Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is low-moderate. Yesterday's target (NOAA 12010) was responsible for the largest event since the previous message, a C4.8 flare on 27-Mar-2014 at 20:29 UT. The region has remained quiescent since, has continued to decay, and is now progressing over the limb. NOAA 2014 is showing some flux emergence within its intermediate portion, but it does not appear to be increasing the complexity of the region, which is a weak gamma. On the other hand, a new bipole has emerged at the Northern edge of the leading spot within NOAA 12017, resulting in the formation of a delta-spot. So far the region has produced low C-class activity. Further C-class activity is expected with a chance for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12017 on 28-Mar-2014 at 15:45 UT is:

N10W16, ( 257", 273" )
