Abstract

Context. Solar jets play a role in the coronal heating and the supply of solar wind. Aims. This study calculated the energies of 23 small-scale jets emerging from a quiet-Sun region to investigate their contributions for coronal heating. Conclusions. Our observations suggest that although these jets cannot provide sufficient energy for the heating of the whole quiet-Sun coronal region, they are likely to account for a significant portion of the energy demand in the local regions where the jets occur.
