MM#009 Default Target
Dear Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 2900 continues to decay and only produced three minor B-class events since the last message. The largest was a B1.8 at 11/30/22:26 UT. A recently emerged region (NOAA 2902, N18W13) has a tiny B-type/beta-gamma sunspot group. 2902 was the source of three minor B-class events in the past 24 hours. The default target will remain 2900 and include 2898. 2902 will become the target tomorrow if it develops additional sunspot area, spot count and magnetic complexity. A- and B-class events possible with only a slight chance of an isolated C-class event in the next 24 hour period.
The position of NOAA 2900/2898 on December 01 at 13:00 UT is: S25W60 (Solar X = 766", Solar Y = -418")
