Descripción
Dynamical jets are generally found on light bridges (LBs), which are key
to studying sunspot decay. So far, their formation mechanism is not
fully understood. In this paper, we used state-of-the-art observations
from the Goode Solar Telescope, the Interface Region Imaging
Spectrograph, the Spectro-polarimeter on board Hinode, and the
Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics
Observatory to analyze the fan-shaped jets on LBs in detail. A
continuous upward motion of the jets in the ascending phase is found
from the Hα velocity that lasts for 12 minutes and is associated
with the Hα line wing enhancements. Two mini jets appear on the
bright fronts of the fan-shaped jets visible in the AIA 171 and 193
Å channels, with a time interval as short as 1 minute. Two kinds
of small-scale convective motions are identified in the photospheric
images, along with the Hα line wing enhancements. One seems to be
associated with the formation of a new convection cell, and the other
manifests as the motion of a dark lane passing through the convection
cell. The finding of three-lobe Stokes V profiles and their inversion
with the NICOLE code indicate that there are magnetic field lines with
opposite polarities in LBs. From the Hα ‑0.8 Å images,
we found ribbon-like brightenings propagating along the LBs, possibly
indicating slipping reconnection. Our observation supports the idea that
the fan-shaped jets under study are caused by magnetic reconnection, and
photospheric convective motions play an important role in triggering the
magnetic reconnection.

Los campos magnéticos están presentes en todos los plasmas astrofísicos y controlan la mayor parte de la variabilidad que se observa en el Universo a escalas temporales intermedias. Se encuentran en estrellas, a lo largo de todo el diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell, en galaxias, e incluso quizás en el medio intergaláctico. La polarización de la luz
