Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased to a high-to-moderate level since the last message. The largest event in the period was an M4.9 flare at 20:09 UT yesterday (11/10) produced by the target region NOAA 13889 (S10E21). This region retains a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration with a slight increase in the spot area (now 480 μH). 13889 also produced an M1.4 flare at 05:36 UT today and several C-class flares during the period. Today the Major Flare Watch shall remain with NOAA 13889, due to its magnetic complexity, high current helicity, and continued flux emergence. M-class activities are expected, with a chance of an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13889 on 11-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is:
S10E21 (-343",-219")
