In the recently published article (Chandra et al. 2025), the colour bars in Figs. 12, 14, and 15 were incorrect for the divergence of the flow field (panel e, Fig. 14) and the forces (Figs. 12 and 15), as were the units. The reported forces correspond to force densities measured in dyne/cm3. The divergence of the flows should have units of s−1. The corrected figures are provided below. The movie associated with Fig. 12 has been updated. The captions remain unchanged.

thumbnail Fig. 12.

Snapshot showing the vertical field and forces after flux emergence with a highly kinked field. The vertical component of the magnetic field (Bz) and the Lorentz (FL, z), and net forces (Fnet, z) is shown. The traced field line containing the feature is shown by the dashed green line. The evolution of these forces and fields is available online.

thumbnail Fig. 14.

Time-distance plots of various MHD quantities along the selected field line (dashed green line in Fig. 12). Panel (a) shows the evolution of the feature in the proxy. Panels (b), (c), and (d) show the gas pressure, density, and temperature, respectively. Panel (e) shows the divergence of flows, highlighting regions of compression (red)/expansion (blue). Panel (f) shows the viscous and resistive heating rate where the dashed green line shows the Alfvén speed in the region of the feature at ∼100 km/s. Contour lines highlight the location of the feature in panels (b)–(f). The length of the traced field lines change with time within the domain, so the data is padded with zeros on the right. This is shown with the light cyan colour.

thumbnail Fig. 15.

Time-distance plots for the projection of flows and forces in the tangential (T), normal (N) and binormal (B) directions, respectively. Panels (a)–(c): flows projected in the T, N, B directions in the frame of reference of the selected field line. Panels (d)–(f) are the same for the net pressure gradient forces. Panels (g)–(i) show the Lorentz forces projected in the T, N, B directions. The dashed purple line in panel (b) marks the apparent velocity of propagation along the field line which is 50 km/s. The apparent velocity of the feature itself marked by the dashed magenta line is 38 km/s. Black contours highlight the location of the feature in all the panels. The padding on the right is indicated by the light orange colour.

Correspondingly, there are minor revisions in the text that do not affect our main results. They are listed as follows:

In panel (e), Fig. 14 the divergence of the flows was reported as convergence. In the text two corrections address this: In Sect. 4.5.2 the last sentence of the second paragraph should read, ‘In panel (e), we see the flow field’s divergence, with the black-coloured contoured feature distinctly dominated by expansion’. In the third sentence of the sixth paragraph in the ‘Discussion and conclusions’, the text should read as, ‘Reconnection follows, and a divergence of flows in the region of the feature is clearly visible (panel e, Fig. 14)’. The sixth sentence in the same paragraph should read, ‘The reconnection outflow (panel a, Fig. 15) hits previously slow-moving gas, resulting in the local enhancement of the plasma density and pressure’.
