Abstract: | Using data from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), and Hida Observatory (HO), we present a detailed study of an EUV jet and the associated Hα filament eruption in
a major flare in the active region NOAA 10044 on 29 July 2002. In the Hα line wings, a small filament was found to erupt out
from the magnetic neutral line of the active region during the flare. Two bright EUV loops were observed rising and expanding
with the filament eruption, and both hot and cool EUV plasma ejections were observed to form the EUV jet. The two thermal
components spatially separated from each other and lasted for about 25 minutes. In the white-light corona data, a narrow coronal
mass ejection (CME) was found to respond to this EUV jet. We cannot find obvious emerging flux in the photosphere accounting
for the filament eruption and the EUV jet. However, significant sunspot decay and magnetic-flux cancelation owing to collision
of opposite flux before the events were noticed. Based on the hard X-ray data from RHESSI, which showed evidence of magnetic
reconnection along the main magnetic neutral line, we think that all of the observed dynamical phenomena, including the EUV
jet, filament eruption, flare, and CME, should have a close relation to the flux cancelation in the low atmosphere. |
