MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains low since the last message. The largest event
in the 24 hours was a C1.3 flare at 21:49 UT yesterday (6/18) from
behind the Southeast limb at ~9 degrees. Several high-B class events
were reported from the regions behind the Southeast limb extended
from 5 to 25 degrees South. A small sunspot rotated from the limb at
~13 degrees South but so far not showing flare activity.

NOAA 14465 approaching the Southwest limb produced 3 high-B class
flares, while yesterday's target, NOAA 14470 has been flare-quiet in
the last 24 hours with slightly decreased sunspot area.

Today, we will observe the Southeast limb region, the current brightest
area at ~8 degrees South, as the default target. Additional high-B to 
low-C class flares are expected.

The position of the target on the Southeast limb on 19-Jun-2026 at
16:00 UT is: S08E84 (-929.", -143").
