Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. NOAA regions 11682 and 11683 have shown signs of decay, with 11682 maintaining a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group designation from NOAA. A new region rotating over the North East limb was the source of two C-class flares in the past 24 hours (a C1.9 on 2-Mar-2013 at 14:59 UT and a C1.6 on 2-Mar-2013 at 18:36 UT). B-class activity is expected, with a chance of further low C-class events from the new limb region.
The approximate position of this region on 2-Mar-2013 at 20:30 UT is:
N08E87, ( -957", 140" )
