Observations of a Solar Jet Triggered by Reconnection between Super-penumbral Fibrils and a Mini-filament

Coronal jets are highly dynamic phenomena in the solar atmosphere, yet their driving mechanisms remain an active topic of investigation. In this paper, we report a coronal jet triggered by the interaction between super-penumbral fibrils and a mini-filament, based on coordinated observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), the Chinese H$\alpha$ Solar Explorer (CHASE), and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The fibrils were anchored between the negative-polarity region of a sunspot and an emerging positive-polarity region associated with a moving magnetic feature (MMF). As the positive polarity migrated outward, the fibrils elongated and interacted with the mini-filament, one of whose footpoints was rooted in pre-existing negative-polarity fields. Intense brightenings at the interaction site, together with changes in the connectivity of the mini-filament footpoint from the pre-existing negative polarity to the sunspot, indicate the occurrence of magnetic reconnection. The event produced a narrow hot jet accompanied by a broader cool component. The cool plasma exhibited a clockwise rotation, providing evidence for the transfer of magnetic twist during reconnection. Persistent magnetic flux cancellation was observed before and during the jet eruption. These observations demonstrate that small-scale magnetic structures, such as MMFs, can significantly influence mini-filament eruptions and highlight the important role of flux cancellation in triggering coronal jet activity.

Observational Evidence of Solar Spicules Associated with Microfilament Eruptions Using DKIST

The formation mechanism of spicules is fundamentally important for understanding mass and energy transport from the chromosphere into the corona. Recent studies suggested that spicules may be powered by microfilament eruptions. However, direct observational evidence remains limited due to insufficient spatial resolution. Using high-resolution H$\alpha$ broadband observations from the Visible Broadband Imager (VBI) onboard the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), we identify 30 spicule events triggered by microfilament eruptions in a quiet Sun region near the solar disk center on 2023 August 29. The detected microfilaments have an average length of $0.93\pm0.46$ Mm and a minimum length of 0.17 Mm, substantially smaller than previously reported minifilaments. We identify two distinct morphological classes of ejecta: individual spicules associated with smaller microfilaments, and enhanced spicular activities associated with larger microfilaments. Moreover, some events exhibit apparent twisting motions. All these high-resolution observations provide compelling evidence that spicules can be triggered by microfilament eruptions.

Spectroscopic Case Studies of Four Long-duration Transition-region Explosive Events

This work presents a detailed spectroscopic case study of four long-duration transition-region (TR) explosive events (EEs) observed in NOAA Active Region 13213 on 2023 February 10 using the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph. The dynamic spectral evolution of each event is tracked through multicomponent Gaussian fitting of the Si IV 1403 \r{A} line profiles. Three recurrent spectral morphologies are identified and characterized: bilateral wing enhancement, exclusive red-wing enhancement, and exclusive blue-wing enhancement, among which bilateral enhancement is the most common in the studied cases. Throughout their lifetimes of 20-25 minutes, these events display sustained and evolving bidirectional flows, with high-velocity components ($|v|$ > 100 km $s^{-1}$) emerging in late phases. These spectral signatures are interpreted as evidence of ongoing or recurrent magnetic reconnection, where bilateral profiles correspond to bidirectional outflows, and exclusive wing enhancements represent geometric or evolutionary phases of the same process. In contrast, cotemporal flare ribbons and loop structures exhibit pronounced, unidirectional redshifts. This study underscores that significant non-Gaussian wing enhancement, rather than exclusively high speed, constitutes a defining spectroscopic signature of EEs, and provides detailed kinematic constraints on the dynamics of such TR EEs.

Quasiperiodic Slipping Motion of Flare Ribbon Fine Structures Anchored in a Sunspot Light Bridge

We used high-resolution observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory to carry out a detailed multiwavelength analysis of the fine structures in the flare ribbon of a C3.9-class flare on 22 April 2021. A segment of the flare ribbon was rooted in a sunspot light bridge and exhibited discrete substructures, which we term "burrs", with equivalent diameters of 233-895 km and inter-core separations of 1129-1739 km. These structures are characterized by discrete redshifted cores accompanied by "tails" with lengths of 700-1370 km and widths of 310-600 km that show faint blueshifts. The burrs display systematic slipping motions along the ribbon, with apparent velocities decreasing from about 40 to 21 km/s, and show a distinct quasi-periodicity of about 6 minutes in H-alpha and EUV passbands. Differential emission measure analysis indicates that the emitting plasma is multi-thermal and dominated by temperatures of 1-2 MK. The observed morphology and kinematics are consistent with impulsive energy deposition by precipitating plasmoids, or oblique flux ropes, produced by tearing-mode fragmentation in the coronal current sheet. The close spatiotemporal association between the tails and blueshifts supports the interpretation that these features are related to untwisting magnetic flux ropes. The approximately 6-minute periodicity further suggests that the reconnection process may be modulated by photospheric p-mode oscillations coupled with tearing-mode instability. These results provide observational evidence that light-bridge-anchored fine structures can act as elementary units of flare energy release.

Observational study of chromospheric jets in and around a sunspot observed by NVST and SDO

To better understand the characteristics, driving mechanisms, and potential heating contributions of chromospheric jets, we analyze two contrasting types: one originating from within the sunspot penumbra (inside jets), and the other originating from outside the penumbra (outside jets). Statistical analysis of 100 jets (50 inside jets and 50 outside jets) reveals that inside jets have a projected velocity range of 4--14~km\,s$^{-1}$, a length range of 1--4~Mm, a width range of 0.2--0.6~Mm, and a lifetime range of 135--450~s, with mean values of 7.90~km\,s$^{-1}$, 2.61~Mm, 0.41~Mm, and 260~s, respectively. About 52\% of inside jets are associated with brightenings in H$\alpha$ blue wing images, and some show high-temperature signatures, suggesting a connection with localized energy release. In contrast, outside jets have higher velocities (8--50~km\,s$^{-1}$, average 19.04~km\,s$^{-1}$), greater lengths (average 6.26~Mm, up to 27.27~Mm), slightly larger widths (average 0.46~Mm), and longer lifetimes (135--630~s, average 327~s). They typically originate from regions of opposite magnetic polarities and are associated with magnetic flux emergence and EUV brightenings. Some outside jets correspond to coronal jets with inverted Y-shaped structures and temperatures exceeding one million Kelvin. Our results suggest that both jet types are driven by magnetic reconnection occurring in distinct magnetic field configurations and contribute to chromospheric and coronal heating.

Properties of Chromospheric Fibrils Around a Quiescent Filament

Fibrils are dynamic plasma structures in the solar chromosphere. Studying these structures is critical for understanding solar atmospheric heating and mass transportation. The purpose of this study is to obtain the characteristics of fibrils surrounding the filament. By employing high-resolution H-alpha data obtained from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), we undertake a detailed analysis of the properties of 63 fibrils situated in the vicinity of the filament. Comparing the fibrils on both sides of the filament demonstrates that these fibrils have similar physical properties except for their orientation. The properties of fibrils are statistically measured, including lifetimes of 150-650 s, widths of 320-850 km, maximum lengths of 3-8.5 Mm, projection velocities of 7-29 km/s, and decelerations of 45-474 m/s2. The dominant oscillation period of fibrils is predominantly concentrated in the range of 4.8-6.6 minutes (2.5-3.5 mHz). Transverse oscillations are identified in a subset of fibrils, with periodicities of 269-289 s and phase speeds of 13.7-25.8 km/s, indicating the presence of kink-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves.

High-resolution Observations of a C9.3 White-light Flare and Its Impact on the Solar Photosphere

We present a detailed analysis of a C9.3 white-light flare using high-resolution observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST). The flare occurred near the eastern solar limb on September 11, 2023, within NOAA AR 13431, and produced beam electrons with energies just below 50 keV as observed by the the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) onboard the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S). Two white-light flare kernels were detected in the TiO band, connected by filamentary brightenings aligned with penumbral fibrils, suggesting a photospheric contribution to the white-light emission. Notably, the impact of the flare on the solar photosphere was characterized by sudden vortex flows and significant amplification of magnetic field in the white-light flare kernel region. We infer that this impact is driven by the propagation of flare-generated Alfv\'en wave pulses, which deposited energy into the photosphere. These observations support the potential role of the Alfv\'en wave mechanism in driving energy transport and heating during white-light flares.

The Observations of Magnetic Reconnection During the Interaction Process of Two Active Region Filaments

We investigate the interaction between two filaments (F1 and F2) and their subsequent magnetic reconnection in active region (AR) NOAA 13296 and AR NOAA 13293 on May 9, 2023, utilizing high spatial and temporal resolution and multi-wavelength observational data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, the New Vacuum Solar Telescope, and the Chinese H{\alpha} Solar Explorer. The movement of F1 from the southeast toward the northwest, driven by the motion of the positive magnetic polarity (P1), leads to a collision and reconnection with F2. This reconnection exchanges their footpoints, resulting in the formation of two new filaments (F3 and F4) consistent with "slingshot" type filament interaction. During the interaction, the current sheet moving due to the motion of F1 and the reconnection outflows moving along F3 and F4 were both observed. The current sheet is rarely observed in the slingshot type filament interaction, measuring approximately 2.17 Mm in length and 0.84 Mm in width. After the interaction, the F1 disappears whereas a portion of F2 remains, indicating that the interaction involves partial slingshot reconnection, due to the unequal magnetic flux between the filaments. The residual part of F2 will undergo another magnetic reconnection in the same interaction region with the magnetic loops connecting polarities N1 and P1. The material generated by the reconnection is continuously injected into F4, leading to its final morphology. The findings enhance our understanding of slingshot-type filament interactions, indicating that partial slingshot reconnections between filaments may be more common than full slingshot events.

Recurrent Jetlets Associated with the Disappearance of a Satellite Spot

Recurrent small-scale eruptions are fascinating phenomena in the solar atmosphere. However, their underlying physical mechanisms remain unclear. On 2021 May 23, five recurrent jetlets (J1-J5) were observed continuously ejecting from a satellite spot located at the north edge of AR 12824. Using high-resolution, multi-wavelength data from NVST, SDO, and IRIS, we investigate the physical characteristics of these jetlets and their relationship with the satellite spot. The widths of these jetlets range from 1300 to 2900 km, their lifetimes range span 3 to 10 minutes, and their projection speeds vary from 152.8 to 406.0 km s$^{-1}$. During the eruptions, the satellite spot moved northwest at a low speed of 376 $\pm$ 12 m s$^{-1}$. Its area gradually decreased due to magnetic cancellation with surrounding positive magnetic field, resulting in an average cancellation rate of 1.3$\times$10$^{18}$ Mx hr$^{-1}$. Dark lanes that separated from the satellite spot and small pores were observed to move toward nearby these features or dark lanes with opposite polarities, eventually disappearing during the magnetic cancellation process. J4 was driven by an eruption of a micro-filament. Spectral observations revealed a redshift on the right side of J4 and a blueshift on the left side of its base, suggesting a counterclockwise rotation. The horizontal magnetic field of the satellite spot consistently exhibited a vortex structure throughout its evolution until it vanished. The nonlinear force-free field extrapolation confirms that the satellite spot serves as one footpoint of a mini-flux rope. These observations reveal that these jetlets might result from three-dimensional null-point magnetic reconnection, initiated by the continuous eruption of a mini-flux-rope or multiple mini-flux-ropes, driven by sustained magnetic cancellation.

Tracking an eruptive intermediate prominence originating from the farside of the Sun

In this paper, we carry out multiwavelength and multiview observations of the eruption of an intermediate prominence originating from the farside of the Sun on 2023 March 12. The southeast footpoint of the prominence is located in active region (AR) 13252. The eruption generates a B7.8 class flare and a partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME). The prominence takes off at 02:00 UT and accelerates for nearly three hours. Rotation of the southeast leg of the prominence in the counterclockwise direction is revealed by spectroscopic and imaging observations. The apex of the prominence changes from a smooth loop to a cusp structure during the rising motion and the northwest leg displays a drift motion after 04:30 UT, implying a writhing motion. Hence, the prominence eruption is most likely triggered by ideal kink instability. For the first time, we apply the Graduated Cylindrical Shell (GCS) modeling in three-dimensional reconstruction and tracking of the prominence for nearly two hours. Both the source region (110$\degr$E, 43$\degr$N) and northwest footpoint (162$\degr$E, 44$\degr$N) are located. The edge-on and face-on angular widths of the prominence are $\sim$6$\degr$ and $\sim$86$\degr$, respectively. The axis has a tilt angle of $\sim$70$\degr$ with the meridian. The heliocentric distance of the prominence leading edge increases from $\sim$1.26\,$R_{\sun}$ to $\sim$2.27\,$R_{\sun}$. The true speed of the CME increases from $\sim$610 to $\sim$849 km s$^{-1}$.

Transverse Oscillations of Coronal Loops Induced by a Jet-Related Confined Flare on 11 July 2022

In this article, we report the multiwavelength and multiview observations of transverse oscillations of two loop strands induced by a jet-related, confined flare in active region NOAA 13056 on 11 July 2022. The jet originates close to the right footpoint of the loops and propagates in the northeast direction. The average rise time and fall time of the jet are $\approx$ 11 and $\approx$ 13.5 minutes, so that the lifetime of the jet reaches $\approx$ 24.5 minutes. The rising motion of the jet is divided into two phases with average velocities of $\approx$ 164 and $\approx$ 546\,km\,s$^{-1}$. The falling motion of the jet is coherent with an average velocity of $\approx$ 124\,km\,s$^{-1}$. The transverse oscillations of the loops, lasting for 3 $-$ 5 cycles, are of fundamental standing kink mode. The maximal initial amplitudes of the two strands are $\approx$ 5.8 and $\approx$ 4.9 Mm. The average periods are $\approx$ 405\,s and $\approx$ 407\,s. Both of the strands experience slow expansions during oscillations. The lower limits of the kink speed are 895$_{-17}^{+21}$\,km\,s$^{-1}$ for loop\_1 and 891$_{-35}^{+29}$\,km\,s$^{-1}$ for loop\_2, respectively. The corresponding lower limits of the Alfv\'{e}n speed are estimated to be 664$_{-13}^{+16}$\,km\,s$^{-1}$ and 661$_{-26}^{+22}$\,km\,s$^{-1}$.

Variation in the intensity ratio at each wavelength point of the Si iv 1394/1403 \AA\ lines. Spectral diagnostics of a bifurcated eruption

Aims. This study aims to investigate the deviation of the intensity ratio of the \ion{Si}{IV} 1394 \AA\ and 1403 \AA\ emission lines from the expected value of 2 in the optically thin regime, as observed in many recent studies. Methods. We analyzed the integrated intensity ratio ($R$) and the wavelength-dependent ratio ($r(\Delta\lambda)$) in a small bifurcated eruption event observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). Results. Despite the relatively complex line profiles, most of the intensity ratio $R$ of \ion{Si}{IV} lines remained greater than 2 in the loops. The ratio $r(\Delta\lambda)$ varied in the line core and wings, changing distinctly from 2.0 to 3.3 along the wavelength. At certain positions, the \ion{Si}{IV} 1394 \AA\ and 1403 \AA\ lines exhibited different Doppler velocities. Conclusions. When diagnosing the spectra of small active region events, not only the impact of opacity but also the influence of resonance scattering should be considered. We propose that the ratio $r(\Delta\lambda)$ can serve as an indicator of the resonance scattering and opacity effect of the \ion{Si}{IV} line.

Negative-energy waves in the vertical threads of a solar prominence

Solar prominences, intricate structures on the Sun's limb, have been a subject of fascination due to their thread-like features and dynamic behaviors. Utilizing data from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), Chinese H_alpha Solar Explorer (CHASE), and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), this study investigates the transverse swaying motions observed in the vertical threads of a solar prominence during its eruption onset on May 11, 2023. The transverse swaying motions were observed to propagate upward, accompanied by upflowing materials at an inclination of 31 degrees relative to the plane of the sky. These motions displayed small-amplitude oscillations with corrected velocities of around 3-4 km/s and periods of 13-17 minutes. Over time, the oscillations of swaying motion exhibited an increasing pattern in displacement amplitudes, oscillatory periods, and projected velocity amplitudes. Their phase velocities are estimated to be about 26-34 km/s. An important finding is that these oscillations'phase velocities are comparable to the upward flow velocities, measured to be around 30-34 km/s. We propose that this phenomenon is associated with negative-energy wave instabilities, which require comparable velocities of the waves and flows, as indicated by our findings. This phenomenon may contribute to the instability and observed disruption of the prominence. By using prominence seismology, the Alfven speed and magnetic field strength of the vertical threads have been estimated to be approximately 21.5 km/s and 2 Gauss, respectively. This study reveals the dynamics and magnetic properties of solar prominences, contributing to our understanding of their behavior in the solar atmosphere.

Imaging and spectroscopic observations of a confined solar filament eruption with two-stage evolution

Solar filament eruptions are often characterized by stepwise evolution due to the involvement of multiple mechanisms, such as magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and magnetic reconnection. In this article, we investigated a confined filament eruption with a distinct two-stage evolution by using the imaging and spectroscopic observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The eruption originated from a kinked filament thread that separated from an active region filament. In the first stage, the filament thread rose slowly and was obstructed due to flux pile-up in its front. This obstruction brought the filament thread into reconnection with a nearby loop-like structure, which enlarged the flux rope and changed its connectivity through the foot-point migration. The newly formed flux rope became more kink unstable and drove the rapid eruption in the second stage. It ascended into the upper atmosphere and initiated the reconnection with the overlying field. Finally, the flux rope was totally disintegrated, producing several solar jets along the overlying field. These observations demonstrate that the external reconnection between the flux rope and overlying field can destroy the flux rope, thus playing a crucial role in confining the solar eruptions.

The Decay of Two Adjacent Sunspots Associated with Moving Magnetic Features

The relationship between the decay of sunspots and moving magnetic features (MMFs) plays an important role in understanding the evolution of active regions. We present observations of two adjacent sunspots, the gap between them, and a lot of MMFs propagating from the gap and the sunspots' outer edges in NOAA Active Region 13023. The MMFs are divided into two types based on their magnetic field inclination angle: vertical (0°<γ<45°) and horizontal (45°<γ<90°) MMFs (V-MMFs and H-MMFs, respectively). The main results are as follows: (1) the mean magnetic flux decay rates of the two sunspots are -1.7*10^20 and -1.4*10^20 Mx/day; (2) the magnetic flux generation rate of all MMFs is calculated to be -1.9 *10^21 Mx/day, which is on average 5.6 times higher than the total magnetic flux loss rate of the sunspots; (3) the magnetic flux of V-MMFs (including a pore separated from the sunspots) is 1.4 times larger than the total lost magnetic flux of the two sunspots, and in a later stage when the pore has passed through the reference ellipse, the magnetic flux generation rate of the V-MMFs is almost the same as the magnetic flux loss rate of the sunspots; and (4) within the gap, the magnetic flux of V-MMFs is one third of the total magnetic flux. Few V-MMFs stream out from the sunspots at the nongap region. All observations suggest that MMFs with vertical magnetic fields are closely related to the disintegration of the sunspot, and most of the MMFs from the gap may originate directly from the sunspot umbra.

Simultaneous observations of a breakout current sheet and a flare current sheet in a coronal jet event

Previous studies have revealed that solar coronal jets triggered by the eruption of mini-filaments (MFs) conform to the famous magnetic-breakout mechanism. In such scenario, a breakout current sheet (BCS) and a flare current sheet (FCS) should be observed during the jets. With high spatial and temporal resolution data from the SDO, the NVST, the RHESSI, the Wind, and the GOES, we present observational evidence of a BCS and a FCS formation during coronal jets driven by a MF eruption occurring in the active region NOAA 11726 on 2013 April 21. Magnetic field extrapolation show that the MF was enclosed by a fan-spine magnetic structure. The MF was activated by flux cancellation under it, and then slowly rose. A BCS formed when the magnetic fields wrapping the MF squeezed to antidirectional external open fields. Simultaneously, one thin bright jet and two bidirectional jet-like structures were observed. As the MF erupted as a blowout jet, a FCS was formed when the two distended legs inside the MF field came together. One end of the FCS connected the post-flare loops. The peak temperature of BCS was calculated to be 2.5 MK. The length, width and peak temperature of FCS was calculated to be 4.35-4.93 Mm, 1.31-1.45 Mm, and 2.5 MK, respectively. The magnetic reconnection rate associated with the FCS was estimated to be from 0.266 to 0.333. This event also related to a type III radio burst, indicating its influence on interplanetary space. These observations support the scenario of the breakout model as the trigger mechanism of coronal jets, and flux cancellation was the driver of this event.

Onset mechanism of an inverted U-shaped solar filament eruption revealed by NVST, SDO, and STEREO-A observations

Utilizing observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-Ahead (STEREO-A), we investigate the event from two distinct observational perspectives: on the solar disk using NVST and SDO, and on the solar limb using STEREO-A. We employ both a non-linear force-free field model and a potential field model to reconstruct the coronal magnetic field, aiming to understand its magnetic properties. Two precursor jet-like activities were observed before the eruption, displaying an untwisted rotation. The second activity released an estimated twist of over two turns. During these two jet-like activities, Y-shaped brightenings, newly emerging magnetic flux accompanied by magnetic cancellation, and the formation of newly moving fibrils were identified. Combining these observational features, it can be inferred that these two precursor jet-like activities released the magnetic field constraining the filament and were triggered by newly emerging magnetic flux. Before the filament eruption, it was observed that some moving flows had been ejected from the site as the onset of two jet-like activities, indicating the same physical process as two jet-like activities. Extrapolations revealed that the filament laid under the height of the decay index of 1.0 and had strong magnetic field (540 Gauss) and a high twisted number (2.4 turns) before the eruption. An apparent rotational motion was observed during the filament eruption. We deduce that the solar filament, exhibiting an inverted U-shape, is a significantly twisted flux rope. The eruption of the filament was initiated by the release of constraining magnetic fields through continuous magnetic reconnection. This reconnection process was triggered by the emergence of newly magnetic flux.

Partial Eruption of Solar Filaments. I. Configuration and Formation of Double-decker Filaments

Partial eruptions of solar filaments are the typical representative of solar eruptive behavior diversity. Here we investigate a typical filament partial eruption event and present integrated evidence for configuration of the pre-eruption filament and its formation. The CHASE H$α$ observations reveal structured Doppler velocity distribution within the pre-eruption filament, where distinct redshift only appeared in the east narrow part of the south filament region and then disappeared after the partial eruption while the north part dominated by blueshift remained. Combining the SDO, ASO-S observations, and NLFFF modeling results, we verify that there were two independent material flow systems within the pre-flare filament, whose magnetic topology is a special double-decker configuration consisting of two magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) with opposite magnetic twist. During the formation of this filament system, continuous magnetic flux cancellation and footpoint motion were observed around its north end. Therefore, we propose a new double-decker formation scenario that the two MFRs composing such double-decker configuration originated from two magnetic systems with different initial connections and opposite magnetic twist. Subsequent magnetic reconnection with surrounding newly-emerging fields resulted in the motion of footpoint of the upper MFR to the region around footpoint of the lower MFR, thus leading to eventual formation of the double-decker configuration consisting of two MFRs with similar footpoints but opposite signs of magnetic twist. These results provide a potential way to determine unambiguously the progenitor configuration of a partial-eruptive filament and reveal a special type of double-decker MFR configuration and a new double-decker formation scenario.
