The dataset comprises of simultaneous imaging in the H{\\alpha} core, Ca II K, and G band, together with photo- spheric line-of-sight magnetograms. Time-distance techniques are employed to determine projected plane-of-sky velocities. The H{\\alpha} images are highly dynamic in nature, with estimated jet velocities as high as 45 km s^{-1}. These jets are one-directional, with their origin seemingly linked to underlying Ca II K brightenings and G-band magnetic bright points. It is suggested that the siphon flow model of cool coronal loops is suitable for the interpretation of our observations. The jets are associated with small-scale explosive events, and may provide a mass outflow from the photosphere to the corona.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-08-04T10:51:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "solar chromosphere", "g-band magnetic bright points", "siphon flow model", "cool coronal loops", "spatial resolution observations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/0004-6361/201117427", "journal": "Astronomy and Astrophysics", "year": 2011, "month": "Sep", "volume": 533 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 922239, "adsabs": "2011A&A...533A..76K" } } }
