| Abstract : | Solar jets are the collimated ejection of plasma in the solar atmosphere. They are thought to
transport mass and energy through different layers of the solar atmosphere. These jets can
be classified as standard or blowout jets depending on the magnetic topology. After the
advent of advanced high-resolution imagers and spectrographs, these jets can be studied in
more detail. In this study, we explore the properties of transition region jets in Active Regions
(AR), Quiet Sun (QS), Coronal Holes (CH), and Plumes. We have utilised the data from the
Slit-Jaw Imager (SJI) onboard the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). This study
has enabled us to distinguish the properties of jets (such as velocity, length scale, and
lifetime) found in different areas of the solar atmosphere. The jets in the quiet sun are found
to have lesser velocity compared to the other regions. This velocity difference may be due to
the closed and less dense structure of the magnetic field lines in the quiet sun. The quiet sun
jets have a longer lifetime than the other regions as the velocity of these jets is lower than
other regions. We have calculated the energy flux corresponding to these jets and found the
values to be 13, 0.5, 19 and 8 kW /m^2 in AR, QS, CH and Plumes, respectively. These
energy flux values are sufficient to heat different coronal regions. |
