Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has continued at a low level since the last message. The largest event was a C3.3 flare at 09:36 UT today from NOAA 13561, beyond the South West limb. The region on the visible disk with the most magnetically complex is now NOAA 13559, a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group. This region also produced 3 low C-class flares in the period and should become the new target. Yesterday’s target NOAA 13560 (S11W68, beta/D-type) was flare-quiet in the period. More C-class activities are expected.

The position of NOAA 13559 on 28-Jan-2024 at 12:30 UT is:

N26W63 (781", 465")
