Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues to be at low levels. The largest event since the last message was a C3.9 flare at 03/12/11:14 UT produced by the target region NOAA 13599. 13599 also produced another nine low C-class flares during the period. It retains a beta-gamma-delta/D-type configuration and is rotating to the west limb. At this moment we end the Major Flare Watch campaign with the default target still on NOAA 13599. Further C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13599 on March 13 at 08:30 UT is:

S12W74 (908", -166")
