TL;DR
This paper reviews the observational characteristics, physical models, and unresolved questions related to solar jets, which are key plasma ejections in the solar atmosphere influencing various solar phenomena.
Contribution
It synthesizes recent high-resolution observations and discusses how they inform and constrain theoretical models of solar jets.
Findings
High-resolution observations reveal detailed jet structures.
Observations suggest magnetic reconnection as a key process.
Unresolved questions remain about jet initiation mechanisms.
Abstract
The solar atmosphere is full of complicated transients manifesting the reconfiguration of solar magnetic field and plasma. Solar jets represent collimated, beam-like plasma ejections; they are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere and important for the understanding of solar activities at different scales, magnetic reconnection process, particle acceleration, coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, as well as other related phenomena. Recent high spatiotemporal resolution, wide-temperature coverage, spectroscopic, and stereoscopic observations taken by ground-based and space-borne solar telescopes have revealed many valuable new clues to restrict the development of theoretical models. This review aims at providing the reader with the main observational characteristics of solar jets, physical interpretations and models, as well as unsolved outstanding questions in future studies.
