Specific intensity counterparts to the simulation, where we account for emission and absorption. Synthetic maps for the broadband 171, 193, 304 Å SDO/AIA filters, and a narrowband Hydrogen-Hα filter, for a LOS view in the y direction at t = 207.5 min, are shown from the left to right panels, respectively. An animation of this figure for a rotating LOS view around the z (from 0 to 360°) axis is available online. This shows the limb view on a current sheet that shows thermal-tearing evolutions.
