Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate to high level. The largest event over the previous 24 hours was an M5.0 flare on 22-May-2013 13:32 UT released by NOAA 11745. The region exhibits a simple configuration (beta/Cao) and there is some evidence that it was destabilised by dynamics within the adjacent region, NOAA 11748. No further substantial activity is expected from NOAA 11745. A newly emerging region in the South-East quadrant has been designated NOAA 11756 and was responsible for multiple low C-class flares. The region shows evidence for a beta-gamma configuration. On the other hand, yesterdays target (now designated NOAA 11755) has continued to emerge, also shows evidence for a beta-gamma classification, and additionally exhibits a very strong polarity separation line. Because of this, NOAA 11755 will remain the target. Low C-class activity is expected with a chance for a high C-class event.

The position of NOAA 11755 on 22-May-2013 at 18:00 UT is:

N10E52, ( -738", 183" )
