Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a low level. The largest event since the last message was a C7.9 flare at 21:36 UT yesterday, attributed to NOAA 14344 near the northwest limb (N19W91). Yesterday’s target NOAA 14353 has evolved into a beta-gamma configuration and remained flare-quiet during the period. NOAA 14349 (S14W13, beta/D-type) produced several C-class flares during the period, including C4.5 and C4.9 events. Today, we will switch the target to NOAA 14349 due to its flare history and its larger sunspot area (230 uh). Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14349 on 26-Jan-2026 12:30 UT is:
S14W13 (213",-145")
