Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity declined to a low level since the last message. The largest event in the last 24 hours was an M1.3 flare at 17:57 UT yesterday(4/15) from NOAA 14055 behind the West limb. The second largest event (C8.1 at 4:18 UT today) was also from this region. A region rotated from the Southeast limb yesterday was assigned the NOAA number 14062, classified as beta/D type. This region produced 3 low-C class flares in the past 12 hours.
Yesterday's target, the Northeast limb region is yet unnumbered, but at least two sunspots came into view. This region only produced a C class flare (C2.4 at 12:23 UT today), but maintains its rapid intensity fluctuation in EUV. Today, we will continue to observe this Northeast limb region, expecting additional C class events.
The position of the Northeast limb region on 16-April-2025 at 16:30 UT is: N10E78 (-920", 193").
