Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 12434 has decayed over the past 24 hours, decreasing in both sunspot area and number of spots. 12434 has also decreased in magnetic complexity to be designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group. However, the opposite polarity spots to the North of the primary leading spot (that previously contributed to NOAA 12434’s delta classification) appear to be shearing past the primary spot. This region has produced further C-class activity since the last message, including the largest magnitude event of the period (a C1.9 flare on 19-Oct-2015 at 13:36 UT). More C-class flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated low M-class event.
The position of NOAA 12434 on 19-Oct-2015 at 14:30 UT is:
S10W02, ( 34", -259" )
