Image Details
Caption: Fig. 2.
The evolution of the interacting active regions from their appearance on the east limb until disappearance on the west limb. The pixel size is 4﹩\farcs﹩9, and the field of view is 10﹩\farcm﹩5 × 10﹩\farcm﹩5 (128 × 128 pixels). East is to the left, and north is up. The number of transequatorial loops increases, and transient activities start to appear in between the active regions as they close to the west limb. The locations of the active regions are indicated on the top left and the exposure times on the top right. The active regions are saturated in the long‐exposure images, and the spillover photoelectrons bleed to the north.
