Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 12737 was the source of some A-level activity since the last message but remains spotless. The global X-ray flux is currently increasing due to the appearance of a large active region on the eastern limb, as seen in STEREO-Ahead images. The region is unnumbered and its magnetic configuration is uncertain at this time, but it shall be the new target region and could produce some low-to-intermediate level activity as it rotates into view.
The approximate position of the target region on 6-Apr-2019 at 07:30 UT is:
N08E87, ( -949", 134" )
See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
Regards,
Ryan Milligan (University of Glasgow)
