MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has slightly increased from the last message.
The largest event in the last 24 hours was a C7.9 flare at 20:21 UT
yesterday(3/9) from the target region, NOAA 14387. This region also
produced two more near C-class flares, however reduced in sunspot
area and appears to be in the process of decay.

The Northeast limb region in the East of NOAA 14387, has fully come
into our view but yet unnumbered. This region produced 4 low-C class
flares in the period from the area of its trailing sunspots. Today
we will switch the default target to this unnumbered region, due to
its recent flare history.

The position of the target on 10-March-2026 at 15:00 UT is: 
N13E68  (-872", 263").
