Abstract

The characteristics of dynamic phenomena observed in the EUV with the HRTS instruments, chromospheric jets and explosive events, are reviewed here. Most of the review is devoted to explosive events that are short duration explosions involving a plasma at 105 K. These events are characterised by strong Doppler shifts rather than by brightness enhancements, contrary to EUV impulsive brightenings observed by SMM. They are presumably due to magnetic reconnection involving unresolved fine structures of the magnetic field near the network. The role of the density of concentrated magnetic fluxtubes in a reconnection scenario has still to be understood.
