One of the major unsolved problems in Solar Physics is that of CME
initiation. In this paper, we have studied the initiation of a flare associated
CME which occurred on 2010 November 03 using multi-wavelength observations
recorded by Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board Solar Dynamics
Observatory (SDO) and Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager
(RHESSI). We report an observation of an inflow structure initially in
304~{\AA} and in 1600~{\AA} images, a few seconds later. This inflow strucure
was detected as one of the legs of the CME. We also observed a non-thermal
compact source concurrent and near co-spatial with the brightening and movement
of the inflow structure. The appearance of this compact non-thermal source,
brightening and movement of the inflow structure and the subsequent outward
movement of the CME structure in the corona led us to conclude that the CME
initiation was caused by magnetic reconnection.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures, Accepted for Publication in The Astrophysical
