Original abstract

Coronal jets are highly dynamic phenomena in the solar atmosphere, yet their driving mechanisms remain an active topic of investigation. In this paper, we report a coronal jet triggered by the interaction between super-penumbral fibrils and a mini-filament, based on coordinated observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST), the Chinese H$α$ Solar Explorer (CHASE), and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The fibrils were anchored between the negative-polarity region of a sunspot and an emerging positive-polarity region associated with a moving magnetic feature (MMF). As the positive polarity migrated outward, the fibrils elongated and interacted with the mini-filament, one of whose footpoints was rooted in pre-existing negative-polarity fields. Intense brightenings at the interaction site, together with changes in the connectivity of the mini-filament footpoint from the pre-existing negative polarity to the sunspot, indicate the occurrence of magnetic reconnection. The event produced a narrow hot jet accompanied by a broader cool component. The cool plasma exhibited a clockwise rotation, providing evidence for the transfer of magnetic twist during reconnection. Persistent magnetic flux cancellation was observed before and during the jet eruption. These observations demonstrate that small-scale magnetic structures, such as MMFs, can significantly influence mini-filament eruptions and highlight the important role of flux cancellation in triggering coronal jet activity.
