Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is generally at a low level. NOAA region 11692 was reclassified by NOAA as an alpha/H-type sunspot group in the past 24 hours, but produced an M1.1 flare on 15-Mar-2013 at 05:52 UT. This region is the largest spot area coverage region on disk, and is located close to NOAA 11696 that has been reclassified by NOAA as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. NOAA 11692 had produced low- to mid- C-class activity 2-3 days ago. Further B-class activity is expected, with a chance for a mid-to-high C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11692 on 15-Mar-2013 at 13:00 UT is:
N09E02, ( -30", 269" )
