Plasma blobs identified in current sheet and their parameters. (a): AIA 211 Å image at 12:59:45 UT showing several plasma blobs. The region of the inset in (a) is marked by the black box. The blue and black arrows in the inset indicate several plasma blobs. (b): normalized intensity variation (black) along cut E–F shown in (a) and its Gaussian fit (red). (c): DEM distribution of the blob marked by the black arrow in (a). (d)–(i): distributions of the plasma blob parameters. The black histogram is obtained from the total plasma blobs, while the blue and red ones are obtained from the sunward- and anti-sunward-moving blobs, respectively. “M” and “SD” represent the average values and standard deviations, respectively. An animation of the AIA 211 Å images and the ones processed by the MGN method are available online, showing the bidirectionally propagating plasma blobs. It covers a duration of ∼24 min from 12:48:57 UT to 13:13:33 UT. In the left and middle panels of the animation, the dot-like symbols mark the blob locations, while the blue and green numbers represent the sunward- and anti-sunward-moving blobs, respectively.
