Solar X-ray Jets
Abstract
X-ray jets have been discovered on the Sun by the soft x-ray telescope aboard the Japanese YOHKOH satellite as transitory x-ray enhancements in the solar CORONA with apparent collimated motion. They are associated with small flares (microflares or subflares), which occur in x-ray bright points (XBPs, see SOLAR CORONA: X-RAY BRIGHT POINTS), emerging flux regions (EFRs, see CHROMOSPHERE: EMERGING F...
