    Description: Spectro-astrometry is a technique to obtain information about the structure of an astronomical source on sub-diffraction limited spatial scales down to milli- or micro-arcseconds. The method exploits the shift of the photocentre of a structured source over emission/absorption lines in its spectral energy distribution. Sub-diffraction limited resolution can be achieved because the method only uses wavelength-differential information of longslit spectra. Although spectro-astrometry has already been devised by Bailey (1998) and some studies have been performed to date on different astronomic targets, so far, no systematic analysis of the potential of this technique has been undertaken. The aim of this work was to analyse the potential of the method, develop the tools to exploit this potential and write the software which is needed to perform the analysis procedure. To verify the practical feasibility, observations were done with the VLT/CRIRES facility to demonstrate the capabilities of the method with respect to detecting structures on giant star surfaces. All steps of data reduction were analysed with respect to their influence on the spectro-astrometric quantities and a new method for bad pixel detection was devised and implemented ...

    Description: This thesis deals with the high-energy emission from young stellar objects, which are on the one hand still actively accreting from their disk, and on the other hand are no longer deeply obscured by their natal cloud. Stars of spectral type B and A are called Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars in this stage, all stars of later spectral type are termed classical T Tauri stars (CTTS); strictly speaking both types are defined by spectroscopic signatures, which are equivalent to the evolutionary stage described above. In this thesis CTTS and HAeBes are studied through high-resolution X-ray and UV spectroscopy and through detailed physical simulations. Spectroscopic X-ray data is reduced and presented for two targets: The CTTS V4046 Sgr was observed with Chandra for 100 ks, using a high-resolution grating spectrometer. The lightcurve contains one flare and the He-like triplets of Si XIII, Ne IX and O VII indicate high densities in the X-ray emitting regions. The second target is the HAeBe HD 163296, which was observed with XMM-Newton for 130 ks. The lightcurve shows only moderate variability, the elemental abundance follows a pattern, that is usual for active stars. The He-like triplet of O VII exhibits line ratios similar to coronal sources, indicating that neither a high density nor a strong UV-field is present in the region of the X-ray emission ...

    Description: Many stars evolve not alone but along one or more companions. While the evolution of single isolated stars is well predicted by theoretical calculations, close binary systems with their interactions are on the one hand far more difficult to handle, but on the other hand well constrained in their masses and sizes. One mechanism thought to produce such close binaries is the Common Envelope Evolution (CEE). Especially young post CEE binaries show great temperature differences between both components of about a factor 10 at a separation of just a few solar radii. This work focuses on close binary systems with a hot primary component (e.g. a subdwarf O-type star (sdO)) and a much cooler secondary component (e.g. a main-sequence star), which is heavily influenced by external radiation originating from the first. The technique to include external radiation into the stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX, i.e., the deviation of the outer boundary condition and the change in the temperature correction method, is described in detail. To concentrate on the irradiation effect, other difficulties such as asymmetric effects due to tear-drop shaped stars, ongoing mass accretion or shadows of a circumbinary disc, are avoided by selecting pre-cataclysmic variables (pre CVs) out of the class of close binaries as laboratory. The total eclipsing binary system UU~Sagittae is used as an example for massive irradiation and observed spectral features in the optical are fitted ...

    Description: The term "stellar activity" summarizes a number of phenomena on the stellar surface and in the stellar atmosphere. The origin of many of these phenomena are changes in the structure of the stellar magnetic field. While it is possible to directly observe different forms of activity on the Sun in great detail, this remains impossible for other stars. However, by analyzing the spectra of these stars, information about their activity can be obtained. This thesis addresses two aspects of activity: First, the X-ray emission from the positions of A-type stars and a possible mechanism to produce these X-rays and second, the chromospheric activity in the spectral range from late A- to late K-type stars. Since the dynamo, which is responsible for the activity of solar-like stars, emerges in the range of late A- to early F-type stars, this spectral range is of special interest for the understanding of the activity phenomena. To study the X-ray activity of A-type stars, their optical positions as given in the Bright Star Catalogue were compared with the positions of the X-ray sources listed in the ROSAT catalogs. The matching criteria for the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data were 90 arcseconds, 36 arcseconds for the pointing observations with the PSPC and 18 arcseconds for HRI data. Those stars which could be associated with X-ray sources were tested for indications of hidden late-type companions. Variations in the radial velocity, the proper motion, and the light curve were interpreted as signs for binarity...

    Description: In this work, nonanalytical line profiles for both cool and hot, dense atmospheres are added to the opacity calculations of the multipurpose stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX. Their influence on model atmospheres and synthetic spectra is studied. Model atmospheres are necessary in order to calculate synthetic spectra and to derive reliable stellar parameters. For cool, dense atmospheres, i.e., of objects of spectral type similar to and lower than latetype M, vanderWaals broadening is the most important pressure broadening mechanism. The spectra of these objects below ~1 micro-meter are dominated by alkali resonance lines. The profiles of the alkali resonance lines, especially of Na ID and KI, determine mostly the pseudo continuum in this wavelength range. Up to this work, classical analytical impact approximated alkali near line wing profiles perturbed by H2, He, and HI, which are the dominant perturbing particles, have been applied. In this work, various nonanalytical alkali line profiles, including far line wing and near line wing profiles, for Na I D, Li I, KI, and Rb I are included in order to describe the strong alkali absorption features which are characteristic for latetype dwarfs. For the alkali resonance line profiles, different theoretical approaches were used describing the far and near line wings. Non analytical alkali profiles for the far and near line wings perturbed by H2 and He are provided in the unified semiclassical theory...

    Description: Die H.E.S.S. Kollaboration betreibt ein stereoskopisches System aus vier großen abbildenden Cherenkov-Teleskopen für den Nachweis sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung (VHE; 〉 100 GeV). In dieser Arbeit wird über den Nachweis zweier neuer Quellen sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung mit den H.E.S.S.-Teleskopen berichtet. Die extragalaktische Quelle 1ES0347-121 gehört zur Klasse der BL Lac Objekte und ist der aktive Kern einer entfernten Galaxie. Detektiert mit einer Signifikanz von mehr als 10 Standard-Abweichungen, ist es die bisher am weitesten entfernte Quelle sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung (Rotverschiebung z = 0.1880). Ihr Energiespektrum läßt sich gut durch ein Potenzgesetz mit Photonindex Gamma = 3.08 +/- 0.23_stat +/- 0.1_sys beschreiben. Der integrale Fluss I(E 〉250GeV) entspricht ~2% des Flusses des Krebsnebels. Mit Hilfe des hochenergetische Gamma-Strahlungsspektrum von 1ES 0347-121 werden Einschränkungen auf die Dichte des extragalaktischen diffusen Photonfeldes bestimmt (s. unten). Bei der zweiten Quelle handelt es sich um die ausgehnte Quelle HESS J1023-577, die mit dem jungen, massiven Sternenhaufen Westerlund 2 und dessen Umgebung assoziert wird. Junge und massereichen Sterne strahlen starke Sternenwinde ab, die durch Schockbeschleunigung hochenergetische Teilchen produzieren können. Zum erstenmal konnte eine Quelle sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung mit einer solchen Umgebung sicher identifiziert werden. Das Energiespekrum reicht von ~400GeV bis ~20TeV und läßt sich gut durch eine Potenzgesetz mit Photonindex Gamma=2.53 +/- 0.16_stat +/- 0.1_syst beschreiben.

    Description: Unter stellarer Aktivität werden eine Reihe von Phänomenen in den unterschiedlichen Atmosphärenschichten zusammengefasst, die eng mit dem Magnetfeld des einzelnen Sterns verbunden sind. Da eine direkte Auflösung der Sternoberfläche, wie uns dies bei der Sonne möglich ist, für aktive Sterne noch in ferner Zukunft liegt, können diese Phänomene im Normalfall nicht direkt beobachtet werden. Es können aber aus der Spektralanalyse indirekt Informationen über die Aktivität eines Sterns gewonnen werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit koronaler und chromosphärischer Aktivität von mittleren und späten M Sternen und deren Nachweis und Analyse in UVES Echelle-Spektren von 3030 bis 3880 und 4580 bis 6680 A. Dabei widmet sich der erste Teil der Arbeit dem Nachweis der verbotenen koronalen Fe XIII Linie bei 3388 A. Das mehrere Millionen Kelvin heiße koronale Gas wird normalerweise - und am leichtesten - im Röntgenbereich beobachtet...

    Description: The high ionization state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) is maintained by the metagalactic UV background radiation. This ionizing radiation field is supposed to be the integrated radiation of quasars and young star-forming galaxies, which is reprocessed and attenuated by the intergalactic gas. Since the UV background is inaccessible to direct observations, it is impossible to test theoretical predictions of its spectral energy distribution in great detail. However, constraints can be derived from studies of metal absorption systems, the HI Lyman alpha opacity, or the HeII Lyman alpha forest, respectively. Observations of the HeII/HI column density ratio eta particularly probe the variations of the UV background. Since unobscured quasars permitting observation of HeII absorption are rare, there are only two lines of sight, towards the quasars HE2347-4342 and HS1700+6416, where the HeII Lyman alpha forest can be resolved. This work presents a study of the UV background at redshifts z 〈 3 investigating the HeII absorption towards the quasars HS1700+6416 (z = 2.72), which provides the second line of sight where the HeII Lyman alpha forest is resolved. The numerous metal line systems detected in the spectra of this QSO are studied in order to avoid biases due to unrecognized metal line absorption in the HeII forest. In this connection, several shapes of the ionizing radiation are tested for each system. The majority of the considered systems, in particular those at z 〉 2, is best reproduced with an ionizing radiation similar to the UV background of Haardt & Madau (2001), where the HeII break, formally located at 4 Ryd, is shifted to lower energies (~ 3 Ryd), probably due to the opacity of the higher HeII Lyman series lines ...

    Description: The Levantine Basin - a seismic investigation of the crustal structure and the evolution of the Messinian evaporites ABSTRACT This work presents an analysis of the crustal structure of the Levantine Basin, based on refraction seismic and gravity data, and an analysis of the evolution of the Messinian evaporites, based on reflection seismic data. Forward and inverse modelling of refraction seismic traveltimes along two profiles yielded 2-D velocity-depth-profiles. Gravity modelling along these profiles provided further information on the crustal structure. A great number of reflection seismic profiles was used for the analysis of the Messinian evaporites, which allowed an exhaustive investigation of the geometry of the evaporite layers, depositional phases of the evaporites and of their structural evolution. The Levantine Basin is located in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea. The basin and its margin are key areas for the understanding of the geodynamic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean. The opening of the Levantine Basin is closely related to the opening of the Neo-Tethys. Many geodynamic reconstructions of this area have been developed, but the key question, the origin of the crust, remained open. The Levantine Basin is also a world class site for studying the initial stages of salt tectonics driven by differential sediment load. The Messinian evaporites are comparatively young (deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis 5.9 - 5.3 Ma ago), the sediment load varies along the basin margin, they are hardly tectonically overprinted, and the geometry of the basin and the overburden is well-defined...
