Dear Collaborators,
The Sun maintains its low-to-moderate activity level. A few new regions have shown significant growth in sunspot area during the past 24 hours: NOAA 14007 in the Southwest quadrant and NOAA 14009 in the Northeast quadrant, but they both are not showing strong flare activity yet. The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C6.4 event at 8:20 UT today (3/1) from another new region, NOAA 14010 in the Northeast hemisphere.
Yesterday's target, NOAA 14006 significantly reduced its size (350 to 180 millionths) and produced several low-to-mid C class flares during its decay. This region maintains the jet activity seen in EUV 304A from the area of leading sunspots. We will continue to observe the leading sunspots of NOAA 14006 as a default target for another 24 hours, expecting additional C class events.
The position of the target in NOAA 14006 on 1-March-2025 at 16:30 UT is: N18W17 (281", 420").
