Temporal evolution of a short-lived MFE observed in the Hα blue wing. The eruption spans from 16:09:28 UT to 16:18:32 UT, with a total duration of 9.1 minutes and a maximum size of 27.94 Mm. The red arrows mark the location of the feature across 10 selected frames. The filament exhibits rapid growth followed by a sudden disappearance, as can be seen in the final panel, indicating a complete vanishing of the structure. This event highlights the detection method’s ability to capture small-scale, impulsive chromospheric dynamics. (The animated version of this figure presents the continuous temporal evolution of the MFE over its full observation period. In the animation, the data is displayed in a side-by-side format: the left panel shows the Hα blue-wing sequence, while the right panel shows the cotemporal Hα line-center sequence. The exact observation time is updated dynamically at the top of the panels. To trace the eruption, a red contour outlines the detected MFE in the blue-wing panel; this identical contour is simultaneously plotted at the exact same spatial coordinates in the line-center panel to validate the corresponding eruptive feature across both datasets).
