</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>The target region NOAA 11476 was the source of an M1.4 flare at 13:02 UT
yesterday. The region now has an area of almost 1000 uh, and is classified
as a beta-gamma-delta region due to emerging positive flux within the
negative leader spot. Bright H-alpha emission is visible near the location
of flux emergence and the leader spot is beginning to show signs of
rotation. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch campaign due
to the increased probability of an M5 flare or larger over the next 24-48 hours.
<p>The position of NOAA 11476 on 9-May-2012 at 10:00 UT is:
<p>N11E29, ( -459&quot;, 228&quot; )
