We present a comprehensive study of a series of recurrent jets that occurred at the periphery of the NOAA active region 12114 on 2014 July 7. These jets were found to share the same source region and exhibited rotational motions as they propagated outward. The multi-wavelength imaging observations made by the AIA and {it IRIS} telescopes reveal that some of the jets contain cool plasma only, while some others contain not only cool but also hot plasma. The Doppler velocities calculated from the {it IRIS} spectra show a continuous evolution from blue to red shifts as the jet motions change from upward to downward. Additionally, some jets exhibit opposite Doppler shifts on their both sides, indicative of rotating motions along their axes. The inclination angle and three-dimensional velocity of the largest jet were inferred from the imaging and spectroscopic observations, which show a high consistence with those derived from the stereoscopic analysis using dual-perspective observations by {it SDO}/AIA and {it STEREO}-B/EUVI. By relating the jets to the local UV/EUV and full-disk {it GOES} X-ray emission enhancements, we found that the previous five small-scale jets were triggered by five bright points while the last/largest one was triggered by a C1.6 solar flare. Together with a number of type III radio bursts generated during the jet eruptions as well as a weak CME that was observed in association with the last jet, our observations provide evidences in support of multi-scale magnetic reconnection processes being responsible for the production of jet events.

Coronal jets represent important manifestations of ubiquitous solar transients, which may be the source of significant mass and energy input to the upper solar atmosphere and the solar wind. While the energy involved in a jet-like event is smaller th an that of nominal solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), jets share many common properties with these phenomena, in particular, the explosive magnetically driven dynamics. Studies of jets could, therefore, provide critical insight for understanding the larger, more complex drivers of the solar activity. On the other side of the size-spectrum, the study of jets could also supply important clues on the physics of transients close or at the limit of the current spatial resolution such as spicules. Furthermore, jet phenomena may hint to basic process for heating the corona and accelerating the solar wind; consequently their study gives us the opportunity to attack a broad range of solar-heliospheric problems.

White-light images from Heliospheric Imager-1 (HI1) onboard the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) provide 2-dimensional (2D) global views of solar wind transients traveling in the inner heliosphere from two perspectives. How to retriev e the hidden three-dimensional (3D) features of the transients from these 2D images is intriguing but challenging. In our previous work (Li et al., 2018), a correlation-aided method is developed to recognize the solar wind transients propagating along the Sun-Earth line based on simultaneous HI1 images from two STEREO spacecraft. Here the method is extended from the Sun-Earth line to the whole 3D space to reconstruct the solar wind transients in the common field of view of STEREO HI1 cameras. We demonstrate the capability of the method by showing the 3D shapes and propagation directions of a coronal mass ejection (CME) and three small-scale blobs during 3-4 April 2010. Comparing with some forward modeling methods, we found our method reliable in terms of the position, angular width and propagation direction. Based on our 3D reconstruction result, an angular distorted, nearly North-South oriented CME on 3 April 2010 is revealed, manifesting the complexity of a CMEs 3D structure.
The CoRoT mission is in its third year of observation and the data from the second long run in the galactic centre direction are being analysed. The solar-like oscillating stars that have been observed up to now have given some interesting results, s pecially concerning the amplitudes that are lower than predicted. We present here the results from the analysis of the star HD 170987.The goal of this research work is to characterise the global parameters of HD 170987. We look for global seismic parameters such as the mean large separation, maximum amplitude of the modes, and surface rotation because the signal-to-noise ratio in the observations do not allow us to measure individual modes. We also want to retrieve the stellar parameters of the star and its chemical composition.We have studied the chemical composition of the star using ground-based observations performed with the NARVAL spectrograph. We have used several methods to calculate the global parameters from the acoustic oscillations based on CoRoT data. The light curve of the star has been interpolated using inpainting algorithms to reduce the effect of data gaps. We find power excess related to p modes in the range [400 - 1200]muHz with a mean large separation of 55.2+-0.8muHz with a probability above 95% that increases to 55.9 +-0.2muHz in a higher frequency range [500 - 1250] muHz and a rejection level of 1%. A hint of the variation of this quantity with frequency is also found. The rotation period of the star is estimated to be around 4.3 days with an inclination axis of i=50 deg +20/-13. We measure a bolometric amplitude per radial mode in a range [2.4 - 2.9] ppm around 1000 muHz. Finally, using a grid of models, we estimate the stellar mass, M=1.43+-0.05 Msun, the radius, R=1.96+-0.046 Rsun, and the age ~2.4 Gyr.

Current sheet is believed to be the region of energy dissipation via magnetic reconnection in solar flares. However, its properties, for example, the dynamic process, have not been fully understood. Here we report a current sheet in a solar flare (SO L2017-09-10T16:06) that was clearly observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory as well as the EUV Imaging Spectrometer on Hinode. The high-resolution imaging and spectroscopic observations show that the current sheet is mainly visible in high temperature (>10 MK) passbands, particularly in the Fe XXIV 192.03 line with a formation temperature of ~18 MK. The hot Fe XXIV 192.03 line exhibits very large nonthermal velocities up to 200 km/s in the current sheet, suggesting that turbulent motions exist there. The largest turbulent velocity occurs at the edge of the current sheet, with some offset with the strongest line intensity. At the central part of the current sheet, the turbulent velocity is negatively correlated with the line intensity. From the line emission and turbulent features we obtain a thickness in the range of 7--11 Mm for the current sheet. These results suggest that the current sheet has internal fine and dynamic structures that may help the magnetic reconnection within it proceeds efficiently.
Context. The remote observations of solar flare ion acceleration are rather limited. There are theoretical predictions for signatures of ion acceleration in EUV line profiles. Previous tests involve observations of flares with no evidence for energet ic ions. Aims. We aim to examine a source flare of impulsive (or 3He-rich) solar energetic particle events with EUV line spectroscopy. Methods. We inspect all (90+) reported 3He-rich flares of previous solar cycle 23 and find only four (recurrent) jets in the field of view of SOHO CDS. The jet with the most suitable spatial and temporal coverage is analyzed in detail. Results. Two enhanced (non-thermal) line broadenings are observed in the cooler chromospheric / transition-region lines and they are localized near the site where the closed magnetic loops reconnect with the open magnetic field lines. Both enhanced broadenings are found in the sites with redshifts in the lines, surrounded by the region with blueshifts. One enhanced line broadening is associated with a small flare without energetic particle signatures while another occurs just after the particle acceleration signatures of the main flare terminated. Conclusions. The observed excess broadening appears to be not directly related to the energetic ion production and motions. Further investigations where the critical impulsive phase of the flare is covered are required, ideally with high-resolution spectrometers intentionally pointed to the 3He-rich solar energetic particle source.
