Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA region 11435 appears to have finished its emergence phase. The trailing spots of this region are connected by bright EUV loops to the leading portion of NOAA 11434, the region that produced an M1.3 flare on 17-Mar-2012 at 20:32 UT. Observers are strongly encouraged to include the trailing spots of 11435 in the same field-of-view as 11434 if possible. C-class activity is expected, with a small chance for another low M-class event.

The position of NOAA 11434 on 18-Mar-2012 at 18:30 UT is:

S22W37, ( 540", -271" )
