Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased since the last message due to the activities from the regions rotated from the Southeast limb. The largest event in the period was an M1.3 flare at 01:26 UT today (6/20) from the region rotated from the Southeast limb yesterday, now assigned the number, NOAA 14472. There is another region rotated from the limb at the latitude of ~8 degrees South, which has been our default target since yesterday. This yet-unnumbered region produced several flares including 2 C1.9 flares (at 11:15 UT and another at 12:06 UT) today, while NOAA 14472 has kept quiet after the M1.3 flare.
Today, we will continue to observe the unnumbered region from the Southeast limb at ~8 degrees South, expecting additional C class activities.
The position of the target from the Southeast limb on 20-Jun-2026 at 15:00 UT is: S08E75 (-901.", -149").
