(a) Streamlines of the 3D magnetic field corresponding to the time in Figure 13(d). Translucent yellow lines show the ambient coronal field. The green (MFR) and orange (sheared arcade) field lines were traced from the very same region of strong electric field magnitude right at the collisional PIL (magenta volumetric rendering). (b) Perspective view of the MFR above the collisional PIL. An animation of panel (b) as a 3D flyby is available. The video duration is 8 s.
