Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity has returned to a very low level. NOAA 12535 slowed in its growth and has been confirmed as a beta/C-type sunspot group over the past 24 hours. This region produced a B3.4 flare shortly after the last message (on 28-Apr-2016 at 23:18 UT) but has remained flare quiet otherwise. NOAA 12537 has grown in sunspot area over the past 24 hours, and is classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This region produced two B-class flares since the last message, including the largest event of the period (a B6.2 on 29-Apr-2016 at 03:51 UT). More B-class flares are expected over the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 12537 on 29-Apr-2016 at 16:00 UT is:

S07W74, ( 909", -96" )
