Distribution of magnetic activity in Carrington coordinates in 2022 (sine latitude grid). Panels (a) and (b): Averaged 304 Å EUV emission and magnetic field magnitude, respectively. The average EUV emission is used to identify hot spots that might be related to AR nests. They are highlighted with a dashed black contour. The region of interest for this study is highlighted with a thicker cyan (or blue) contour. Panels (c) and (d): Comparison of the distribution of solar flares observed by GOES and STIX.
