MM#009 Default Target



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains low since the last message. The largest event
in the last 24 hours was a C2.3 flare at 12:48 UT today(3/9) from
from NOAA 14381. This region also produced 3 low-C class flares since
yesterday, but is showing a sign of decay.

Yesterday's target, rorated from the Northeast limb, was assigned
the number as NOAA 14387. Two low-C class flares are attributed to
this region, but one of them is from closer to the limb, suggesting
a separate region is rotating from the Northeast limb.

Today, we will continue to observe NOAA 14387 at the area of trailing
sunspots, the source of the C1.7 event at 08:01 UT today. Additional C
class events are expected.

The position of the target in NOAA 14387 on 9-March-2026 at 16:30 UT
is: N09E59  (-820", 220").
