Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at an intermediate level since the last message. The target region nearby the northeast limb has been numbered as NOAA 13536 with an alpha/H-type magnetic configuration. 13536 continued to be the most flare-productive region on the visible disk, being the source of several low-to-mid C-class flares as well as the largest magnitude event in the period - an M2.4 at 08:33 UT today. The Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect with NOAA 13536 as the target region. Additional low M-class flares are expected with a chance of another >M5 flare in the next few days. The position of NOAA 13536 on 1-Jan-2024 at 08:30 UT is: N05E70 (-914",102") 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.
