Theory and Observations of X-Ray Jets (Invited)
Abstract
The soft X-ray telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh has discovered coronal X-ray jets associated with small flares (microflares - subflares). The recent development of observations and theoretical modeling of X-ray jets are reviewed with emphasis upon the role of magnetic reconnection. The relation to X-ray plasma ejections (plasmoids) from large flares is also discussed.
