    Description: The thesis at hand presents the results of a study of galaxies with active galactic nuclei (AGN) carried out in the radio and mm wavelength regimes at low and high angular resolutions. The studied objects cover a broad range of mechanisms responsible for powering the engines of the respective galaxies: ULIRGs (UltraLuminous Infrared Galaxies), a product of mergers between galaxies that are supposedly powered by starbursts, AGN or a mixture of the two, and QSOs (quasi-stellar objects) which are powered by AGN. Since ULIRGs and QSOs show similar properties (especially the infrared luminosities), it was proposed that they form the early and late phase of an evolutionary sequence where supposedly ULIRGs are the dust enshrouded progenitors of QSOs. As a prototypical ULIRG, Arp 220 represents an early-to-intermediate phase object in the scheme of the ULIRG-to-QSO evolution. For this object observations at multiple mm wavelengths and angular resolutions with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) are presented and analyzed. Arp 220 as a whole is studied in CO emission of the more extended structure. Furthermore, Arp 220-East is analyzed in more detail in the CO gas. Indications for emission ~10" towards the south, as well as to the north and to the west of the two nuclei, were found in the low resolution CO(1-0) maps ...

    Description: Neutron stars are unique stellar remnants with extreme properties, as their density and magnetic field. Their study can be the key to a number of unanswered problems in fundamental physics and astronomy, ranging from stellar evolution to strong field gravity. One of the best ways of studying these objects is with observations at radio wavelengths, the efficiency of which can be vastly improved with the combination of data from multiple radiotelescopes. In this thesis, we use the largest European radiotelescopes for performing high quality studies of the properties of objects belonging into two separate categories of neutron stars, millisecond pulsars and magnetars. In the first part of this thesis, a complete description of the observing systems and calibration procedures for the multiple telescopes used is presented. Specifically, all observations were made with the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) telescopes, which are the Effelsberg 100m radiotelescope in Germany, the Lovell 76m radiotelescope in UK, the Westerbork 94m equivalent synthesis radiotelescope in the Netherlands and the Nanc cay 94m equivalent decimetric radiotelescope in France...

    Description: The first part of the thesis is concerned with the fate of singularities in quantum cosmology. The second part addresses the derivation of predictions from quantum cosmology. In the first part, two classes of cosmological models were studied. In the first class of models, the universe evolves to or emerges from a big-rip singularity. Here, energy density, pressure and scale factor diverge after a finite amount of time. This type of singularity arises rather generically in cosmological models with phantom dark energy. For each of these phantom-field models, the corresponding scenario with ordinary scalar field was studied. The scalar field induced a big-bang singularity. The second class of models studied was dominated by a big-brake singularity. At the big brake, the universe evolution comes to a halt due to an infinite deceleration. The motivation behind this choice of models was the occurrence of a singularity at large scale factor. The major question pursued was whether these types of singularity were resolved on the quantum level. If such singularities were resolved in quantum cosmology, this would imply that quantum gravitational effects can occur in the macroscopic universe. After devising classical models that contain the respective singularity, I subjected these models to quantization which was carried out in the geometrodynamical approach. The governing equation is then the WheelerDeWitt equation ...

    Description: According to current knowledge, star formation occurs preferentially in clustered environments. As a byproduct of the star formation process young stars are found to be surrounded by accretion discs that are potential birth places of planets and planetary systems. Located in the hosting cluster, these protoplanetary discs are potentially subject to stellar interactions. These interactions give rise to a fundamental question of clustered star formation: How far does the cluster environment affect the evolution of protoplanetary discs and the formation of planets? The question is addressed in the present investigation in terms of the effect of stellar encounters on stars and their disc in young clusters by combining numerical simulations of isolated star-disc encounters and stellar dynamics of young star clusters. The investigation is composed of three key aspects. First, simulations of a dynamical model of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) show that disc destruction is dominated by encounters with high-mass stars that act as gravitational foci for the lower mass stars in the cluster centre. The massive stars are thus subject to repeated encounters which can lead to a total disc destruction ...

    Description: We investigate the double-peak profile of the emission of powerful cosmic non-thermal radiation sources with dominant magnetic field self-generation like TeV blazars. Therefore, we assume a flare to occur in the emission knot due to the uniform instantaneous injection of monoenergetic ultra-relativistic electrons via a relativistic pick-up process. The electrons are subjected to a linear or nonlinear synchrotron radiation cooling and the synchrotron photons are multiple Thomson scattered off their generating electrons (SSC process). We work out the differences between single and multiple instantaneous injections of monoenergetic relativistic electrons. This is of great interest, because it is very likely that injections into the plasmoids occur repeatedly, so that this would explain the short-time energy variability of blazars. We also compute for the first time the nonlinear SSC radiation quantities using a Thomson limit approximation and the full Klein-Nishina cross section.

    Description: In this doctoral thesis, multi-frequency very long baseline interferometry observations together with multi-frequency total flux-density variability data of compact relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei are presented and analyzed. The main goal of the thesis is to investigate the physical mechanisms in relativistic jets responsible for such phenomena as the co-existence of moving and stationary jet components, jet wiggling and precession. We also aim to study the connection between the structural changes in the relativistic jets and flares in the total flux-density light curves and to find observational evidences for the appearance of a primary perturbation in the base of the jet and its further propagation. In this thesis we also investigate which physical mechanisms are responsible for periodical total flux-density variability and to search for periodicities as a sign of jet precession. In order to study the jet physics we used the multi-frequency very long baseline interferometry technique which gives the highest possible in astronomy resolution. We also compared jet structural changes with single-dish multi-frequency observations spanning more than 30 years together with optical and gamma-ray data. In particular, analysis of the long-term kinematics of two active galactic nuclei S5 1803+784 and 0605-085 shows evidence for jet precession ...

    Description: The understanding of gravitational stability of galactic disks against star formation, the interplay of atomic and molecular components of the interstellar medium in a galaxy and its physical conditions, namely temperature and density, are important to gain a deeper insight into star formation. Nearby galaxies like the spiral galaxy M51 or the southern starburst galaxies NGC4945 and Circinus offer excellent opportunities to investigate these topics over a complete galactic disk or parts of the galaxy. A suitable tracer to study the molecular part of the gaseous component of galaxies is the CO molecule. It is the second most abundant molecule after H2 in the interstellar medium, its lower lying transition are excited at typical conditions of molecular clouds and the rotational transitions lie in the radio window. Thus, CO emission can penetrate throughout galactic disks and is observable from the ground. Apart from complementary data from the literature, we use observations of 12CO 21, 12CO 4--3, and 13CO 2--1 in this thesis. Additionally, the [CI] 3P1-3P0 fine structure line was observed to study the physical conditions in the central regions of galaxies. In the first part of this thesis, the nearby spiral galaxy M51 is used as a sample source to investigate the onset of star formation. CO, HI, radio-continuum, dust, and stellar maps of M51 are combined to study star formation rate, the H2/HI transition, the gas-to-dust ratios, the stability of the disk against gravitational collapse, and properties of the giant molecular clouds. Parts of the results have been published in Astronomy and Astrophysics (461,143) in 2007 and are submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2008 for publication. We use the first complete 12CO 2--1 map of M51 including the companion galaxy NGC5195 observed with HERA at the IRAM-30m telescope to trace the molecular gas. Complementary HI VLA data is used to study the atomic gas distribution and the combined total gas surface density ...

    Description: This work deals with the search for substructures in four nearby galaxies (NGC 300, NGC 7793, M 33, M 83) in which it is possible to resolve single stars in their outer parts.The search is based on the photometry of wide field imaging data. This photometry is further analysed by the use of classical methods (colour-magnitude-diagrams, star counts) and by the use of data-mining tools (fuzzy c-means clustering). Finally, it could be shown that three out of four galaxies show signs of substructure. In NGC 300 the analysis of the red-giant-branch stars revealed a truncation in the outer parts, while in NGC 7793 hints for a tidal stream or spiral arm were found. In case of M 83 it was possible to recover an already known surface brightness arc first seen on old photographic plates.

    Description: This thesis is focussed on the development of optimized techniques to overcome limitations of astrophysical observations. The goal is an optimal signal estimation in noisy measurements by the consideration of underlying physical processes. This principle was applied to two different fields in astrophysics: intrumental design and analysis of polarimetric observations. In the observational part of this thesis near-infrared images of young stellar objects in the Orion constellation are studied. Limitations in resolution and sensitivity of current astronomical instruments prohibit the detailed analysis of interesting proto-stellar sources to improve theories of star formation. Radiation from the astronomical targets is not only characterized by its spectral energy, but also by polarization properties. The modeling of typical configurations of star-disk systems and the simulation of their polarization patterns helped to understand and interprete features, that were found in observations. For the case of a proto-stellar systems with both a disk and an envelope analysis techniques were developed, which are based on polarimetric effects of the scattering of light by dust. These techniques substantially improve the sensitivity and resolution and are reliable under different observing conditions. Although the obtained data did not allow investigations of substructures of the circumstellar material, the techniques are suitable to obtain constraints on star formation processes ...

    Description: Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht, ob heiße und expandierende Gasstrukturen gravitativ an ihre Galaxie gebunden sind (Ausfluss) oder ob sie das Gravitationspotential der Galaxie verlassen können (galaktischer Wind). Galaktische Winde, d.h. Massenverlust für die Galaxie und Anreicherung des intergalaktischen Mediums haben direkte Auswirkungen auf die Entwicklung von Galaxien und Galaxienhaufen. Spektroskopische Untersuchungen des neutralen und ionisierten Wasserstoffs wurden in einer Auswahl von vier nahen irregulären Zwerggalaxien durchgeführt. In allen vier Galaxien wurden expandierende Gasstrukturen gefunden und ihre Expansionsgeschwindigkeiten vermessen. Aus Dunkle Materie Halo Modellen wurde das Gravitationspotential der Galaxien abgeschätzt. Dadurch konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Gas in allen Fällen gravitativ gebunden bleibt. Dieses Ergebnis ist in Übereinstimmung mit hydrodynamischen Simulationen und legt nahe, dass galaktische Winde in masseärmeren Galaxien zu finden sind.

    Description: Beim Ras-RasGAP-Komplex ist die Hydrolyse des Guanosintriphosphats stark beschleunigt im Vergleich zu Ras allein. Dies wird hauptsächlich durch den Argininfinger R789 verursacht, der direkt zur Triphosphatgruppe zeigt. QM/MM-Simulationen wurden durchgeführt, bei denen das Triphosphat quantenmechanisch mithilfe der DFT behandelt wurde, während der Proteinkomplex und die Wasserumgebung klassisch beschrieben wurden. Im Vergleich zu Ras sind beim Ras-RasGAP-Komplex die entscheidende Elektronenverschiebung, die Bindungsverlängerung und die Verdrillung hin zu einer ekliptischen gamma-beta-Orientierung wesentlich stärker ausgeprägt. Der Argininfinger interagiert durch Verdrängung von Wassermolekülen aus der Bindenische. Das resultierende verstärkte elektrische Feld katalysiert den Bindungsbruch. Eine hypothetische Protonierung des beta-Phosphats führt zum Bindungsbruch. Nach Abschluss der Hydrolyse sind die Schwingungen des Mono- und Diphosphats über Dipol-Dipol-Wechselwirkung gekoppelt.

    Description: Diese Dissertation untersucht, ob die Dynamik von Galaxien in Einklang mit den Ergebnissen aus CDM (cold dark matter) Simulationen ist. Im Wesentlichen wurden 19 Galaxien hinsichtlich Abweichungen von kreisförmigen Bewegungen analysiert. Diese nicht-kreisförmigen Bewegungen werden von den Simulationen vorhergesagt, um das lang bestehende cusp/core Problem zu erklären. Es konnte jedoch gezeigt werden, dass die Abweichungen von den kreisförmigen Bewegungen zu klein sind, um die Ergebnisse von CDM Simulationen mit den Beobachtungen in Einklang zu bringen. Große nicht-kreisförmige Bewegungen finden sich vor allem in den Zentren von massereichen Galaxien und Balkengalaxien. Dies lässt jedoch vermuten, dass diese Bewegungen durch baryonische Materie hervorgerufen werden und nicht durch den DM Halo. Die vorliegende Dissertation unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit, die CDM Simulationen zu verändern, bzw. alternative Lösungen zu CDM Modellen zu suchen.

    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: A pattern recognition and classification software was developed to detect dust devils automatically in surface images from Mars. The amount of images taken by spacecraft orbiting Mars is increasing continuously and the expenditure of time is too high to search every image for spatially and temporally highly variable features like dust devils. The pattern recognition method was therefore used to conduct a completely new kind of search for dust devils. Images from the three different Mars missions Viking, Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express can be processed and for the first time automatically scanned for the desired objects. Viking images including dust devils were used as the database to filter unique dust devil features and the derived parameters built the feature vector. Various Classification methods have been tested resulting in a two-layer perceptron (neural network) as the best classifier. Necessary adjustments and increments complete the software so that it can be applied to Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) and probably coming images from future missions. It was shown that the standard dust devil is filtered and correctly classified. The two main features, the bright spot representing the dust column and the shadow, must be filterable from the background. Crater rims and hills are the most false-positive objects...

    Description: The work presented here is concerned with issues related to the interplay of galaxy structure and the accretion phenomenon onto supermassive black holes (SMBH), i.e. active galactic nuclei (AGN). There is statistical evidence for a coevolution of SMBHs and the galaxy bulges they reside in. The detailed knowledge of the involved physical processes, however, is still far from being satisfactory. In order to test and improve theoretical models of how this coevolution is arising, high angular resolution observations of the host galaxies of AGN are necessary. Imaging and spectroscopy of the innermost region of galaxies have the power to reveal information on the structure, the chemical composition, and the dynamics of stars and gas in the presence of an SMBH, and allow us to separate energetic signatures related either to star formation or to the accretion onto the SMBH. Considering such observations over cosmological distances (redshifts) -- i.e. looking into the past because of the finite light-travel time -- we are also able to assess evolutionary effects on the beforementioned properties ...

We demonstrate a drastic modification of the energy dependence of both cosmic ray transport parameters compared to previous calculations that have assumed that the plasma waves propagate only parallel or antiparallel to the ordered magnetic field (slab turbulence).

    Description: This thesis consists of two parts. The first part reports on the development of a fringe tracking system for LINC-NIRVANA, the near-infrared homothetic imaging camera for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). LINC-NIRVANA allows for a coherent combination of the light entering the two primary mirrors. The fringe pattern in the focal plane is required to be stable in time to preserve the high spatial frequency information in long exposure images. Atmospheric differential piston causes the position of the fringes to change with time. A fringe tracker is a servo system that measures and corrects for atmospheric differential piston in real-time. In the first part, numerical simulations of atmospheric turbulence are used to investigate the problem of angular anisoplanatism of differential piston. The fringe tracking concept and the top-level requirements are introduced, followed by a presentation of the mechanical design of the system. This design includes a solution for a device that is capable of positioning a detector with high precision within a cryogenic environment. A fitting algorithm determines the amount of differential piston in the point-spread function of a reference target. The performance of this algorithm under different signal-to-noise conditions is investigated. First polychromatic fringes obtained with a testbed interferometer conclude the first part ...

    Description: Design and performance of waveguide mixers at 1.4 THz and 1.9 THz based on NbTiN phonon-cooled hot electron bolometers (HEB) fabricated on a 2 æm thick Si_3N_4 membrane. The membrane is bonded to a silicon frame in the mixer block using a flip chip process. Simulated RF coupling is compared with experimental results, showing good agreement. Receiver noise temperature measurements show uncorrected values of 1600 K at 1.4 THz and 2100 K at 1.9 THz, both at 1.5 GHz intermediate frequency. Device cooling on the membrane seems not to be problematic. The mixers are used in receivers for SOFIA (GREAT & CONDOR) and APEX (CONDOR).

    Description: In this work we introduced basic turbulence theory into the framework of the interstellar medium. In many cases turbulence simulations are applied to the interstellar medium (ISM) merely because it is a medium, where extremely high Reynolds numbers are actually realised, and the parameters of the ISM are only taken into account as far as they are needed for the turbulence research. Here, however, we investigated the basic turbulence properties, while at the same time we modelled the properties of the ISM as thoroughly as possible. The important point is that there are many physical processes going on in the ISM, which should be incorporated in the corresponding simulations. These processes reachfrom external influences of the radiation field originating from hot stars to the internal interaction of the particles culminating in the intricate chemistry of the molecular cloud medium. Each of the different phases of the ISM has its own dominant processes to be taken into account for a realistic modelling...

    Description: Sowohl in der Radioastronomie als auch in der Atmosphärenforschung gibt es einen Bedarf für breitbandige Spektrometer mit einer Bandbreite von bis zu 10 GHz und einer moderaten Auflösung. In der Radioastronomie wurde durch die stete Weiterentwicklung der Heterodynempfangssysteme der THz-Bereich für die Beobachtung zugänglich. Dies erfordert bei zahlreichen Beobachtungen, z.B. des galaktischen Zentrums, breitbandige Spektrometer, da die Geschwindigkeitsverteilung von Molekül- und Atomlinien in diesen turbulenten Gebieten sehr hoch ist. Die Auflösung des Spektrometers kann dabei in einen Bereich von 50-100 MHz liegen. Auch in der Atmosphärenforschung werden breitbandige Spektrometer benötigt, um die vollständige Information aus den Flügeln der druckverbreiterten Linienprofile zu gewinnen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es daher ein Spektrometer zu entwickeln, das die Möglichkeit einer breitbandigen Frequenzanalyse bietet. Dies wird durch die Modulation eines Lasers mit einem externen Phasenmodulator möglich. Der Phasenmodulator kann das Laserlicht mit Frequenzen über 10 GHz modulieren. Zur Frequenzanalyse der so erzeugten Seitenbänder dient ein Fabry-Perot Etalon. Durch die Ausleuchtung des Etalons mit einer Zylinderlinse konnte erreicht werden, dass das vom Etalon erzeugte Ringsystem auf eine Zeile transformiert wird. Dies ermöglicht eine effiziente Ausnutzung des Signallichts. Um die Eigenschaften des in dieser Arbeit entwickelten Spektrometers zu charakterisieren und die Ausleuchtung des Etalons zu optimieren wurde ein Simulationsprogramm entwickelt. Mit Hilfe der Simulation ist es möglich eine Aussage über die Mindestgröße der Apertur des Etalons zu treffen, um die "walk-off" Verluste zu reduzieren. Es konnte zudem an Hand der Simulation gezeigt werden, welchen Einfluss die Ausleuchtung des Etalons auf die Auflösung und Intensitätsverteilung über das gesamte Band hat.

    Description: All projects aim at pushing the limits of our knowledge about the interaction between a galaxy and a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its center. The development of a new instrument can be as valuable as combining different datasets. I follow both approaches and developed projects which deal with new instrumentation and telescope technology, combine datasets from different wavelengths and resolutions, and incorporate recent theoretical models and predictions, which can be verified empirically. The first two of the six chapters compile astrophysical and technical background of the individual projects, which are presented in the following four chapters. While the first project (Chapter 3) deals with observations of the innermost parsec of our Galaxy, Chapter 4 presents data of the inner kpc of an active galaxy. The subjects of Chapters 5 and 6 are very luminous AGN/host systems, so-called QSOs. Whereas Chapter 5 presents global, spatially unresolved properties of SMBH/host systems, the radio jet, analyzed in the final Chapter 6, combines all size scales. It is investigated from close to its origin out to several kpc. The accretion onto the black hole of the Milky Way (Chapter 3) is extremely inefficient and the SMBH possibly interacts dominantly via tidal forces only. The next discussed system (Chapter 4) is the prototype of moderately luminous Seyfert 2 AGN, NGC 1068. Here a strong local influence of the nuclear X-ray radiation is observed. Chapter 5 deals with the possible global importance of radiative interaction between highly luminous QSO AGN and the host. The radio jet in Chapte 6 definitely shows signs of interaction with the matter of its host several kpc away from the nucleus. Chapters 3-6 include a dedicated introductory and a conclusive section, which put the results obtained in the larger astrophysical context of the observation ...

    Description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird zunächst der Transport von kosmischer Strahlung in der Turbulenz der Heliosphäre untersucht. Dabei werden für verschiedene Turbulenzmodelle aktuelle lineare und nichtlineare Theorien mit Simulationen verglichen. Insbesondere wird das Plasmawellen-Modell der quasilinearen Theorie und die nichtlineare Führungszentrums (NLGC)-Theorie für den Fall isotroper Turbulenz verallgemeinert, wobei sich für die NLC-Theorie eine akzeptable Übereinstimmung mit Simulationen ergibt. Weiterhin werden Mechanismen zur Erzeugung der Turbulenz aus Instabilitäten in anisotropen Teilchenverteilungen diskutiert, darunter insbesondere die Weibel-Instabilität in gegenströmenden Maxwellschen Plasmen und die relativistisch und dreidimensional verallgemeinerte Harris-Instabilität in den Jets von Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB). Für GRB erfolgt darüber hinaus eine Vorhersage über die Zusammensetzung der Jets.

    Description: This thesis presents an imaging and spectroscopic study of the narrow-line region (NLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We find a correlation between size and luminosity of the NLR with different slopes for type-1 and type-2 AGNs which can be explained by the observers viewing angle and a receding torus. The radial properties of the NLR gas, such as reddening, electron density, ionization parameter, and velocity field are analyzed. We derive pure emission-line spectra and use the resulting absorption-line free ratios for spatially resolved spectral diagnostics. We find a transition between the AGN-excited NLR and the surrounding star-forming regions, allowing us to determine the NLR size independent of stellar contamination. The electron density and ionization parameter decrease with radius indicating that the NLR is photoionized by the central source only.The velocity fields suggest a disky NLR gas distribution with the torus axis lying in the galaxy disk.

    Description: In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird die vertikale Struktur von edge-on Scheibengalaxien mit einer 'box or peanut shaped' (B/PS) Struktur in der Bulgeregion unter Verwendung von nahinfrarot Beobachtungen untersucht. Durch Nutzung von Konturhervorhebungsverfahren und Flaechenhelligkeitsprofilen entlang der Hauptachse der Galaxie kann gezeigt werden, dass Material aus der Scheibe in vertikaler Richtung umverteilt wird, und zur Entstehung der B/PS Struktur fuehrt. Dies ist in Einklang mit dem auf der vertikalen Ausdehnung eines in der Galaxie vorhandenen stellaren Balkens sich stuetzenden sekulaeren Evolutionsmodell. Die Analyse der vertikalen Flaechenhelligkeitsverteilung zeigt eine Variation der Skalenhoehe entlang der radialen Ausdehnung der stellaren Scheibe. Diese Variation wird hier zum ersten Mal deutlich beobachtet, wobei an der Position der B/PS Struktur ein lokales Maximum der Skalenhoehe festzustellen ist, im Einklang mit dem sekulaeren Evolutionsmodell.

    Description: In the present work analytical solutions of the transport equation for hadronic cosmic rays are calculated. With these, it is possible for the first time to fit the energy spectra of the cosmic protons measured at the position of the earth. A focus lies on the investigation of the spatial diffusion of the galactic cosmic ray nuclei and their stochastic reacceleration by plasma waves superimposed on the interstellar medium. A realistic spatial distribution of supernova remnants as primary sources of the galactic cosmic rays and, as an additional process, the solar modulation are taken into account. Different fit parameters are obtained. Additionally, analytical approximations of the momentum solution for a power law injection spectrum for small and large momenta are calculated for the case without and for the case with spallation losses.

Es wird gezeigt, daß die Heizung ausreicht, das thermische Gleichgewicht im interstellaren Medium aufrecht zu erhalten. Außerdem lassen sich Rückschlüsse auf die Art der Turbulenz ziehen. Insbesondere kann gezeigt werden, daß die Turbulenz des interstellaren Mediums vermutlich anisotrop ist.

Zur Bestimmung der Heiz- und Strahlungsproduktionsraten wird die Strahlungstransportgleichung für einige einfache Geometrien exakt gelöst und anschließend der maximale Fehler abgeschätzt, der aus der Unkenntnis der exakten Geometrien folgt. Es wird eine analytische Abschätzung hergeleitet, welcher Prozeß die Heizrate dominiert. Schließlich wird untersucht, welche Bedingungen an experimentelle Daten gestellt werden müssen, um die Parameter des Modells eindeutig fitten zu können.

    Description: I presented the first study of the SFH of LSB galaxies by using integrated spectra. The analyzed sample was derived during a search for LSBs in the HDFS. The selection was done using a new method based on the locations of the galaxies in the colorcolor diagrams. As shown by Haberzettl (1999), the LSB galaxies in the colorcolor diagrams do not follow the redshift tracks built by the HSB galaxies. In the colorcolor diagrams, these tracks represent the five standard Hubble types. The different locations of the selected LSB galaxies are a first hint for their different stellar population mix ...

    Description: This Ph.D. thesis is dealing with the modeling of the Diffuse Ionized Gas (DIG) in our Milky Way and external edge-on galaxies. The ionizing sources of this gas are up to now not known, energy estimations favor photoionization. The present work investigates the significance of this process. The observed emission line ratios are thereby modeled with the photoionization code CLOUDY. The present thesis is taking into account the correct geometry of the observations in contrast to previous models. The results show unambiguously that the trends of the line ratios are reproducible with the models. The strength of an additional heating source, as is discussed in the literature, is strongly diminished. Therefore photoionization is indeed the main ionizing source of the DIG.

    Description: In meiner Arbeit untersuche ich die Bildung SiO2-reicher Objekte (SRO) in chondritischen Meteoriten (--〉 Chondrite). Diese Phasen werden nach den heutigen Modellen des frühen Sonnsystems nicht in diesen erwartet. Trotzdem enthalten einige kohlige Chondrite darunter insbesondere die CH-Chondrite und einige gewöhnliche Chondrite Objekte mit freiem SiO2. Die SRO habe ich mit der Elektronenstrahl-Mikrosonde und dem Sekundärionen-Massenspektrometer zur Bestimmung der chemischen Zusammensetzung, sowie mit dem Mikro-Raman Spektrometer und dem Transmissionselektronen-Mikroskop zur Bestimmung der SiO2-Polymorphie untersucht. In den kohligen Chondriten treten die SRO fast nur in den CH- und CR-Chondriten auf. Deren Population in den CH-Chondriten beträgt ~0.1 Vol.%. Die Paragenese besteht fast ausschließlich aus SiO2 und einem etwa Pyroxen-normativen Silikat. Diese beiden Phasen zeigen oftmals Entmischungsstrukturen. Diese SRO sind meist an den refraktären Elementen Ca, Al und Ti verarmt, bis zu 0.015 x CI. In gleichem Maße sind die Seltenen Erd-Elemente (SEE) verarmt und zeigen unfraktionierte, flache Muster. Das Si/Mg-Verhältnis ist stark fraktioniert, mit 3 4 x CI. Die SRO sind außerdem verarmt an volatilen Elementen, jedoch haben zwei SRO-Chondren sehr hohe Mn-Konzentrationen, und das, obwohl die CH-Chondrite die Mn-ärmsten Gesamt-Zusammensetzungen aller Chondrite haben. Eine dieser Mn-reichen Chondren enthält Pyroxen mit den höchsten, je aus einem Meteoriten berichteten Mn-Konzentrationen von 6.68 Gew.%. Das SiO2 tritt in den SRO hauptsächlich als Glas und in seinen Hoch- und Mitteltemperatur-Polymorphen Cristobalit und Tridymit auf. Die Bildung dieser SRO kann über einen zweistufigen Mechanismus verstanden werden, bei dem zuerst eine fraktionierte Kondensation die Precursor der SRO bildete, die anschließend im zweiten Schritt zu Temperaturen 〉1968 K wieder aufgeheizt wurden und danach rasch abkühlten ...

    Description: Dense cold molecular clouds reckoned to be stellar nurseries are the scene of an extreme molecular deuteration. Despite the cosmic D/H ratio of 10^{-5}, molecular species in prestellar cores are observed to contain nearly as much deuterium as hydrogen. This astonishing deuterium enrichment promoted by low temperatures is the work of H3+. It is the key species which unlocks the deuterium from its HD reservoir via reactions like H3+ + HD -〉 H2D+ + H_2 and drags it further to other species in successive reactions. For this reason, the H3+ + H2 isotopic system is outstandingly critical for the astrochemistry of cold environments. However, its understanding is yet incomplete and insufficient. This thesis thus focuses on the H3+ + H2 isotopic system from a theoretical, experimental and astronomical point of view giving a particular look into the role of nuclear spins...

Die stellare Komponente wurde mithilfe von optischen und nahinfraroten CCD Bildern sowie optischen Spektren auf ihre Verteilung und Sternenstehungsrate untersucht. Durch Interferometerbeobachtungen konnte die Verteilung und Kinematik des atomaren Gases analysiert werden, mit Fokus auf die Kollisionsgeschichte. Ausserdem wurden CO Beobachtungen durchgefuehrt, um die Masse des molekularen Gases als Rohmaterial fuer Sternentstehung zu bestimmen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich S+E Kollisionen in ihren Eigenschaften von S+S Kollisionen unterscheiden und ebenfalls einen bedeutsamen Einfluss auf die Galaxienentwicklung haben...

    Description: Bei der Suche nach AGN im Optischen/UV werden kaum staubgerötete Objekte gefunden. Jedoch ist vom Radio/Röntgen-Bereich die Existenz solcher AGN bekannt. Da der obskurierende Staub die absorbierte Energie im Infraroten re-emittiert, wird der ISOCAM Parallel Survey bei 6.7 Mikrometern mit dem Two Micron All Sky Survey kombiniert. Anhand geeigneter Vergleichsquellen konnten 77 AGN Kandidaten selektiert werden. Mittels optischer Spektroskopie werden verschiedene AGN Typen, einschl. staubverhüllter Objekte gefunden. Die optisch bestimmte Anzahldichte von AGN muss wegen der Population roter Quasare revidiert werden. Im rötesten ISO-2MASS Quasar ist das AGN Kontinuum durch einen kompakten Absorber beeinflusst. Die Typ 2 AGN weisen eine grosse Vielfalt auf und sind aufgrund von Obskuration um einen Faktor drei unterrepräsentiert. Der ISO-2MASS AGN Survey ist eine effiziente Methode AGN unabhängig von ihrem Typ oder dem Grad der Obskuration zu finden.

    Description: Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines symmetriefreien magnetohydrodynamischen Modells der solaren Korona, welches sich vor allem durch seine explizite Energiegleichung von bestehenden Ansätzen abhebt. Die relevanten MHD-Gleichungen werden in einem numerischen Code implementiert, dessen Zuverlässigkeit durch zahlreiche Tests ansteigender Komplexität verifiziert wird. Auf numerischer Seite liegen die Schwerpunkte vor allem auf Methoden zur adäquaten Approximation der kugelförmigen Sonnenoberfläche als innerem Rand eines kartesischen Gitterskörpers; ferner wird für die magnetische Divergenzkorrektur das sog. GLM-Verfahren mit einem klassischen Projektionsalgorithmus verglichen. Als Anwendung wird die zeitabhängige Ausbreitung Koronaler Masseauswürfe in der sonnenahen Heliosphäre bis etwa zehn Sonnenradien studiert. Die aus der Simulation extrahierten Zeitkurven der relevanten Plasmagrößen zeigen qualitative Ähnlichkeit zu typischen Messdaten erdnaher Satellitenbeobachtungen.

    Description: In the framework of this PhD thesis, the study of the distribution of an extended mass close to the super-massive black hole (SMBH) at the centre of our Galaxy is addressed using observational data and theoretical modelling. The main emphasize is on establishing a distinction between the fraction of dark mass present in the form of a black hole and that in an extended form. Despite the significant observational and theoretical progress in the understanding of SMBHs in the last ten years, the formation of SMBHs and the interplay with their host galaxy are still poorly understood. The work presented here extends our understanding of the dynamics in the vicinity of the SMBH. Already in 1974, it was proposed that the radio source SgrA* could be a SMBH. With observations during the following years, it became more clear that the centre of our Galaxy hides an amount of dark mass close to 3 million solar masses. However, the strongest evidence for the existence of a SMBH, was only after it became possible to trace for the first time stellar orbits of fast moving stars, the so-called S-stars, around SgrA*. This was achievable using the SHARP near-infrared speckle camera at la Silla in Chile as well as the near-infrared camera NAOS/CONICA at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Paranal in Chile.

    Description: In this thesis the design and analysis of SIS-mixers (SIS: superconductor-isolator-superconductor) for the use as low-noise and broad-band detectors in the submm-region for astronomical observations is described. The SIS-mixers have been developed for the frequency band 2 (636-802 GHz) of the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI) on ESA’s space-observatory Herschel. The required performance baseline has been defined by the HIFI-consortium in terms of the estimated noise temperature contribution of the mixer to be 110 K at 636 GHz and 150 K at 802 GHz. In the frequency region between 80 GHz and 900 GHz Heterodyne SIS mixers are established as the best devices for low noise mixing with a high spectral resolution (mixing of the signal radiation with local oscillator, LO). For the HIFI band 2 mixers, the technology of Nb/Al-Al2O3/Nb-junctions has been used with junction areas of 0.5-1.0 um2, a target value for the current density jc of 15 kA/cm2 and a gap-voltage of 2.75-2.77 mV. For the compensation of the SIS-junction’s intrinsic capacitance and the optimized power coupling to the tunnel junction, two types of matching circuits have been theoretically modelled and experimentally studied: (1) three-step transformer single junction devices and (2) double-junction devices. This has been done for two material combinations: for an all-superconductive micro strip NbTiN/SiO2/Nb, and for the superconductor/normal-conductor combination NbTiN/SiO2/Al...

    Description: In der vorliegenden Dissertation wurde die Lage von Low Surface Brightness (LSB) Galaxien innerhalb der großskaligen Struktur untersucht. Dazu wurde der Sloan Digital Sky Survey herangezogen. Mit diesem Datensatz wurde die mittlere umgebende Galaxiendichte von LSBs innerhalb von Sphären mit einem Radius, der zwischen 0.8 und 8 Mpc variiert wurde, bestimmt. Zum Vergleich wurde die mittlere umgebende Galaxiendichte von High Surface Brightness (HSB) Galaxien ermittelt. Ferner wurde erstmalig das LSB-HSB Galaxy Bias berechnet. Aus diesen Studien resultiert, dass LSBs im Vergleich zu HSBs eher in Gebieten mit geringer umgebender Galaxiendichte zu finden sind. LSBs favorisieren die äußeren Bereiche der Wände und Filamente, die die großskalige Struktur des Universums bilden. Darüber hinaus wurden die Daten auf das Vorkommen von Aktiven Galaktischen Kernen (engl.: AGN) in LSBs analysiert ...

    Description: In der Radioastronomie und in der Atmosphärenforschung erlauben moderne Heterodyn-Empfangssysteme die Beobachtung von Atom- und Molekülübergangslinien mit ZF-Bandbreiten von bis zu 4 GHz. Zur Abdeckung dieser großen Bandbreiten wurden bisher Echtzeitspektrometer eingesetzt, die entweder nur eine geringe Auflösung aufweisen oder Hybrid-Spektrometer, die die Bandbreite durch das Zusammenschalten mehrerer Subsysteme erreichen. Solche Hybrid-Spektrometer sind zum einen sehr komplex und zum anderen zeigt diese Art von Spektrometern einen Platforming-Effekt. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es deshalb, ein Echtzeitspektrometer zu entwickeln, das auf Akusto-Optik basierend intrinsisch eine Bandbreite von 〉= 3 GHz bei moderater Auflösung (〈 3 MHz) zur VerfÓgung stellt. Zur Entwicklung des Prototypen des Breitbandigen Akusto-Optischen Spektrometers (BAOS) war es notwendig von der bisher in AOS verwendeten LaserwellenlÑnge im Infraroten zu einer kÓrzen WellenlÑngen im Blauen zu wechseln. Des weiteren wird fÓr das BAOS eine Bragg-Zelle verwendet, die nicht auf Lithium-Niobat basiert, sondern auf Rutil. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein mathematisches Modell entwickelt, das in Fraunhofer-NÑherung das zweidimensionale Beugungsbild des Bragg-gebeugten Laserlichts auf dem CCD beschreibt und somit die MÒglichkeit bietet, im Vorfeld der Spektrometer Entwicklung die optimale Ausleuchtung der Bragg-Zelle und die erwartet Effizienz des BAOS zu bestimmen. Mittels dieser Berechnungen wurde der optische Aufbau des Prototypen-BAOS konstruiert und die Kenndaten des Spektrometers experimentell bestimmt. Wie sich zeigt, erfÓllt der Prototyp des BAOS die Erwartungen hinsichtlich Bandbreite, AuflÒsung, Noise Dynamic Range (NDR) und StabilitÑt voll und ganz ...

    Description: The Herschel satellite observatory will explore the universe at far-infrared, submillimetre, and millimetre wavelengths. This regime of the electromagnetic spectrum is difficult to observe, because water vapour in the Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the signals of almost all the astronomical sources. With the 3.5m telescope (the largest ever placed aboard a spacecraft), it will be possible to observe various atomic and molecular lines with exceptionally high spatial resolution. The receiver system employs the heterodyne technique, and the spectral information is obtained by means of real-time spectrometers. Within this thesis, the requirements, specifications, design concept, and development of a wide bandwidth array acousto-optical spectrometer (WBS) is discussed...

    Description: Die Erde und viele andere planetare Körper besitzen Eisennickel-Kerne. Diese resultieren aus einer zumindest partiellen Aufschmelzung in der Frühphase ihrer Geschichte. Durch die Gravitation hat sich dabei das schwerere Metall vom leichteren Silicat abgetrennt und ist in den Mittelpunkt des Körpers gesunken. Auf diese Weise entstand daraus der Metallkern. Während dieses Segregationsprozesses stand das Metall im Gleichgewicht mit dem Silicat. Eine geringe Menge des Elements Silicium wird abhängig von Temperatur und Sauerstoffpartialdruck aus der Oxidationsstufe +IV zum elementaren Silicium reduziert. Dieses Si wandert in die Metallphase und wird mit ihr in den Kern extrahiert. Die Menge des Si im Fe-Ni-Kern ist demnach ein empfindlicher Indikator für Temperatur und Sauerstoffpartialdruck bei der Kernbildung. Die meisten Gruppen der Eisenmeteorite werden als Derivate solcher Metallkerne angesehen, die sich während des Aufschmelzens von Planetesimalen gebildet haben. Der Si-Gehalt in Eisenmeteoriten sollte daher Temperatur und Sauerstoffpartialdruck bei ihrer Bildung widerspiegeln. Bisher waren die Si-Gehalte in Eisenmeteoriten nicht bekannt, weil diese unter den Nachweisgrenzen der verwendeten analytischen Methoden (Elektronenstrahl- Mikroanalyse) liegen. Auch der zu weiteren Berechnungen notwendige Aktivitätskoeffizient von Silicium in Eisennickel-Legierungen war bisher nicht ausreichend bekannt ...

    Description: The main focus of this work is the development of ultrathin NbN and NbTiN films. A reproducible and reliable deposition process for ultrathin NbN and NbTiN films for the use in phonon-cooled HEB devices was established. The ultrathin films were deposited on silicon (Si) substrates and on 2æm Si3N4 membranes by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. A method for the precise control of the nitrogen partial pressure by monitoring the target voltage has been introduced to deposit high quality, ultrathin NbN (3-4nm, Tc=8.5 K) and NbTiN (4-5nm, Tc=8K) films. Substrate heating of at least 600ʿC during the deposition is essential for the fabrication of ultrathin NbN and NbTiN films on Si substrates and Si3N4 membranes. The fabrication process required for HEB devices to be used in a quasi-optical mixer was developed. The ultrathin film was patterned by electron beam lithography (EBL), resulting in bolometer devices that measure areas of about 0.4 æm x 4 æm. The nature of the contact determines the interface transparency between the bolometer and the contact structure. Different cleaning processes have been performed and the influence on the contact resistance has been instigated. A better interface transparency gives less RF losses and could improve the HEB sensitivity and local oscillator (LO) requirement ...

    Description: Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die technische Weiterentwicklung des durchstimmbaren Infrarot-Heterodynsystems THIS (Tuneable Heterodyne Infrared Spectrometer) sowie die Planung, Vorbereitung und Durchführung diverser Beobachtungseinsätze des Instruments an unterschiedlichen Teleskopen. Auf technischer Seite konnte der sehr erfolgreiche Einsatz von Quanten- Kaskadenlasern als Lokaloszillatoren, die Empfindlichkeit des Systems erstmals auf das Niveau von CO2-Laser gepumpten Instrumenten bringen. Frequenzstabilität und radiometrisches Verhalten des Instruments konnten für Beobachtungszeiträume von einigen Stunden nachgewiesen werden.Weiterhin wurde ein in den Empfänger integriertes, optisches Guide-System für den Einsatz an Teleskopen entwickelt und aufgebaut. Die neu entwickelte Optik macht THIS durch die Verwendung einer integrierten optischen Kamera sowie eines Scannerspiegels zur Auswahl von Beobachtungspositionen am Himmel weitgehend unabhängig vom Teleskoptyp und damit vielseitig einsetzbar. Die technischen Neuerungen und die mechanische Stabilität des neuen Aufbaus wurden u. a. während Messperioden am Observatorium Hoher List bei Daun/Eifel sowie am McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope auf dem Kitt Peak nahe Tucson/Arizona erstmalig außerhalb des Labors genutzt und getestet. Es konnten Molekül-Absorptionen aus Sonnenflecken aufgenommen und aus den vollständig aufgelösten Linienprofilen die Anregungstemperaturen des Materials bestimmt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde eine theoretische Analyse der Kalibration von am Teleskop gewonnenen Spektren durchgeführt und auf die gemessenen Daten angewandt ...

    Description: Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt einen neuen Modellierungsversuch der Heliosphäre und ihrer Wechselwirkung mit kosmischer Strahlung da. Dabei wird ein dreidimensionales hydrodynamisches Modell verwendet, wodurch keine Symmetrieannahmen bezüglich der Geometrie des Problems mehr benötigt werden. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen von Aktivitätszyklen der Sonne (11-Jahreszyklus, Maunderminimum, kleinskalige Störungen) sowie Veränderungen in der Dichte und Einströmrichtung des lokalen interstellaren Mediums (LISM) auf die Heliosphärenstruktur untersucht. Auf diesem dreidimensionalen Modell basierend, werden dann im zweiten Teil die Auswirkungen und der Transport von kosmischer Strahlung in der Heliosphäre studiert. Erstmals werden realistische anisotrope Diffusionstensoren verwendet, welche selbstkonsistent im Modell berücksichtigt werden.

    Description: The thesis focuses on two case studies of the host galaxies of the quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) I Zw 1 and 3C 48. The studies are motivated by the hypothesis that ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) might represent the early stage of QSO evolution (Sanders et al. 1988). According to this hypothesis, galaxy mergers and interactions trigger gas inflow which is followed by starburst activity and by the formation of an active nucleus. As likely transitionary objects between the ultra-luminous infrared stage and the QSO stage, I Zw 1 and 3C 48 are promising candidates to investigate the active nucleus, the starburst, and the merger properties as the essential links between all stages of the proposed evolutionary sequence. The case study of I Zw 1 has an observational focus and is based on near-infrared (NIR) imaging and spectroscopy, carried out with ISAAC (Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera) at the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on Cerro Paranal in Chile. The two-armed spiral host galaxy of I Zw 1 shows two bright knots in the north and in the west of the optical disk region, respectively. Here, the new ISAAC spectra indicate that the northern object is a projected foreground star, as previously assumed but recently challenged. In the surroundings of the western source, the ISAAC J-band image displays tidal features. This gives further support for the scenario that I Zw 1 is presently in a minor merger process with this source. The new spectra and the NIR colors of the western source indicate an old stellar population. The host of I Zw 1 is analyzed in a one-dimensional structural decomposition into bulge, disk, and halo components, which results in mean J-band mass-to-light ratios ...

    Description: This PhD thesis presents a study of active galaxies carried out from cm- to mm-wavelengths with high angular resolution. The mechanism of the activity in these objects is supposed to be strongly correlated with the accretion of matter onto a super-massive black hole in their centres. One approach to increase the understanding of these highly interesting sources is to observe and analyse the molecular gas. The characteristics of its distribution and dynamics are indispensible diagnostic tools to investigate the accretion processes at different angular scales. A second approach is the study of emission originating in the direct vicinity of the black hole, such as non-thermal radio emission. To account for different activity levels, five objects were chosen ranging from nearby, Low Luminosity Active Galaxies (LLAGs; NGC3718 at z=0.003 and NGC1068 at z=0.004) to higher redshifted, High LAGs (HLAGs; HE1029-1831 at z=0.039, 3C48 at z=0.367, and Q0957+561 at z=1.414). The first two sources are part of the NU(clei of)-GA(laxy) project, that aims at analysing the distribution and kinematics of the molecular gas at high angular resolution/sensitivity in a sample of 30 nearby LLAGs. HE1029-1831 is part of a complementary sample of nearby HLAGs with similar aims. All sources were observed in carbon-monoxide (CO), known to be a good molecular gas tracer, with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) providing high sensitivity and high angular resolution. CO emission was detected in all five galaxies. In NGC3718, the molecular gas disk, having roughly two hundred million solar masses, is highly warped. The distribution of the gas reveals large scale asymmetries witnessing a possible tidal tail interaction with a close companion, and as well small scale asymmetries most likely tracing accretion onto the nucleus ...

    Description: In den Marsmeteoriten ALHA 77005, ALH 84001, Chassigny, EETA 79001A, Governador Valadares, Lafayette, Nakhla, Sayh al Uhaymir 005, Shergotty und Zagami sowie den Chondriten Grüneberg, Morávka, Naragh und Neuschwanstein wurden die Konzentrationen der langlebigen kosmogenen Radionuklide Be-10, Al-26 und Mn-53 gemessen. Die Analyse fand mittels ultrasensitiver Beschleuniger-Massenspektrometrie (Accelerator-Mass-Spectrometry: AMS) statt. Dazu mussten die Elemente Al, Be, Ca, Fe, Mn und Ni mittels eines radiochemischen Trennungsgangs separiert werden. Daraufhin wurden hochreine Oxid-, Hydrid- und Fluorid-Proben für die AMS-Messung präpariert und in den Beschleunigerlabors der TU-München und der ETH Zürich gemessen. Darüber hinaus wurden die Konzentrationen der kosmogenen Anteile der Edelgase He-3, Ne-21, Ne-22, Ar-36, Ar-38, Kr-80 und Kr-83 zusammengestellt, die im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Forschungsvorhabens am MPI Mainz an den gleichen Proben analysiert und auf ihren kosmogenen Anteil korrigiert wurden. Dadurch wurde ein umfassender same-sample-Datensatz mit teilweise erstmaligen Daten für kosmogene Nuklide in den untersuchten zehn Marsmeteoriten geschaffen, der in diesem Umfang bisher nicht erhältlich war. Zur Interpretation der gemessenen Radionuklidkonzentrationen diente das von Leya et al. [LEY00b] entwickelte physikalische Modell, welches auf der Basis nuklearer Daten die Produktionsrate kosmogener Nuklide in Meteoroiden berechnet. Mit Hilfe der analysierten Daten und der Modellrechnungen war es möglich, die Bestrahlungsgeschichten detailliert zu entschlüsseln ...

    Description: The nature of compact galaxy groups, which is important concerning the influence of the environment on member galaxies, is largely unknown. In this work dwarf galaxies are investigated in the outer regions of compact galaxy groups in order to determine the evolutionary state of the groups. This is reasonable, because dwarf galaxies are the most common galaxy type and their evolution is influenced by their environment. The results of this work show, that the investigated compact galaxy groups are not chance configurations, but physically bound systems. In all investigated groups dwarf galaxies extend far beyond the density centers of the groups. Further the extension of the groups was estimated and the calculated radii are of the order of 2 Mpc indicating sizes similar to large galaxy groups. This result suggests that compact galaxy groups are centers of larger systems.

    Description: Models of the thermal behavior of a cometary nucleus, the evolution of the neutral gas coma, the ionized cometary coma and of the interaction of the cometary plasma with the solar wind are studied in this work. The general aim is to develop a global model of the comet and its environment in order to characterize the physical conditions around comets 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and 46P/Wirtanen with respect to the heliocentric distance. The results also provide estimates of the effects of the cometary environment on the radio science investigations experiment (RSI) aboard the spacecraft Rosetta. After the launch that is scheduled for February 2004, the Rosetta mission is planned to encounter comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and accompany it on its orbit. Comet 46P/Wirtanen has been the original target comet, but serves now as back-up target due to the postponement of the Rosetta launch in January 2003. The model of the heat diffusion within the cometary nucleus is one-dimensional. A grid of one-dimensional models is distributed over the nucleus in order to determine the temperature distribution and the sublimation characteristics of the comet on the whole surface of the comet. A heat balance equation is applied as boundary condition on the surface. Many parameters that have to be accounted for in a heat diffusion model are not precisely known to date. The variation of these parameters within reasonable limits yields a wide range of possible results. The heat diffusion within the cometary nucleus is derived from an energy conservation equation that includes heat conduction through the porous cometary material and heat convection due to the transport of latent heat by the gas phase within the nucleus. Model results are evaluated by a comparison of modeled and observed global gas production rates ...

    Description: The first major differentiation in primitive planetesimals is the formation of metal- or metal-sulfide cores. To constrain the time of asteroidal differentiation, meteoritic metals and silicates coexisting with metals were analyzed for Wisotopes and Hf and W concentrations. The study focused on silicate inclusions in non-magmatic IAB iron meteorites and the corresponding metal phases as well as on winonaites and acapulcoites were analyzed. IAB iron meteorites formed by crystallization of metal ponds under low pressure conditions at or near the surface of their asteroidal parent body. The presence of abundant silicate inclusions reflects either incomplete metal-silicate separation or mixing of metal and silicates by impacts. Hafnium-W measurements were performed on magnetic and non-magnetic separates from seven IAB iron meteorites to constrain the exact timing of metal separation, silicate differentiation and metamorphism. IAB metals have a deficit in 182W of - 3.1 ± 0.2 -units (relative to terrestrial standard materials)...

    Description: In this thesis I study the physical and chemical properties of molecular gas in star forming regions. This work takes advantage of the newly developed CONDOR receiver, which allows spectrally resolved observations of emission lines at frequencies of about 1.4 THz. Thus the thesis contains observational data obtained with CONDOR as well as observations motivated by the science one can do with receivers at terahertz frequencies are largely included. In the massive star forming region NGC 2024, seven emission lines of 12CO and 13CO have been observed, including 12CO J=13-12 (f=1.497 THz) observations with CONDOR. These high-J CO data reveal a thin layer of hot (~300 K) and dense (~10e6 cm-3) molecular gas, which has not been detected with any other tracer before. This newly discovered component is located at the interface between an HII region and the molecular cloud. Furthermore, the narrow line width indicates that this layer is heated by radiation rather than by shocks. On the background of well established physical scenarios, such as the ''Blister Model'' and the PDR scenario, I developed a model of NGC 2024, using radiative transfer computations. This model explains both, the spatial distribution of density and temperature along the line of sight and the velocity structure of the source...
