EOVSA radio intensity spectrogram of the 2017 September 10 solar flare, with frequency (vertical scale) and time (horizontal scale)

Fig. 2: Left panel shows extreme ultraviolet emission from the hot corona measured with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft at 15:54 universal time, in reverse gray scale (bright emission appears black, and dark areas are lighter gray). At this time, a cavity outlined by dotted lines is rising rapidly in the direction of the arrow labeled "Motion", surrounded by a much larger loop that is also expanding rapidly for form a coronal mass ejection (CME
