Comments

The O VI flare is detected from 09:47 to 10:00 UT when the dimming of the lines occurs. In the synoptic scan at PA=270 a narrow bright feature in [Fe XVIII] is detected. This feature is well alligned with that seen after the CME during the Sit&Stare at 245. This is most probably a current sheet.
