Panel A: AIA 193 Å images showing the portion of the solar disk that contains the two active regions between which the transequatorial loops are formed. The over-plotted green box shows the FOV of AIA that is considered for further analysis. The white box is the FOV that was rastered using EIS. Panel B: zoom-in view of AIA 193 Å images corresponding to the green box in the left panel showing the X-type topology formed between the TELs (white dotted line). The white box shows the EIS raster FOV. The white dotted lines are drawn to guide the eye on the X-shaped structure. The blue and black contours represent positive and negative polarity regions, respectively with magnetic flux density of ±500 G as observed by HMI at 19:35:40 UT. Panel C: HMI LOS magnetogram image at the same instant as shown in the contours of panel B. The two active regions AR 12230 and AR 12234 are marked here.
