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…

A wide variety of phenomena such as gentle but persistent brightening, dynamic slender features (~100 km), and compact (~1'') ultraviolet (UV) bursts are associated with the heating of the solar chromosphere. High spatio-temporal resolution…
