# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity            #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 572 from 2011 Dec 12 

SOLAR CONDITIONS
-----------------
Solar conditions were fairly quiet during this week, with only simple (alpha, beta) active regions on the disk. At the beginning of the week (a returning) Active Region NOAA 11376 (Catania 80) rotated on the east limb on the disk, which caused the background GOES X-ray flux to rise above C.0 level on 14 Dec. This caused several C-flares on this day. During the other days of this week the sun was fairly quiet with a small C-flare now and then.

GEOMAGNETIC CONDITIONS
------------------------
Geomagnetic conditions were quiet during this week.
