Recent observations with the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter have revealed the smallest of such brightenings (called campfires) in the quiet-Sun corona. Analyzing EUI 174 Å data obtained at a resolution of about 400 km on the Sun with a cadence of 5 s on 30 May 2020, we report here a number of cases in which these campfires exhibit propagating signatures along their apparently small (3-5 Mm) loop-like structures. The measured propagation speeds are generally between 25 km s−1 and 60 km s−1. If the loop plasma is assumed to be at a million Kelvin, these apparent motions would be slower than the local sound speed. Furthermore, these brightenings exhibit nontrivial propagation characteristics such as bifurcation, merging, reflection, and repeated plasma ejections. We suggest that these features are manifestations of the internal dynamics of these small-scale magnetic structures and could provide important insights into the dynamic response (∼40 s) of the loop plasma to the heating events and also into the locations of the heating events themselves.
