Indirect signatures of plasmoid-mediated reconnection in the outflow region from the 2D CBP simulation by Nóbrega-Siverio & Moreno-Insertis (2022) after degrading the resolution to match the best case achievable by HRI_EUV in our study (pixel size of 108 km). Panel a: HRI_EUV synthetic emissivity. We have transposed the axes so that height appears on the horizontal axis. Panel b: Space–time map obtained by sampling the intensity along the slit of length L shown in panel a. Panel c: Intensity profiles along the slit at t = 52.60 min. In all the panels, the arrows mark some of the features that are interpreted as consequences of plasmoids previously ejected during the reconnection process. An animation of this figure is available online, including temperature and n_en_H maps, showcasing the appearance of indirect plasmoid-mediated signatures between t = 52.40 and t = 52.80 min.
