Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level with the soft X-ray flux around ~C1 level. The target region NOAA 13098 was the source of a C1.1 at 09/09/21:02 UT. NOAA 13097 (S11W27) also produced a C1.1 flare at 09/09/15:30 UT. A newly emerged region near the south-east limb (S23E66) was the source of a C1.0 flare plus three high B-class flares. The target NOAA 13098 has been designated as a beta/C-type sunspot group today. It is showing mixed polarities in its leading portion. B- and C-class activities are expected in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13098 on September 10 at 03:30 UT is:
N17E03 (-47", 162")
