Caption: Figure 2.

Top two rows: jetlike structures embedded inside the moss/plage area in NOAA 12235. Left panels: 17.1 nm images recorded at 10:05:11 (December 14) and 00:39:23 UT (December 16). Middle panels: same as the left panels, but with an unsharp mask applied to the images. Right panels: corresponding magnetograms recorded at 10:04:54 and 00:39:24 UT and saturated at ±20 G. Circles of radius 20″ contain inverted-Y structures (arrowed) that are rooted inside the negative-polarity plage. In the images taken at 00:39 UT, a box (of width 15″) encloses a surge-like feature located near the outer edge of the plage. Bottom row: looplike fine structure embedded within moss/plage in NOAA 12351, as observed on 2015 May 23 when the AR (centered at N22°) was near central meridian. Left panel: 17.1 nm image recorded at 14:00:11 UT. Middle panel: same as the left panel, but with an unsharp mask applied. Right panel: corresponding magnetogram recorded at 13:59:53 UT and saturated at ±20 G. Some of the looplike features within the circled area (radius 20″), including those marked by arrows, have both legs rooted inside the negative-polarity plage.
