Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained low since the last message. The largest event during the period was a C5.9 flare at 21:41 UT yesterday, produced by a spotless region near the southeast limb (S24E75). Yesterday’s target NOAA 14345 and the nearby region NOAA 14341 remained flare-quiet in the period. Region 14345 has decreased in magnetic complexity and is now classified as beta/E-type. NOAA 14353 (N17W10, beta/D-type) is showing ongoing significant flux emergence and produced two ~C4 flares during the period. Today, we will switch the target to NOAA 14353. Additional C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14353 on 24-Jan-2026 12:30 UT is:
N17W10 (162",371")
