Chromospheric H-alpha surge as observed by GONG
On 9 September 2025, GONG/Learmonth station captured H-alpha surge (H-alpha jet) in a close proximity to the main sunspot of active region 14207. H-alpha jets appear as eruptions along narrow collimated path. The surges are accompanied by micro-flares at its base, followed by the eruption of a dark material. Some surges show rotational motions. The surges are modeled as a reconnection events between the opened magnetic fields and closed magnetic fields of emerging regions (see below for magnetic field configuration by Yuandeng Shen (2021, doi: 10.1098/rspa.2020.0217)). Small-scale solar jets play an important role in supplying material and energy to the solar wind. Larger jet may contribute to space weather.
