Kawate,Hiroko Watanabe,Shin’ichi Nagata,Satoru Ueno,Reizaburo Kitai,Satoshi Nozawa,Saku Tsuneta,Yoshinori Suematsu,Kiyoshi Ichimoto,Toshifumi Shimizu,Yukio Katsukawa,Theodore D. Tarbell,Thomas E. Berger,Bruce W. Lites,Richard A. Shine,Alan M. Title +21 more
TL;DR: Hinode observations of chromospheric anemone jets suggest that magnetic reconnection similar to that in the corona is occurring at a much smaller spatial scale throughout the chromosphere, and suggest that the heating of the solar chromosphere and corona may be related to small-scale ubiquitous reconnection.
