Abstract

This database constitutes the first release of data from the Solar Jet Hunter project. Solar Jet Hunter is a Zooniverse-based citizen science project that has, since 2021, enlisted volunteers from the general public to help identify extreme ultraviolet jets of plasma in the Sun’s corona. These jets release magnetic energy at the Sun and enable streams of plasma and energetic particles to escape to the solar system, but the origins of and mechanisms underlying these jets are still not understood. In Solar Jet Hunter, videos of possible jets are presented to volunteers, who are asked to identify whether a jet is present, and if so, its start time, end time, and base location. Volunteers also box the jet, providing information on its shape and height over time. The results from many volunteers are then aggregated into consensus results for each potential jet in the study. Those results are listed in this data set. The data presented to volunteers is from the Solar Dynamic Observatory / Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument, specifically the 304 angstrom filter, and all of the candidate jets were identified as possible jets in the Heliophysics Event Knowledgebase (HEK). The data set included here lists Solar Jet Hunter results from the years 2011 through 2016.

Description

Data are in the form of CSV and JSON files that include information about each jet found by the project. For each jet, the primary information included is the date, time, and duration of the event, the basepoint X and Y coordinates in arcsec and latitude/longitude, the maximum height to which the jet was observed, the width, and velocity. Auxiliary information is also included.
