MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has remained at low levels since the last message. 
Yesterday's target region, NOAA 14524 (N12E06), has been 
flare-quiet and has been downgraded to an alpha/H-type region, 
with decreases in both sunspot area and spot number. The largest 
event during the period was a C2.5 flare at 12:19 UT today from 
NOAA 14521 (N09W34, alpha/H-type). The newly numbered region 
NOAA 14530 (N19E12, beta/D-type), northeast of 14524, is showing 
clear signs of magnetic flux emergence. Today, the target region will 
switch to NOAA 14530. Further C-class activity is expected, with only 
a slight chance of an isolated low M-class flare in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14530 on September 8 at 11:30 UT is:

N19E12 (-187", 197")
