AR13443

Solar soft lists this AR as being responsible for two M class and a near M just a bit ago. ( error. Was actually 3437 evidently)  Nevertheless Probably deserving of its own topic.

Error re: near m class

agree, it started erupting with lots of flares in the second half of today

there is a very small delta, actually, but i dont think it is responsible for all the activity

Yeah, shame its so near the west limb. Probably not much likelihood of catching a decent cme from it unless it really gets angry.

What an unusual M flare it just disgorged!  Looks more like a mountain or two ars involved. Lmsal has it as 43 currently.  Very unusual.   Very interesting possibly eruptive.  Although probably not high velocity.

I'm not entirely sure it was an M-flare, looks like it flared simultaneously with 3435, and that it was this that was responsible for most of the flux (and looked to be minorly eruptive).

So as you say, the shape would indeed be better explained by two ARs contributing, as I suspect.

Looking at 131 movie I am shocked at 43 evolution.  Really has taken off in last few hours.  As far as which was which in the accumulation of  X ray flux it is hard to tell with everything nearly lighting up simultaneously hahaha   X class from 35 would be preferable!

Finally an M class. Nearly on the limb. Just barely made this M too.  Probably not enough oomph for cme which would probably miss us at this point 😝. Get your act together 43. See ya in 16 days.
