Caption: Figure 2.

Jet-1 observed near the S-hook region. (a1)–(a2) and (b1)–(b2) EUV images showing the expansion of the HFR’s eastern elbow and its associated S-hook, respectively. The red dashed and solid circles highlight the footpoint of a flux rope bundle prior to and after its drifting. The white contours of the S-hook at Jet-1 onset (from panel (b1)) are overlaid on panel (b2) after the termination of Jet-1. (c1)–(c2) Time–distance diagrams of Jet-1, sliced along the yellow arrow indicated in panel (b1). A 2.2 s animation using AIA 131, 304, and 171 Å passbands shows reconnection Jet-1 from 17:00:44–17:46:12 UT.
