Ellerman bombs (EBs) are the transient brightening always found in the far wings of the Balmer lines. It is thought to be a signature of the magnetic reconnection, but it’s mechanism is not fully understood. In this talk, I will introduce my investigation on the photospheric features, magnetic features, and chromospheric features associated with the Ellerman bombs using the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory.

    First, I present a comprehensive picture of the total evolution of an EB. I found a granular cell expanding in two opposite directions prior to the EB. When one end of this granule reached the EB site, the transverse speed of the tip of the expanding granule rapidly decreased and the EB is brightened. I also found upflows of the internal mass of the EB, and we found a surge after the occurrence of the EB.

　　Second, I investigate the elongated granule-like features (EGFs) that show transverse motions with an average speed of about 3.8 km/s prior to the EBs. The EGFs were found to be accompanied by emerging fluxes (EFs) or moving magnetic features (MMFs).

　　Third, I present a surge consisting of multiple shock features. The shock features were overlapped with one another with the time inverval of 110 sec. I found the signature of the magnetic flux cancelations at the base of the surge.

　　Our results provide comprehensive understanding of the cause and effect of EBs. The EBs might result from the magnetic reconnection forced by EFs or MMFs that are frequently manifested by EGFs. Furthermore, it is found that the EBs may lead to the multiple shock waves in charge of the surge.
