Descripción
Coronal jets represent important manifestations of ubiquitous solar
transients, which may be the source of significant mass and energy input
to the upper solar atmosphere and the solar wind. While the energy
involved in a jet-like event is smaller than that of "nominal" solar
flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), jets share many common
properties with these phenomena, in particular, the explosive
magnetically driven dynamics. Studies of jets could, therefore, provide
critical insight for understanding the larger, more complex drivers of
the solar activity. On the other side of the size-spectrum, the study of
jets could also supply important clues on the physics of transients
close or at the limit of the current spatial resolution such as
spicules. Furthermore, jet phenomena may hint to basic process for
heating the corona and accelerating the solar wind; consequently their
study gives us the opportunity to attack a broad range of
solar-heliospheric problems.
