Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Recently numbered NOAA region 12113 produced two M-class events in the past 24 hours - an M6.5 on 8-Jul-2014 at 16:06 UT and an M1.2 on 9-Jul-2014 at 00:20 UT. However, at this time we are *not* implementing a Major Flare Watch on NOAA 12113 as it has few spots with small area coverage while forming a beta-gamma/C-type sunspot group classification. The largest and most complex regions on disk are still 12108 and 12109 (both remaining a beta-gamma-delta magnetic classification, with D- and E-type sunspot structure classifications, respectively). NOAA 12108 has continued to slowly emerge magnetic flux over the previous 24 hours, while 12109 appears to be in decay phase. Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for another low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 12108 on 9-Jul-2014 at 16:00 UT is:
S07W34, ( 524", -166" )
