Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. NOAA region 11909 continues to be the largest and most complex region on disk, being classified by NOAA as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. This region now appears to be in decay phase, having decreased in spot area and number of spots. The largest magnitude flare in the past 24 hours was a C6.8 event on 4-Dec-2013 at 00:20 UT, originating from a region located just behind the South East limb. This is the return of the active region previously designated as NOAA 11893, which produced an X1.0 flare on 19-Nov-2013 at 10:14 UT as it was rotating over the South West limb. Further C-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours.

The approximate position of this region on 4-Dec-2013 at 12:30 UT is:

S10E90, ( -958", -169" )
