MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event 
since the last message was a C1.2 flare at 11:20 UT yesterday 
from NOAA 14414 (N15W03). NOAA 14414 has lost its sunspots, 
becoming a plage region. Another region, NOAA 14416 (N19W31, 
beta/D-type), was the source of six B3-B7 flares during the period. 
The target region has been designated as NOAA 14419 and shows 
a beta/C-type magnetic configuration. It only produced two B-class 
flares (B5.2 and B3.8) but is exhibiting an increasing flux and helicity. 
Today we will continue to watch this region. B- to C-class activities 
are expected from multiple regions in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14419 on April 14 at 11:30 UT is:
N13E64 (-838", 254")
