Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The largest flare in the past 24 hours was produced by NOAA region 11684 at the North West limb (a B6.8 on 8-Mar-2013 at 16:36 UT). A well defined sunspot is rotating over the East limb at approximately 10 degrees North, but has shown little sign of EUV activity. Yesterday's target has been designated as NOAA region 11691 (N.B. the incorrect Heliographic latitude was issued in yesterday's message; it should have been N12 rather than N22). This region is currently classified by NOAA as a beta/C-type sunspot group, but shows some signs of a mixed-polarity beta-gamma magnetic configuration. Further B-class activity is probable, with a small chance for a low C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 11691 on 9-Mar-2013 at 15:00 UT is:
N12E38, ( -580", 294" )
