MM#003 Major Flare Watch



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased to a moderate level since the last message. 
The largest event during the period was an M1.0 flare at 22:54 UT 
yesterday from the target region NOAA 14409 (N02W22). This region 
also produced more than ten C-class flares in the period. 14409 retains 
a beta-gamma magnetic configuration, and its leading sunspots continue 
to show signs of flux emergence and dynamic motions. Today, we will 
continue the Major Flare Watch campaign for NOAA 14409 for another 
24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of additional 
low-M flares and an isolated >M5 flare within the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14409 on 5-Apr-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

N02W22 (360”,131”)
