Abstract
Peculiar high-speed X-ray jets associated with the 18 June 1999 limb flares have directly been observed with the soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh. The jets have a much shorter lifetime (within 200 s) and a much larger velocity (∼ 1700 km s−1) than the previously reported jets. Judged from their large velocity, the kinetic energy of the jets is approximately one order of magnitude larger than the thermal energy content, which is far different from the jets previously reported by other researchers. Here we present the preliminary results and discuss the particular features of the jets.
