Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to a high level since the last message. The largest event in the period was an M9.8 flare at 01:23 UT today from the target region NOAA 13697. This region remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta configuration and also produced another three low M-class flares plus nine C-class flares during the period. Today we continue the Major Flare Watch on this region due to the continued flux emergence in its intermediate portion. Please note that the southeast limb region, mentioned in the two previous messages, has been numbered as NOAA 13709 (S10E67, beta/C-type) and has produced four ~M1.0 flares during the period. Further M-class flares are expected, with a chance of an X-class flare in the next 24–48 hours. The position of NOAA 13697 on 8-Jun-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S17W65 (820",-278") 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.
