largest one being a C3.2) today. We will switch the target to NOAA 14141, which was designated as a beta/C-type configuration. Although this region is rotating over the west limb, its loops can still be seen above the limb. Further C-class flares are expected from various regions in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14141 on July 14 at 15:30 UT is:
S13W85 (916", -217")
