Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Over the previous 24 hours, yesterday's target region 11739 has produced no further activity or shown any appreciable development. Nearby region 11738 produced C-level activity, including the largest flare of the last 24 hours (a C2.9 on 8-May-2013 at 00:22 UT). NOAA 11738 shows evidence of a beta-gamma configuration, but has remained stable in the last several hours. NOAA region 11736 on the other hand has undergone continued rapid flux emergence over the last 24 hours, and also shows evidence for the development of a beta-gamma configuration. Due to this and its proximity to 11734, NOAA 11736 is designated as the new target. A high B-class flare is currently under way. Further low C-class activity is expected with a chance for an isolated high C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11736 on 8-May-2013 at 19:00 UT is:
S07W64, ( 846", -91" )
