MM#003 Major Flare Watch
Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Target region NOAA 1613 has decayed somewhat since the last message but is still maintaining a D-type sunspot group with a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration. 1613 produced an M2.5 event today at 05:48 UT. Another M-class event is possible with the chance of another major event =/>M5 in the next 24 hour period. We will continue the Major Flare Watch for another day. Two other noteworthy regions are NOAA 1614 (N17E50) that has emerging flux within its trailing portion and a new bright region located just beyond the northeastern limb at approximately N17. These regions have the potential to produce C-class activity with a chance of an M-class event.
The position of NOAA 1613 on November 13 at 14:00 UT is: S22E35 (Solar X = -517", Solar Y = -402")
