MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has significantly reduced since the last message.
The largest event in the last 24 hours was a C4.0 flare at 20:45 UT
yesterday (8/21) produced by the target region, NOAA 14513. This
region also produced a few low-C class flares and was reclassified
as a beta-gamma-delta type, but is showing a sign of decay undergoing
fragmentation.

Today we will end the Major Flare Watch campaign on NOAA 14513, 
but continue to observe the central area of NOAA 14513 as the default
target. Additional C class events are expected.

The position of the target in NOAA 14513 on 22-August-2026 at
16:00 UT is: N03E43 (-647", -32").
