GOES soft X-ray flux profile in the 1–8 Å channel and space-time plot along slice “S1” of the AIA 131 Å images on 3 November 2011. A vertical red dotted line at ~19:30 UT, indicates the timing of filament activation and associated brightening. Two vertical dashed lines (yellow) indicate the timing of multiple plasmoid ejections during the impulsive phase of the flare. The timing of DPSs and plasmoid ejection is consistent with each other (see Fig. 1).
