Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Yesterday's target, the (still) un-numbered region at the South-East limb was responsible for moderate C-class activity. On the other hand, two low M-class and two high C-class flares originated behind the SW limb (likely from NOAA 12085 and 12084). The flare site has now rotated far enough behind the E-limb that further significant flares from the region are not expected. The most complex region on disk is NOAA 12089 (showing a beta-gamma- delta magnetic classification), and has released a series of low C-class flares over the previous 12 hours. Continuing flux emergence is evident, as well as some shearing, as negative polarity flux flows into the following positive polarity spots, forming a double polarity separation line. Moderate C-class activity is expected, with a chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12089 on 16-June-2014 17:40 UT is:
N18W48, ( 666", 280" )
