Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 11809 has continued to rotate further beyond the limb, but the region still managed to release several C-class events (the largest being a C4.9 flare on 14-Aug-2013 at 00:31 UT). Yesterday's target (NOAA 11817) was only responsible for a C1.5 flare on 14-Aug-2013 at 10:37 UT, but it appears to now be magnetically connected to both NOAA 11818 and 11819. If possible, all three regions should be included in the instrument FOV, with preference for NOAA 11817. NOAA 11817 still maintains its near-horizontal polarity separation line and also exhibits a sigmoid loop structure, visible in EUV and X-ray images. C-class activity is likely, with a chance for a high C-class event.
The position of NOAA 11817 on 14-Aug-2013 at 17:00 UT is: S21W13, ( 203", -438" )
