Coronal Jets, and the Jet-CME Connection

Alphonse C. Sterling

Published 2019-12-05Version 1

Solar coronal jets have been observed in detail since the early 1990s. While it is clear that these jets are magnetically driven, the details of the driving process has recently been updated. Previously it was suspected that the jets were a consequence of magnetic flux emergence interacting with ambient coronal field. New evidence however indicates that often the direct driver of the jets is erupting field, often carrying cool material (a "minifilament"), that undergoes interchange magnetic reconnection with preexisting field ([1]). More recent work indicates that the trigger for eruption of the minifilament is frequently cancelation of photospheric magnetic fields at the base of the minifilament. These erupting minifilaments are analogous to the better-known larger-scale filament eruptions that produce solar flares and, frequently, coronal mass ejections (CMEs). A subset of coronal jets drive narrow "white-light jets," which are very narrow CME-like features, and apparently a few jets can drive wider, although relatively weak, "streamer-puff" CMEs. Here we summarize these recent findings.
