Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Comparing the GOES X-ray light curves to the soft X-ray images, it appears that yesterday's target (NOAA 11809) was responsible for one or more B-class events over the previous 24 hours. There appear to be visible magnetic loop connections between the new emerging bipole, mentioned yesterday, and NOAA 11809, which may contribute to destabilisation. Also, as NOAA 11809 rotates more fully onto the disk, it is showing some evidence for a small mixed polarity (delta) spot between the trailing positive plage and leading negative spot. The region is the largest and most complex on disk, currently. Further B-class activity is expected with a chance for C-class events.

The position of NOAA 11809 on 1-Aug-2013 at 18:00 UT is: N12E55, ( -760", 142" )

See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
