Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity decreased in the past 24 hours. The largest event over the period was an M1.1 flare at 04:17 UT on November 6, produced by a southeast limb region, now numbered as NOAA 14276 (S17E67). 14276 also produced about six C-class flares including a C9.4 at 19:48 UT. It was designated as a beta-gamma/ D-type region. The target region NOAA 14274 only produced seven C-class flares, with the largest one being a C5.3. 14274 remains a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration but increases in the sunspot area. Today we will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign on this region. A major flare of above M5.0 is still possible in the next 1-2 days.
The position of NOAA 14274 on November 7 at 00:30 UT is:
N24E26 (-389", 342")
