Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at high levels. The largest event since the last message was an X1.3 at 14:20 UT on September 7 produced by the Major Flare Watch Region NOAA 12673. 12673 also produced 5 M-class flares (including an M7.3 and an M8.1) and numerous C-class events. Some (maybe three) of the flares were also associated with CMEs (seems to be non-Earth-directed). 12673 remains its beta-gamma-delta/E-type magnetic classification. It continues showing emergence of opposite flux in its leading and trailing portions. Further major (>M5) flares are possible in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 12673 on September 8 at 07:30 UT is:
S09W62 (831", -203")
