Mystery Jet
|
XRT observed an impressive on-disk jet at ~01:20-01:40 UT on 7
February 2008. The jet originates in a small emerging flux region
(EFR) and curves over toward a larger pre-existing active region (AR).
There are several mysteries though: the jet seems to originate
somewhere in the space above the EFR but does not connect in any
obvious way with any of the loops seen in the emerging region; the
jet curves toward the large AR, but does not seem to reach it; and
the jet splits into numerous strands (at least three) as it develops.
