This study reveals a new feature of many solar jets: a group height, which links their acceleration and velocity. The acceleration and velocity (a,V) for jets such as spicules, often displayed as scattergraphs, show a strong correlation.…

Coronal jets are short-lived eruptive features commonly observed in polar coronal holes and are thought to play a key role in the transfer of mass and energy into the solar corona. We describe unique contemporaneous observations of a…

The formation of jets such as dynamic fibrils, mottles, and spicules in the solar chromosphere is one of the most important, but also most poorly understood, phenomena of the Sun's magnetized outer atmosphere. We use extremely…
