Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

NOAA region 11450 has grown in spot area, number of spots, and complexity in the last 24 hours and is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region has produced 3 C-class flares since the last message, the largest being a C3.1 flare on 5-Apr-2012 at 16:16 UT. NOAA 11450 now appears to be in decay phase, with the trailing spots decreasing in area. Further C-class events are possible in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 11450 on 6-Apr-2012 at 10:30 UT is:

N15W37, ( 556", 328" )
