and Equatorial Coronal-hole Jet

This study investigates the phenomenon of interchange reconnection at the boundaries of coronal holes and its connection to coronal jets. By analyzing AIA data and Correlation Dimension Mapping, we quantify the spatial and temporal variations in boundary complexity, revealing how local magnetic reconnection drives the dynamics of these regions. We observe the transient nature of reconnection, occurring at small scales and localized areas, often preceding jet emissions. Our results suggest a strong correlation between the magnetic reconfiguration at the boundary and the observed jet eruptions. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms behind coronal jet formation and the role of boundary interactions in solar atmospheric dynamics.
