Caption: Figure 1.

Sequence of co-aligned SDO/AIA 193 Å images acquired between 2011 August 3 03:40 UT and 2011 August 4 03:48 UT (top rows) and integrated X-ray (1–8 Å) flux as measured by the X-ray Flux Monitor onboard the GOES 15 spacecraft between 2011 August 3 00:00 UT and 2011 August 4 06:00 UT (bottom panel). The vertical lines in the GOES flux indicate the times at which the AIA 193 Å images were obtained. The white arrows in the top left image indicate the locations of the two filaments. The x and y scales are arcseconds. North is at the top of the image; west is to the right.
