Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has increased due to several ~C1 flares from various regions. NOAA 13632 and NOAA 13630 produced three ~C1 flares but they both showed signs of decay in their spot area and counts. A plage region (N26E67) appeared to produce a C1.4 flare at 02:35 UT today. An unnumbered region near the northeast limb (N19E87) was a source of a C1.0 and two high-B flares yesterday. The target region NOAA 13633 has not produced any flares in the past 24 hours, but it has grown in magnetic complexity to be classified as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group. 13633 became the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk, so it should continue to be the target for a further 24 hours. More B-class activities are expected with a good chance of additional low-C flares in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13633 on 8-Apr-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S08E52 (-749", -70") 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.
