Abstract: Observations from the Hinode X-ray telescope (XRT) are used to study the structure of X-ray bright points (XBPs), sources of coronal jets. Several jet events are found to erupt from S-shaped bright points, suggesting that coronal micro-sigmoids are progenitors of the jets. The observations may help to explain numerous characteristics of coronal jets, such as helical structures and shapes. They also suggest that solar activity may be self-similar within a wide range of scales in terms of both properties and evolution of the observed coronal structures.
