Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity remains very low. NOAA region 11682 has continued in decay phase and was reclassified by NOAA as a beta/D-type sunspot group. In contrast, NOAA region 11683 stabilized in the past 24 hours and was reclassified as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. A new region is emerging in the South West quadrant, while yesterday's target region continues rotating over the North East limb. This region remains too close to the limb to determine a magnetic classification, but has shown several surges after two low C-class flares yesterday. B-class activity is expected, with a chance of a low C-class event.

The approximate position of this region on 3-Mar-2013 at 14:00 UT is:

N08E75, ( -927", 164" )
