a) Hinode/EIS velocity maps of the red-shifed right component of Fe xii; and b) Fe xxiv, overlaid with black contours at 30% of the maximum intensity and SDO/AIA 131 Å contours (in grey) for reference; c) colour-coded time evolution of SDO/AIA 1600 Å images showing plasma flows; d) time-slice diagram along the arrow in c), showing two outflows, originating at the coronal source, associated with RHESSI 12–25 keV peaks; e) representation of pre- and post-reconnection field lines; f) time-slice diagram along the slit in a) and estimates of the retraction speed of the post-reconnected field.
