Temporal evolution of the jet as seen in AIA 171 Å images. Along each row we present a series of six AIA images (each 20 × 18 Mm² in size) that depict a particular evolutionary stage of the jet. The circle, arrows, as well as horizontal and vertical dotted lines, drawn on several panels, point to a specific feature or phenomenon, as explained in Sect. 3.2.1. An animated version of this figure is available online.
