Background: The recent observation of the unbound nucleus $^{11}\mathrm{O}$ offers the unique possibility to study how the structure and dynamics of two-proton ($2p$) decay is affected by the removal of one neutron from $^{12}\mathrm{O}$, and provides important information on the Thomas-Ehrman effect in the mirror pairs $_{8}^{11}\mathrm{O}_{3}\text{\ensuremath{-}}_{3}^{11}\mathrm{Li}_{8}$ and $_{8}^{12}\mathrm{O}_{4}\text{\ensuremath{-}}_{4}^{12}\mathrm{Be}_{8}$, which …
