Scientific paper

We present results of an ongoing observational study of the physical properties and kinematics of polar coronal jets. While magnetic reconnection is considered the prime driving mechanism of the ejected plasma, the processes at work during reconnection are not yet completely understood. We use a combination of X-ray, UV, and visible-light imaging to probe the jet plasma, and we trace polar jets from their reconnection sites into the fast solar wind. Multi-instrument measurements of polar jets will put firm constraints on the mechanisms driving the jets and on the relative contribution of jets to the overall fast solar wind. This work is supported by NASA grant NNX09AH22G to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
