farm24 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 i was looking at the HMI Magnetogram and it appears that the small sunspot about to go onto the disk is a beta and i cant see it yet but it kinda looks like it has a delta spot im not sure though i inserted a pic of it below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesterface23 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The region is still a bit too close to the limb. It will still be a few days before we get a clear view to know its complexity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancanneyt Sander Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It’s indeed too close to the limb so any detail of the regions complexity is still missing. It still looks like a simple beta region to me because flux is still low. Regions with a delta spot are often way more active and push the background x-ray flux up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
