MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a very low level. Yesterday's target region 
NOAA 14517 produced only one B6.8 flare since the last message 
and is now almost entirely over the west limb. The largest event 
during the period was a C2.6 flare at 08/31/15:09 UT from NOAA 
14520 (S12W01; beta/D-type). This region also produced two 
additional ~C1 flares during the period. Today, we will switch the 
target region to NOAA 14520. In addition, an unnumbered active 
region near the east limb (N18E87) produced two ~C1 flares and 
one B8.6 flare during the period. Additional C-class activity is 
expected in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14520 on August 31 at 15:30 UT is:

S12W01 (16",-313")
