Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity continues to be low. NOAA 12080 has grown in spot area but reduced in number of spots over the past 24 hours. This region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta/ D-type sunspot group, but the delta spot appears to be weakening with the main trailing negative polarity spot beginning to lose its penumbra. NOAA 12085 has continued to grow in both spot area and number of spots with emerging new magnetic flux over the past 24 hours. 12085 remains classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group and was the source of two C-class flares since yesterday's message, the largest being a C3.7 on 9-Jun-2014 at 01:14 UT. The trailing spots of 12085 have started merging and are forming more mature penumbrae. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12085 on 9-Jun-2014 at 12:00 UT is:

S20W10, ( 148", -330" )
