Abstract: Recent observations have revealed that many solar coronal jets involve the eruption of miniature versions of large-scale filaments. Such ”mini-filaments” are observed to form along the polarity inversion lines of strong, magnetically bipolar regions embedded in open (or distantly closing) unipolar field. During the generation of the jet, the filament becomes unstable and erupts. Recently we described a model for these mini-filament jets, in which the well-known magnetic-breakout mechanism f…
