Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a low level since the last message. The largest event in the last 24 hours was a C4.6 flare at 14:11 UT today(4/17). This event appears to be contributed by two regions, one is the target region from the Northeast limb (still unnumbered) and the other is NOAA 14062.
NOAA 14062 developed in size (250 millionths) and magnetic complexity (beta-gamma type) and produced at least 5 low-C class flares in the past 24 hours. Today we will switch the default target to NOAA 14062, because of the flare history during the past 48 hours. We will observe the Southeast edge of the main (negative) sunspots of NOAA 14062, expecting additional C class flares.
The position of the target in NOAA 14062 on 17-April-2025 at 15:30 UT is: S03E43 (-656", 0.55").
