Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target region, NOAA 12234, has not produced significant activity since the previous message. On the other hand, a new region located at ~S10E70 was responsible for the largest flare since the previous message, a partially occulted M1.5 flare on 13-Dec-2014 at 5:13 UT. a series of moderate to high C-class flares were also released. The region contains a mixed polarity spot at its leading edge, showing a positive spot surrounded by two negative spots. A new AR to the SE of NOAA 12237 has emerged, and shows a mixed polarity spot at the trailing edge. The region was also responsible for a series of moderate to high C-class events, but is also still actively emerging. Thus, the new AR to the SE of NOAA 12237 is the target. Futher high C-class activity is expected with the chance for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of the new region on 14-Dec-2014 at 15:45 UT is:

S20E45 ( -650", -300" )
