Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The largest event since the previous message was a B7.7 flare released by NOAA 11834 on 27-Aug-2013 at 08:35 UT. The region is a decayed bipolar feature which may have been destabilised by a new region that has rotated over the East limb (near N10E75). The new region shows evidence of an alpha/H-type magnetic configuration. Yesterday's target (NOAA 11835) has not produced significant activity since the previous message but still shows the largest spot area of the regions on disk. Also, its trailing polarity spots have strengthened, thereby increasing the gradient along its main polarity separation line. B-class activity is expected with a chance for high B-class events.

The position of NOAA 11835 on 27-Aug-2013 at 17:30 UT is:

S10E41, ( -619", -251" )
