New instrumental and telescopes covering the optical and ultra-violet spectral regions have revealed a range of small-scale dynamic features, many which may be related. For example, the range of spicule-like features hints towards a…
Spicules were recently found to exist as two types when a new class of so-called type II spicules was discovered at the solar limb with Hinode. The type II spicules have been linked with on-disk observations of Rapid Blue-shifted Excursions…
We show signatures of spicules termed Rapid Blue-shifted Excursions (RBEs) in the Si iv 1394 {\AA} emission line using a semi-automated detection approach. We use the H{\alpha} filtergrams obtained by the CRISP imaging spectropolarimeter on…
We used \ha-0.1 nm and magnetic field (at 1.56$\mu$) data obtained with the New Solar Telescope to study the origin of the disk counterparts to type II spicules, so-called rapid blueshifted excursions (RBEs). The high time cadence of our…
Chromospheric observations taken at high cadence and high spatial resolution show a range of spicule like features, including Type I, Type II (as well as RBEs and RREs) and those which seem to appear within a few seconds, which if…
Chromospheric rapid blueshifted excursions (RBEs) are suggested to be the disk counterparts of type II spicules at the limb and believed to contribute to the coronal heating process. Previous identification of RBEs was mainly based on…
Spicules are ubiquitous, fast moving jets observed off-limb in chromospheric spectral lines. Combining the recently-launched Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph with the Solar Dynamics Observatory and Hinode, we have a unique opportunity…
Rapid Blue Excursions (RBEs) are transient blue-shifted chromospheric absorption features widely interpreted as the on-disk counterparts of Type II solar spicules. We investigate their dynamic properties using high-cadence spectral…
We analyse high temporal and spatial resolution time-series of spectral scans of the Halpha line obtained with the CRisp Imaging SpectroPolarimeter (CRISP) instrument mounted on the Swedish Solar Telescope. The data reveal highly dynamic,…
Recently a second type of spicules was discovered at the solar limb with the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard the Japanese Hinode spacecraft. These previously unrecognized type II spicules are thin chromospheric jets that are…
Recently, it was shown that the complex dynamical behaviour of spicules has to be interpreted as the result of simultaneous action of three kinds of motion: (1) field aligned flows, (2) swaying motions, and (3) torsional motions. We use…
Recently, De Pontieu et al. (2007b) discovered a class of spicules that evolves more rapidly than previously known spicules, with rapid apparent motions of 50--150 km s${}^{-1}$, thickness of a few 100 km, and lifetimes of order 10--60…
We use coordinated observations with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) to identify the disk counterpart of type II spicules in upper-chromospheric and transition region (TR)…
The type II spicule has been speculated to provide enough hot plasma to play an important role in the mass loading and heating of the corona. We analyse the disc counterpart to type II spicules, RBEs, in three high quality datasets from…
Rapid Blue- and Red-shifted Excursions (RBEs and RREs) are likely to be the on-disk counterparts of Type II spicules. Recently, heating signatures from RBEs/RREs have been detected in IRIS slit-jaw images dominated by transition-region…
We performed a 3D radiative MHD simulation of the solar atmosphere. This simulation shows a jet-like feature that shows similarities to the type II spicules observed for the first time with Hinode. Rapid Blueshifted Events (RBEs) on the…
Spicules are the thin hair/grass-like structures that are prominently observed at the chromospheric solar limb. It is believed that fibrils and rapid blueshifted and redshifted excursions (RBEs and RREs; collectively referred to as REs)…
Spicules are ubiquitous, small-scale features in the solar atmosphere, exhibiting a jet-like appearance most clearly identified by their apparent motion in off-limb observations. While they are often interpreted as narrow, thread-like…
High-speed downflows have been observed in the solar transition region (TR) and lower corona for many decades. Despite their abundance, it has been hard to find signatures of such downflows in the solar chromosphere. In this work, we target…
We report early-time ultraviolet (UV) and optical spectroscopy of the young, nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2022wsp obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/STIS at about 10 and 20 days after the explosion. The SN 2022wsp UV spectra are…
