MM#003 Major Flare Watch



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased to a low level. The largest 
event over the past 24 hours was a C4.8 flare at 01:08 UT 
on November 8 produced by NOAA 14277 (S07E34) that 
had a beta/D-type configuration. 14277 also produced three 
~C2 flares. The target region NOAA 14274 was the source 
of ten low C-class flares (the largest one being a C3.8). It 
remains a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration but 
increases in the sunspot area. The Major Flare Watch 
campaign will continue for a final 24 hours on this region. 
C-class activity is expected with some chance of a flare 
above M5.0 in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14274 on November 9 at 00:30 UT is:

N24E01 (-15", 339")
