Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA region 12280 has now rotated up to the South West limb and has been flare-quiet since producing the C6.0 event on 12-Feb-2015 at 02:03 UT. NOAA 12282 has shown some signs of decay since yesterday’s message, but has increased in magnetic complexity to a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group classification. This region produced the largest magnitude flare in the past 24 hours - a B9.6 on 13-Feb-2015 at 02:20 UT. C-class flares are possible over the next 24 hour period, with a small chance for an isolated low M-class flare if NOAA 12282 undergoes more magnetic polarity mixing.
The position of NOAA 12282 on 13-Feb-2015 at 16:00 UT is:
N10E07, ( -120”, 280” )
