Dear Collaborators,
The largest X-ray event in the past 24 hours was a B1.2 flare (also the only B-class flare) produced by NOAA 12811 at 03/26/13:47 UT. 12811 also produced several high A-class flares. It remains its beta/B-type configuration but decays further with losing all of its spots. The target region NOAA 12812 has been almost unchanged, remaining an alpha/H-type sunspot group. If possible, please include both regions in your field of view. Additional B-class activities are likely over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 12812 on March 27 at 04:30 UT is:
N21E12 (-187", 447")
