Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains very low, with the background soft X-ray flux lying around the GOES B1.0/B2.0 level. NOAA active regions 11623 and 11625 have maintained spot area and number of spots, as well as beta/D-type sunspot group classifications. NOAA region 11623 is the more active, producing 9 B-class events since yesterday's message (the largest being a B7.0 flare on 4-Dec-2012 at 01:57 UT). Further B-class activity is expected, with a chance for a C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11623/11625 on 4-Dec-2012 at 14:30 UT is:
N11W13, ( 216", 180" )
