Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased to a moderate level since the last message. Target region NOAA 13697 remains a beta-gamma-delta configuration and produced the vast majority of flare activity during the period, being the source of more than ten C-class flares and the largest magnitude flare in the period - an M1.7 on 9-Jun-2024 at 06:49 UT. Additionally, NOAA 13709 (S10E51, beta/C-type) and NOAA 13703 (S08W61, beta- gamma/D-type) each produced an ~M1.0 flare in the period. Today we will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign on NOAA 13697 as it rotates to the west limb. If possible, please also include the nearby region 13703 in the field of view. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for an isolated >M5 flare. The position of NOAA 13697 on 9-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is: S17W81 (892",-277") 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.
