</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>NOAA 11429 has remained relatively quiet since the X5.4 flare yesterday.
However the region continues to undergo new flux emergence and is now
greater than 1200 uh in size. Some of this new flux emergence has resulted
in the formation of a large positive island delta near the core of the
active region. The region has also become significantly brighter in H-alpha
emission over the past 24 hours and its polarity inversion line remains
highly sheared. The combination of these conditions is conducive for the
production of another large-scale X-class flare.
<p>The position of NOAA 11429 on 8-Mar-2012 at 10:30 UT is:
<p>N17E09, ( -139&quot;, 397&quot; )
