Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is high. Target region NOAA 13576 remained stable in terms of sunspot area and classification (as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type) since the last message, but may be showing signs of decay in its trailing spots. This region again produced several C-class flares and two M-class flares (an M6.5 and M1.1 on 12-Feb-2024 at 03:23 UT and 12:50 UT, respectively) which included the largest magnitude flare in the period. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13576 as its target region. Further M-class flares are likely over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for another >M5. The position of NOAA 13576 on 12-Feb-2024 at 15:00 UT is: S16W21 , ( 486", -174" ) 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. Regards, Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University)
