    Description: In cosmic ray experiments the arrival directions, among other properties, of cosmic ray particles from detected air shower events are reconstructed. The question of uniformity in the distribution of arrival directions is of large importance for models that try to explain cosmic radiation. In this thesis, methods for the reconstruction of parameters of a dipole-like flux distribution of cosmic rays from a set of recorded air shower events are studied. Different methods are presented and examined by means of detailed Monte Carlo simulations. Particular focus is put on the implications of spurious experimental effects. Modifications of existing methods and new methods are proposed. The main goal of this thesis is the development of the horizontal Rayleigh analysis method. Unlike other methods, this method is based on the analysis of local viewing directions instead of global sidereal directions. As a result, the symmetries of the experimental setup can be better utilised. The calculation of the sky coverage (exposure function) is not necessary in this analysis. The performance of the method is tested by means of further Monte Carlo simulations. The new method performs similarly good or only marginally worse than established methods in case of ideal measurement conditions. However, the simulation of certain experimental effects can cause substantial misestimations of the dipole parameters by the established methods, whereas the new method produces no systematic deviations. The invulnerability to certain effects offers additional advantages, as certain data selection cuts become dispensable.

    Description: The main topic of this work is the introduction of time dependence into PHOENIX. This has been achieved for both the radiation field and the matter in the SN Ia model atmosphere. First, time dependence in the radiative transfer equation has been implemented. Two discretization schemes have been used for the implementation of the time derivative. Test calculations have been performed to confirm the correctness of the implementations. The radiation time scale computed with the time dependent radiative transfer is comparable to a simple analytic approach. Perturbations of the inner boundary condition of the atmosphere move through the whole atmosphere. For instance, an atmosphere with a sinusoidally varying inner light bulb leads to an atmosphere where the luminosity varies sinusoidally everywhere. For the next extension of time dependence for the matter, a simple hydrodynamical solver has been implemented. It computes the changes in the energy of an SN Ia atmosphere by considering the homologous expansion, energy transport and the deposition of energy by g -ray emission due to the radioactive decay of 56Ni and 56Co. Test calculations verified that each part of the solver works correctly. The energy deposition heats the atmosphere and increases the observed luminosity, whereas the adiabatic e expansion cools the atmosphere. The energy transport always pushes the temperature structure of the atmosphere towards the radiative equilibrium state ...

    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: The CosmoALEPH experiment, located underground at the LEP e+e? storage ring at CERN at a depth of 320 m water equivalent, was used to study the chemical composition of primary cosmic rays up to 10 PeV energies from the measurement of high energy muons, created in extensive air showers by interactions of primary nuclei in the atmosphere. The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and the Hadron Calorimeter of the ALEPH detector and six scintillator stations located at distances up to 1 km from each other were used to analyse the decoherence curve, multiplicity and transverse momentum distributions of energetic cosmic muons. The experimental data were compared with predictions from different Monte Carlo (MC) models and mass composition approaches. From a comparison between the measured decoherence distribution with CosmoALEPH and the MC predicted decoherence curves for proton, helium and iron, a primary composition of (77±11) % protons and (23±11) % iron nuclei with a ?2 - probability of 84 % was determined, based on the predictions of the VENUS model with the constant mass composition approach. The analysis of the decoherence curve, with consideration of correlations between the measured CosmoALEPH parameters, leads to a composition of (88 ± 8) % protons and (12 ± 8) % iron nuclei for cosmic rays with a ?2 -probability of 53 % ...

    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: Ein zentrales Problem der Planetologie ist die Frage nach der Entstehung der Planeten. Als Vorläufer der Planeten werden die so genannten Planetesimale betrachtet. Diese km-großen Körper wachsen in protoplanetaren Scheiben aus kleinen Staubteilchen. Verantwortlich für das Wachstum sind unter anderem die zahlreichen Stöße zwischen den Staubteilchen, die dabei entstehende Staubaggregate, und die Wechselwirkung dieser Körper mit dem Gas in der Scheibe. Wie genau die Entstehungsprozesse ablaufen und ob größere Körper in Stößen wachsen können, ist noch umstritten. In gezielten Laborexperimenten haben wir versucht diese Prozesse wiederzugeben. In Stoßexperimenten haben wir den Ausgang von Hochgeschwindigkeitskollisionen zwischen cm-großen Staubaggregaten mit verschiedener Struktur untersucht. Zusätzlich haben wir in einer Serie von Windtunnelexperimenten die Stabilität dieser Aggregate in starker Windströmung erforscht. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei bestimmten Bedingungen ein Wachstum von Planetesimalen möglich ist.

    Description: Extensive air showers measured by the KASCADE-Grande experiment at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe are studied with respect to the arrival times of electrons and muons at observation level. KASCADE-Grande is a ground based detector array to study extensive air showers generated by primary cosmic ray particles in the energy range from 10^14 eV to 10^18 eV. Approximately 290,000 air showers measured between January 2005 and Febuary 2006 are used to generate arrival time distributions of electrons and muons for 13 intervals of the distance R to the shower center. The particle arrival times are reconstructed by unfolding detector signal pulses sampled by a Flash-ADC based data acquisition system connected to the electron and muon detectors of eight detector stations of the KASCADE detector array. For distances R〉200 m particles of the a muonic shower component arrive on average earlier at observation level than particles of the electromagnetic shower component. This difference in arrival time is used to determine a cut on the particle arrival time as a function of the distance from the shower center. This cut is intended to be used by experiments with time resolving detectors for the separation of electrons and muons according to their arrival times relative to the arrival time of the shower core. Particles with arrival times smaller than the cut are considered as muons. Due to the large spread of the arrival time distributions the number of muons reconstructed in this way will contain a contribution from the electromagnetic shower component ...

The absorbers are basically comprised of predominantly neutral gas, which is an essential prerequisite for the formation of stars. The spectroscopy of absorbers offers the best possibility to study the chemical composition of the supposed equivalents of the interstellar medium of local galaxies at an earlier stage of cosmic evolution.

    Description: With the last generation of X-ray satellites, such as XMM-Newton and Chandra, our knowledge about the X-ray properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has greatly improved. Detailed spectroscopy and long-term observations of hundreds of kilo-seconds have provided new insights into the mechanisms of X-ray production, its modification by intervening matter, and X-ray variability. In this thesis I present radiative transfer modeling of AGN in the Far-UV and X-ray range. The modeling considers several aspects of the observed X-ray properties: the Compton reflection/reprocessed component, X-ray variability and flares, and the effects of the warm absorber. For the X-ray reprocessing, I investigate in detail the magnetic flare model assuming solar-like magnetic reconnections above the accretion disk

    Description: PHOENIX has been used to calculate model atmospheres of classical novae in the X-ray spectral range. The models account for an expanding, one-dimensional spherically symmetric medium in full non-local thermodynamic equilibrium. Nova atmospheres have been modeled with PHOENIX since the early 90's to fit the early nova spectra in the ultraviolet and infrared spectral ranges. In this work the PHOENIX-code has been enhanced to also model X-ray spectra. This was accomplished by accounting for atomic data and physical processes. The synthetic spectra were compared to observations from the LETGS onboard the CHANDRA X-ray satellite. The template is the observation of nova V4743 Sagittarii in March 2003. The spectrum is very spectacular because of the nova brightness and CHANDRA's spectral resolution. Further observations from July2003, September 2003, and February 2004 were taken. Models with solar and non-solar abundances have been calculated and the synthetic spectra have been fitted to the four observations. The fits were used to discuss discrepancies between models and observations. The effective temperature of the atmosphere, the hydrogen column density, and the abundances ofhelium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and iron in the shell were determined by the fits. It was examined how the parameters evolve with time. With the models the atmosphere structure and NLTE effects were determined. The models were compared to the previous nova model atmospheres from PHOENIX ...

    Description: The Sun shows a variety of transient surface features which are summarized as solar activity. Activity phenomena, apparently similar to the solar case, are also observed on stars other than the Sun. Stellar activity is closely related to magneto-hydrodynamic processes in a stars̉ convection zone. A dynamo is believed to operate in the outer convection zone of solar-like stars, generating magnetic fields by complex motions of the convecting plasma under the influence of rotation. Differential (i.e. non-rigid) rotation of the stellar surface is an important indicator of the overall dynamics of a stars̉ outer convection zone. Sunspots are a conspicuous token of solar activity; dark spots can also be observed on the surface of stars other than the Sun. To which degree starspots are analogues of sunspots is presently only poorly known; the processes governing their lifetime and structure are largely unexplored. Doppler imaging overcomes the diffraction-limitations of direct and interferometric imaging techniques by making use of information that is modulated into a star’s spectrum due to its rotation. Doppler imaging is currently the only method to produce well-resolved images of solar-like stars. After a selective review of the observational and theoretical foundation,
