Context: Hot coronal jets are a basic observed feature of the solar atmosphere whose physical origin is still being actively debated. Aims: We study six recurrent jets occurring in the active region NOAA 12644 on April 04, 2017. They are…

In this paper, we carry out multiwavelength observations of three recurring jets on 2014 November 7. The jets originated from the same region at the edge of AR 12205 and propagated along the same coronal loop. The eruptions were generated…
