Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA region 11432 has been confirmed as the source of the M1.8 flare on 15-Mar-2012 at 07:23 UT, meaning that it has produced two low M-class events in as many days. The spots in 11432 are quite widely distributed and after some merging of spots it is now classed as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. More C-class activity is expected, with a chance for another M-class event.

The position of NOAA 11432 on 16-Mar-2012 at 11:30 UT is:

N14W19, ( 311", 342" )
