    Description: Astronomische Beobachtungen im Bereich der THz-Frequenzen geben Aufschluss über die Entwicklung der interstellaren Materie in unserem Universum. Als wichtigste Kühllinie dichter Molekülwolken ist die Detektion des Feinstrukturübergangs von einfach-ionisiertem atomarem Kohlenstoff CII bei der Frequenz von 1,9 THz von fundamentaler Bedeutung. Wünschenswert ist das Studium astronomischer Quellen hinsichtlich ihrer Dynamik, Temperatur und Dichte mit möglichst hoher sowohl räumlicher als auch spektraler Auflösung. Heterodynempfänger sind für diese Aufgabe am besten geeignet. Bei dieser Technologie wird das astronomische Signal mittels eines Lokaloszillatoren (LO) auf eine Zwischenfrequenz von wenigen GHz umgesetzt und dann rauscharm weiterverstärkt. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung und der Aufbau des LOs für den 1,9 THz Frequenzkanal des Mehrkanalheterodynempfängers German REceiver for Astronomy at THz-Frequencies (GREAT) der auf dem Flugzeugobservatorium Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) zum Einsatz kommen wird. Für den Aufbau des LOs wurde auf eine Kombination zweier THz-Strahlungsquellen bestehend aus einem Rückwärtswellenoszillator (Backward-Wave Oscillator, BWO) und einem Frequenzverdreifacher zurückgegriffen. Dieser Ansatz erforderte die Entwicklung einer astigmatisch-abbildenden Submillimeteroptik, um die Leistungsankopplung zwischen BWO und Frequenzverdreifacher zu verbessern...

    Description: The central part of the Milky Way is a unique environment where an interplay of different astrophysical phenomena can be studied, starting from the physics of the interstellar medium, stellar physics and star formation, to high energetic processes associated with the accretion onto the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. In this thesis I focus onto the central parsec of the Milky Way, observed at 3.8 micrometer (L'-band) during several epochs from 2002 to 2007. This particular wavelength is interesting because one can observe the (very dense) Galactic stellar nuclear cluster, as well as the thermal component of the interstellar medium which is not visible at shorter near-infrared wavelengths. Our images revealed a high number of very narrow filamentary structures associated with the streamers of gas and dust (called mini-spiral), and sometimes also with stars. We also detected several stellar sources that are barely observable at shorter wavelengths, but well defined in the dust-dominated L'-band. The goal of this thesis was to use multi-epoch observations in order to measure motions of filamentary structures, as well as of those very red stars. The proper motion analysis allows us to come a step further in understanding the real nature of these enigmatic sources. The high-resolution observations were obtained with the NAOS/CONICA Adaptive Optics system at the ESO Very Large Telescope at Paranal, Chile. The first part of the thesis deals with the narrow dust filaments. The analysis of their morphology and proper motions shows that they are (i) probably not due to a projectional effect and (ii) are influenced by other forces than just the gravitational force of the central black hole...

    Description: This thesis describes the development and manufacturing of the IF circuits for two different heterodyne receivers used for sub-mm radio astronomy. The first project is the broadband 4-8 GHz IF circuitry for the mixer units for band 2 of the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI). This instrument will be operating onboard of ESA’s Herschel space observatory. The band 2 mixer units for HIFI, built by KOSMA, implement low noise SIS mixers in a very compact, modular design. The complete IF path in the mixer units consist of the mixer block (with the SIS mixer chip) and the bias-T, which is needed to apply a bias voltage to the SIS-junction and to extract the IF signal. The detailed investigation of the IF performance of the mixer block must consider the geometric capacitances of the SIS-junction and the tuning structure as well as the inductance of the bond wires used to establish the contact between the mixer chip and the SMA output connector. The calculations presented in this thesis show that the design can be used for IF frequencies up to 12 GHz. The bias-T, which is implemented in the mixer unit, is a dedicated, new development with high performance and high reliability complying with the special requirements for a spaceborne instrument. These include the survival under high mechanical stress such as vibration during the launch and extensive thermal cycling to cryogenic temperatures during the tests of the mixer unit and the instrument.

    Description: The focus of this thesis lies on the analysis and interpretation of near- and mid-infrared images of the Galactic center, with a view to improving the understanding of this region, especially at longer wavelengths. Multi-band (H, K, L and M, i.e. 1.6, 2.1, 3.78 and 4.66æm) photometry of images with a large field of view results in a new L-band calibration which eliminates anomalous color effects found in previous surveys of the Galactic center stellar cluster. The color data obtained indicates that the average extinction toward the region containing the Northern Arm and Sgr A* is lower than previously assumed, confirming the findings of Scoville et al. (2003). The stellar population of the inner few arcseconds is compared to that situated up to approximately 0.5 arcminutes out from the position of Sgr A*, revealing that the extinction does not increase significantly over the entire field of view of the ISAAC instrument (i.e. 70" x 70"). Using the large number of sources (over 500), the M-band extinction is calculated from the average L-M colors, resulting in a higher value than that of the "standard" extinction law of Rieke & Lebofsky (1985). The L-M color is shown to be a useful diagnostic tool in distinguishing hot and cool stars, when more precise methods (e.g. spectroscopy) are not available. The unusual morphology of the bright mid-infrared source IRS 3 is also discussed...

    Description: A time-dependent 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model has been developed to investigate the temporal periodic interaction between Europa and the Jovian magnetosphere. The temporal variations are caused by the periodic variations of the magnetospheric plasma at Europa. As a new feature compared to existing stationary models, periodic induced magnetic fields, caused by electromagnetic induction in a potential subsurface ocean, are included. The MHD-flow problem and the internal induction problem are solved simultaneously by making use of the periodicity and the quasi-stationarity of the problem. The ideal MHD equations have been extended in order to account for the effects of Europa's neutral atmosphere and the internal periodic induced magnetic fields on the plasma interaction. At the beginning of this work, Galileo magnetometer data acquired on four passes by Europa were used to investigate whether a fixed permanent dipole moment is present in the interior of the moon in addition to the induced dipole moment previously identified. We thereby confirm the presence of an inductive response and find that the dipole coefficients of the constant intrinsic field contribute at best in a very minor way to the magnetic field. The induced magnetic fields caused by the time variable plasma interaction are calculated in an interactive process...

    Description: In the unglaciated areas of Antarctica, lake sediments act as archives of the regional environmental and climatic history. In most cases, the records are restricted to the Holocene. Amongst the few exceptions are lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, southern Victoria Land, which are known to have remained mostly ice-free during the Last Glacial Maximum. Within the scope of an U.S.-American-German expedition in austral summer 2002/2003, several sediment cores were recovered from the three major lakes in the Taylor Valley: lakes Fryxell, Hoare, and Bonney. In order to reconstruct the late Quaternary regional environmental and climate history, sedimentological, biogeochemical, mineralogical, and chronological investigations were conducted on the sediment sequences recovered from Lake Hoare (core Lz1020) and East Lake Bonney (core Lz1023) within the scope of this thesis. Sediment cores from Lake Hoare with a maximum length of 2.3 m mainly consist of coarse-grained material and penetrate back into the late Weichselian, when Taylor Valley was occupied by the large proglacial Lake Washburn. This lake was dammed by the advanced Ross Sea ice sheet at the valley outlet and was mainly fed by meltwater of the ice sheet. During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, enhanced evaporation led to a significant lake level drop of Lake Washburn ...

    Description: Eleven lakes and ponds and three lacustrine sediment sequences from coastal East and North-East Greenland were studied for recent hydrological and phytoplankton characteristics and for palaeolimnology, respectively. The limnological survey of lakes and ponds from Store Koldewey in summer 2003 revealed cold, monomictic, thermally unstratified, alkaline and likely oligotrophic water bodies. The diatom phytoplankton, present in six lakes and dominated by four species, varied distinctly between the lakes. The results give information about the recent status of the ecology of these High Arctic freshwater bodies. The sediment sequences were investigated for their chronology, changes in physical and biogeochemical properties, macro- and microfossils, grain-size distribution and in the case of one sequence for its elemental profiles using XRF. The palaeolimnological studies address different time intervals at various temporal resolutions with particular attention to the latitudinal differences of late Quaternary climatic and environmental changes along the coast of East and North-East Greenland. The results include information about the Late Weichselian ice-front environments on southern Store Koldewey with information about the temporal and spatial evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet margin west of the island ...

    Description: Die mio-pliozänen Ablagerungen im NNW SSE streichenden Monastir-Florina-Ptolemais-Kozani/Servia-Graben beherbergen das größte zusammenhängende Braunkohlevorkommen in Bereich des Balkans. Das Becken erstreckt sich von Monastir (F.Y.R.O.M.) im Norden bis hin zur Region von Elassona im Süden (Makedonien/GR). Es umfasst eine Gesamtfläche von ca. 120 kmø. Mittlerweile werden ca. 71 % des elektrischen Energiebedarfs der Hauptstadt Athen durch die Energiegewinnung aus dem MFPK/S-G gedeckt. Diese rhythmisch entwickelten Lignitvorkommen zeigen, neben den bedeutenden wirtschaftlichen Aspekten, ein großes Potential für eine Paläoklima-Analyse des nordöstlichen mediterranen Raums. Das Neogen zeigt einen multiplen Wechsel von Kalt- und Warmzeiten mit vereinzelt deutlich höheren Temperaturen als heute an (Bradley, 1999). Die Ursachen hierfür können u.a. auf Variationen der Erdbahnparameter zurückgeführt werden, welche Schwankungen in der Insolation verursachen und somit das atmosphärisch-ozeanische System steuern. Zeitreihenanalysen belegten bereits in den 70er bis späten 90er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts diese Variationen innerhalb mariner (Hays et al., 1976; Imbrie & Imbrie, 1980) und kontinentaler Ablagerungen (Santarelli et al., 1988, van Vugt et al., 1998. Die Ursachen und Steuerungsprozesse dieser Variationen sind von Milankovitch (1920, 1930, 1941) eingehenst diskutiert worden ...

    Description: Wasserdampf ist eines der wichtigsten atmosphärischen Spurengase. Sein Einfluss auf das Klima, die Chemie und den Energiehaushalt ist bedeutend. Von besonderem Interesse ist dabei die Wasserdampfverteilung in der oberen Troposphäre insbesondere in den Tropen. Die wichtigste Wasserdampfquelle für die tropische obere Troposphäre ist tropische Konvektion. Ihr wirkt das grossräumige Absinken entgegen, das seine Ursache sowohl in der Dynamik als auch im Strahlungshaushalt hat. Es gleicht die konvektive Aufwärtsbewegung aus und transportiert dabei relativ trockene Luft nach unten. Über den Netto-Effekt dieser beiden Prozesse ist wenig bekannt, vorallem wegen eines Mangels an zuverlässigen Messungen in dieser Region. In dieser Arbeit werden der Wasserdampfgehalt und die Mechanismen, die für die Wasserdampfverteilung in der oberen tropischen Troposphäre verantwortlich sind, mithilfe einer grossen Menge an in-situ Feuchtemessungen untersucht. Die Messungen wurden auf Linienflugzeugen im Rahmen des EU Projektes MOZAIC durchgeführt (Measurements of Ozone and Water Vapor by Airbus In-Service AirCraft; Messungen von Ozon und Wasserdampf auf Airbus Linienflugzeugen). Eine Klimatologie der gemessenen Parameter über dem tropischen Atlantik zeigt, dass die Feuchte auf allen zeitlichen und räumlichen Skalen sehr variabel ist. Die bimodale Verteilung der Feuchte in den Tropen unterscheidet sich ausserdem deutlich von der Verteilung in den Sub-Tropen oder mittleren Breiten...

    Description: To enhance interpretation capabilities of transient electromagnetic (TEM) methods, a multidimensional inverse solution is introduced, which allows for a explicit sensitivity calculation with reduced computational effort. The main conservation of computational load is obtained by solving Maxwell's equations directly in time domain. This is achieved by means of a high efficient Krylov-subspace technique that is particularly developed for the fast computation of EM fields in the diffusive regime. Traditional modeling procedures for Maxwell's equations yields solutions independently for every frequency or, in the time domain, at a given time through explicit time stepping. Because of this, frequency domain methods are rendered extremely time consuming for multi-frequency simulations. Likewise the stability conditions required by explicit time stepping techniques often result in highly inefficient calculations for large diffusion times and conductivity contrasts. The computation of sensitivities is carried out using the adjoint Green functions approach. For time domain applications, it is realized by convolution of the background electrical field information, originating from the primary signal, with the impulse response of the receiver acting as secondary source. In principle, the adjoint formulation may be extended allowing for a fast gradient calculation without calculating and storing the whole sensitivity matrix but just the gradient of the data residual. This technique, which is also known as migration, is widely used for seismic and, to some extend, for EM methods as well. However, the sensitivity matrix, which is not easily given by migration techniques, plays a central role in resolution analysis and would therefore be discarded ...

    Description: Der Einsatz geophysikalischer Verfahren zur Untersuchung von Altlasten hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Durch Kombination verschiedener Verfahren einerseits und verschiedener Geo-Wissenschaften andererseits können solche Untersuchungen in ihrer Effizienz jedoch deutlich erhöht und Kosten drastisch reduziert werden. Zu diesem Zwecke wurde das EU-Altlastprojekt NORISC (’Network Oriented Risc assessment with In-situ Screening of Contaminated sites’) ins Leben gerufen. In den Jahren 2001 bis 2003 wurde unter der Federführung der Stadt Köln (Europabüro und Umweltamt) ein mehrteiliges Software-Paket entwickelt, welches sowohl Gutachtern im Feld als auch Umweltämtern und Ingenieurbüros zu Gute kommen soll. Dieses Paket enthält u.a. ein Werkzeug zur optimalen Methodenauswahl (DSS ’Decision Support System’) und ein 3D-Visualisierungswerkzeug (’GSI3D’) zur Darstellung aller gemessenen Parameter im Feld. Dieses Visualisierungswerkzeug wurde im Rahmen dieser Arbeit mit der Möglichkeit zur digitalen Bearbeitung geophysikalischer Daten (Inversion, Darstellung von Modellen und Rohdaten, Erstellung von Startmodellen) innerhalb des GIS Programms versehen, welches während der Projektphase noch nicht möglich war. So können nun geoelektrische und radiomagnetotellurische Daten mit geologischen und chemischen Informationen kalibriert werden, um dadurch ein genaueres Untergrundbild vor Ort zu erhalten. Weiterhin wurden Routinen zur Darstellung von 1D-, 2D- und 3D-Datensätzen implementiert, welche die Möglichkeiten der Visualsierung und Kalibration geophysikalischer Daten erweitern. Die während des Projekts gesammelten Daten wurden nach Abschluss der Erweiterung des GIS-Programms neu bearbeitet, um die Effizienz der eingebauten Module zu testen und zu verifizieren.

    Description: This thesis had two primary objectives: One objective was to explore and develop applications of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) for the quantification of biogeochemical properties in lake sediment; the other objective was to assess the Lake Ohrid (Albania/Macedonia) sediment record with an emphasis on tephrostratigraphy and inferences of climatic and environmental changes using a 15 m long sediment succession (core Co1202) from the north-eastern part of the lake. Studies presented in this thesis were conducted within the scope of an envisaged deep drilling campaign at Lake Ohrid and therefore represent important preliminary studies. FTIR spectra of lacustrine sediment samples were calibrated to infer concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), total nitrogen (TN), and biogenic silica (BSi). To test the applicability of the FTIRS technique, site-specific FTIRS calibrations and FTIRS calibrations based on a surface sediment dataset from 94 northern Swedish lakes were constructed. Both approaches demonstrated significant correlations between FTIRS-inferred and conventionally assessed biogeochemical property concentrations, ranging between R2 = 0.79 0.99 for TOC, R2 = 0.85 0.99 for TIC, R2 = 0.62 0.84 for TN, and R2 = 0.68 0.94 for BSi ...

    Description: The focus of this thesis lies on the joint application of ground-based and airborne electromagnetic methods for the investigation of a glacial valley. For the first time two different airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying methods were employed to determine the resistivity structure of a single geological target: the frequency-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) system operated by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), Germany, and the time-domain SkyTEM system developed at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. For verification of the airborne results, ground-based transient electromagnetics (TEM) and 2D resistivity surveying were also performed. The target survey area was the Cuxhaven valley in northern Germany, a significant local groundwater reservoir. The course of this buried valley was revealed by drillings, and the shape determined by reflection seismics along several transects across the valley. Electrical and electromagnetic methods were applied to investigate the structure of the valley fill, consisting of gravel, sand, silt and clay. Here, the extension and the thickness of clay layers are of particular interest. They have a low hydraulic permeability and often serve as protection for underlying aquifers against pollution from the surface ...
