We present the observations of a blowout jet that experienced two distinct ejection stages. The first stage started from the emergence of a small positive magnetic polarity, which cancelled with the nearby negative magnetic field and caused the rising of a mini-filament and its confining loops. This further resulted in a small jet due to the magnetic reconnection between the rising confining loops and the overlying open field. The second ejection stage was mainly due to the successive removal of the confining field by the reconnection. Thus that the filament erupted and the erupting cool filament material directly combined with the hot jet originated form the reconnection region and therefore formed the cool and hot components of the blowout jet. During the two ejection stages, cool Hα jets are also observed cospatial with their coronal counterparts, but their appearance times are earlier than the hot coronal jets a few minutes. Therefore, the hot coronal jets are possibly caused by the heating of the cool Hα jets, or the rising of the reconnection height from chromosphere to the corona. The scenario that magnetic reconnection occurred between the confining loops and the overlying open loops are supported by many observational facts, including the bright patches on the both sides of the mini-filament, hot plasma blobs along the jet body, and periodic metric radio type III bursts at the very beginnings of the two stages. The evolution and characteristics of these features manifest the detailed non-linear process in the magnetic reconnection.
Winking (oscillating) filaments have been observed for many years. However, observations of successive winking filaments in one event have not been reported yet. In this paper, we present the observations of a chain of winking filaments and a subsequent jet that are observed right after the X2.1 flare in AR11283. The event also produced an Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave that has two components: upward dome-like wave (850 km s −1 ) and lateral surface wave (554 km s −1 ) which was very weak (or invisible) in imaging observations. By analyzing the temporal and spatial relationships between the oscillating filaments and the EUV waves, we propose that all the winking filaments and the jet were triggered by the weak (or invisible) lateral surface EUV wave. The oscillation of the filaments last for two or three cycles, and their periods, Doppler velocity amplitudes, and damping times are 11 -22 minutes, 6 -14 km s −1 , and 25 -60 minutes, respectively. We further estimate the radial component magnetic field and the maximum kinetic energy of the filaments, and they are 5 -10 Gauss and ∼ 10 19 J, respectively. The estimated maximum kinetic energy is comparable to the minimum energy of ordinary EUV waves, suggesting that EUV waves can efficiently launch filament oscillations on their path. Based on our analysis results, we conclude that the EUV wave is a good agent for triggering and connecting successive but separated solar activities in the solar atmosphere, and it is also important for producing solar sympathetic eruptions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
