Three relaxation processes were observed in the composite HIPS films. The first one (a-relaxation peak) appeared at about 93 degrees C and represented the glass transition. The second peak p was a high-temperature part of the first one and overlapped it. The p peak was caused by the release and subsequent motion of excess charges deposited during the electret preparation or the polarization process. The third peak appeared at about 150 degrees C and occurred only in the spectra of the composite films. The overlapping peaks were separated by the thermal cleaning technique. The subsequent application of the numerical methods (the Tikhonov regularization technique) allowed to determine the activation energy of the second process and to compare the obtained value with the corresponding data on the dielectric relaxation.}, language = {ru} } @article{Daute1995, author = {Daute, Daniela}, title = {{\"U}bermolekulare Strukturbildung durch Selbstorganisation neuer discoider Arylaminotriazine and assoziierter Alkoxybenzoate}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @misc{Fischer2012, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Fischer, Jost}, title = {{\"U}ber Synchronisationsph{\"a}nomene nichtlinearer akustischer Oszillatoren}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63618}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2012}, abstract = {In dieser Arbeit werden die Effekte der Synchronisation nichtlinearer, akustischer Oszillatoren am Beispiel zweier Orgelpfeifen untersucht.

Leider entziehen sie sich aber, aufgrund ihrer großen Entfernung zur Erde, einer direkten Beobachtung. Dies gilt zumindest f{\"u}r derzeitige und in naher Zukunft zur Verf{\"u}gung stehende Instrumente. Um aber beispielsweise zu verstehen, ob Magnetfelder durch einen Dynamoprozess generiert werden oder {\"U}berbleibsel der Sternentstehung sind, ist es zwingend erforderlich, die Oberfl{\"a}chenstruktur und die zeitliche Entwicklung von stellaren Feldern zu untersuchen. Gl{\"u}cklicherweise haben wir mit der Dopplerverschiebung sowie der Polarisation von Licht Mittel zur Verf{\"u}gung, um indirekt die Magnetfeldtopologie entfernter Sternen zu rekonstruieren, wenn auch nur die schnell rotierender. Die auf den beiden genannten Effekten basierende Rekonstruktionsmethode ist unter dem Namen Zeeman-Doppler Imaging (ZDI) bekannt. Sie stellt eine leistungsf{\"a}hige Methode dar, um aus rotationsverbreiterten Stokes Profilen schnell rotierender Sterne Oberfl{\"a}chenkartierungen der Temperatur und Magnetfeldverteilung zu erstellen. Durch das ZDI konnten in den vergangenen Jahren die Magnetfeldverteilungen zahlreicher Sterne rekonstruiert werden. Diese Methode stellt allerdings sehr hohe Anforderungen sowohl an die Instrumentierung als auch an die Rechenleistung und ist deshalb h{\"a}ufig mit zahlreichen Annahmen und N{\"a}herungen verbunden. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, Methoden f{\"u}r ein ZDI zu entwickeln, das darauf ausgelegt ist, zeitaufgel{\"o}ste spektropolarimetrische Daten von aktiven sp{\"a}ten Sternen zu invertieren. Es sollte also insbesondere den komplexen und lokalen Magnetfeldstrukturen dieser Sterne Rechnung getragen werden. Um die Orientierung und St{\"a}rke solcher Felder zuverl{\"a}ssig rekonstruieren zu k{\"o}nnen, sollte die Inversion im Stande sein, alle vier Stokes-Komponenten einzubeziehen. Ferner war vorgesehen auf vollst{\"a}ndigen polarisierten Strahlungstransportmodellierungen aufzubauen. Dies erm{\"o}glicht eine simultane und selbstkonsistente Temperatur- und Magnetfeld-Inversion, die damit dem komplexen Zusammenspiel zwischen Temperatur und Magnetfeld gerecht wird. Schließlich sollte die Anwendung eines neu zu entwickelnden ZDI Programms auf Stokes I und V Beobachtungen von II Pegasi (kurz: II Peg) erste Magnefeldkarten dieses sehr aktiven Sterns liefern. Um den hohen Rechenaufwand, der mit der Inversionsmethode einhergeht, besser bew{\"a}ltigen zu k{\"o}nnen, wurde zun{\"a}chst eine schnelle Approximationsmethode f{\"u}r den polarisierten Strahlungstransport entwickelt. Sie basiert auf einer Hauptkomponentenanalyse (PCA) sowie auf k{\"u}nstlichen Neuronalen Netzen. Letztere approximieren den funktionalen Zusammenhang zwischen atmosph{\"a}rischen Parametern und den zugeh{\"o}rigen lokalen Stokes Profilen. Inverse Probleme sind potentiell schlecht gestellt und erfordern in der Regel eine Regularisierung. Der entwickelte Ansatz verwendet eine lokale Entropie, die auf die Besonderheiten bei der Rekonstruktion lokalisierter Magnetfeder eingeht. Ein weiterer neuartiger Ansatz befasst sich mit der Rauschreduktion polarimetrischer Beobachtungsdaten. Er macht sich die Hauptkomponentenanalyse zu Nutze, um mit Hilfe einer Vielzahl beobachteter Spektrallinien, einzelne Linien mit drastisch vergr{\"o}ßertem Signal-zu-Rausch-Verh{\"a}ltnis wieder zu geben. Diese Methode hat gegen{\"u}ber anderen Multi-Spektrallinien-Verfahren den Vorteil, nach wie vor eine Inversion auf der Basis einzelner Spektrallinien durchf{\"u}hren zu k{\"o}nnen. Schließlich wurde das Inversionsprogramm iMap entwickelt, das die zuvor genannten Methoden implementiert. Detaillierte Testrechnungen demonstrieren die Funktionsf{\"a}higkeit und Genauigkeit der schnellen Synthese-Methode und weisen einen Zeitgewinn von nahezu drei Gr{\"o}ßenordnungen gegen{\"u}ber der konventionellen Strahlungstransportberechnung auf. Desweiteren untersuchen wir den Einfluss der verschiedenen Stokes Komponenten (IV bzw. IVQU) auf die Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeit, ein bekanntes Magnetfeld zu rekonstruieren. Damit belegen wir die Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeit unseres Inversionsprogrammes und zeigen dar{\"u}ber hinaus auch Einschr{\"a}nkungen von Magnetfeldinversionen im allgemeinen auf.

Stars of the three main stellar components are selected according to their spatial distributions and their distributions in colour\&\#8722;magnitude diagrams. Their average coordinate displacement is computed from the difference between multiple Ks-band observations for stars as faint as Ks = 19 mag. Proper motions are derived from the slope of the best-fitting line among ten VMC epochs over a time baseline of ~1 yr. Background galaxies are used to calibrate the absolute astrometric reference frame. Results.

We analysed the energy-resolved light curve and the time-resolved X-ray spectra provided by the EPIC cameras on board XMM-Newton. We also analysed the first high-resolution spectrum of this source provided by the Reflection Grating Spectrometer. Results. An X-ray pulse of 9350 +/- 160 s was measured. Comparison with previous measurements confirms the secular spin up of this source. We successfully fit the pulse-phase-resolved spectra with Comptonisation models. These models imply a very small (r similar to 3 km) and hot (kT similar to 2-3 keV) emitting region and therefore point to a hot spot over the neutron star (NS) surface as the most reliable explanation for the X-ray pulse. The long NS spin period, the spin-up rate, and persistent X-ray emission can be explained within the theory of quasi-spherical settling accretion, which may indicate that the magnetic field is in the magnetar range. Thus, 4U0114+65 could be a wind-accreting magnetar. We also observed two episodes of low luminosity. The first was only observed in the low-energy light curve and can be explained as an absorption by a large over-dense structure in the wind of the B1 supergiant donor. The second episode, which was deeper and affected all energies, may be due to temporal cessation of accretion onto one magnetic pole caused by non-spherical matter capture from the structured stellar wind. The light curve displays two types of dips that are clearly seen during the high-flux intervals. The short dips, with durations of tens of seconds, are produced through absorption by wind clumps. The long dips, in turn, seem to be associated with the rarefied interclump medium. From the analysis of the X-ray spectra, we found evidence of emission lines in the X-ray photoionised wind of the B1Ia donor. The Fe K alpha line was found to be highly variable and much weaker than in other X-ray binaries with supergiant donors. The degree of wind clumping, measured through the covering fraction, was found to be much lower than in supergiant donor stars with earlier spectral types. Conclusions. The XMM-Newton spectroscopy provided further support for the magnetar nature of the neutron star in 4U0114+65. The light curve presents dips that can be associated with clumps and the interclump medium in the stellar wind of the mass donor.}, language = {en} } @article{IgnaceOskinovaBrown2003, author = {Ignace, Richard and Oskinova, Lida and Brown, John C.}, title = {XMM-Newton Observations of the Nitrogen-Rich Wolf-Rayet star WR1}, year = {2003}, abstract = {We present XMM-Newton results for the X-ray spectrum from the N-rich Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR 1.

The lack of hard emission in our dataset is suggestive that WR 1 may truly be a single star, thus representing the first detailed X-ray spectrum that isolates the WR wind alone (in contrast to colliding wind zones). Although the properties of the S-edge are not well-constrained by our data, it does appear to be real, and its detection indicates that at least some of the hot gas in WR 1 must reside interior to the radius of optical depth unity for the total absorptive opacity at the energy of the edge.}, language = {en} } @article{SidoliSgueraEspositoetal.2022, author = {Sidoli, Lara and Sguera, Vito and Esposito, Paolo and Oskinova, Lida and Polletta, Maria del Carmen}, title = {XMM-Newton discovery of very high obscuration in the candidate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient AX J1714.1-3912}, series = {Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, volume = {512}, journal = {Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, number = {2}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

During the XMM-Newton observation the source is variable on a timescale of hundred seconds and shows two luminosity states, with a flaring activity followed by unflared emission, with a variability amplitude of a factor of about 50. We have discovered an intense iron emission line with a centroid energy of 6.4 keV in the power law-like spectrum, modified by a large absorption (N-H similar to 10(24) cm(-2)), never observed before from this source. This X-ray spectrum is unusual for an SFXT, but resembles the so-called 'highly obscured sources', high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) hosting an evolved B[e] supergiant companion (sgB[e]). This might suggest that AX J1714.1-3912 is a new member of this rare type of HMXBs, which includes IGR J16318-4848 and CI Camelopardalis. Increasing this small population of sources would be remarkable, as they represent an interesting short transition evolutionary stage in the evolution of massive binaries.

Therefore, further investigations of the companion star are needed to disentangle the two hypothesis.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OskinovaHamannFeldmeier2007, author = {Oskinova, Lida and Hamann, Wolf-Rainer and Feldmeier, Achim}, title = {X-raying clumped stellar winds}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-18133}, year = {2007}, abstract = {X-ray spectroscopy is a sensitive probe of stellar winds. X-rays originate from optically thin shock-heated plasma deep inside the wind and propagate outwards throughout absorbing cool material. Recent analyses of the line ratios from He-like ions in the X-ray spectra of O-stars highlighted problems with this general paradigm: the measured line ratios of highest ions are consistent with the location of the hottest X-ray emitting plasma very close to the base of the wind, perhaps indicating the presence of a corona, while measurements from lower ions conform with the wind-embedded shock model. Generally, to correctly model the emerging Xray spectra, a detailed knowledge of the cool wind opacities based on stellar atmosphere models is prerequisite. A nearly grey stellar wind opacity for the X-rays is deduced from the analyses of high-resolution X-ray spectra. This indicates that the stellar winds are strongly clumped. Furthermore, the nearly symmetric shape of X-ray emission line profiles can be explained if the wind clumps are radially compressed. In massive binaries the orbital variations of X-ray emission allow to probe the opacity of the stellar wind; results support the picture of strong wind clumping. In high-mass X-ray binaries, the stochastic X-ray variability and the extend of the stellar-wind part photoionized by X-rays provide further strong evidence that stellar winds consist of dense clumps.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Foster2022, author = {Foster, Mary Grace}, title = {X-Ray studies of exoplanet systems}, publisher = {xiii, 92}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-56215}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-562152}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {108}, year = {2022}, abstract = {X-rays are integral to furthering our knowledge of exoplanetary systems. In this work we discuss the use of X-ray observations to understand star-planet interac- tions, mass-loss rates of an exoplanet's atmosphere and the study of an exoplanet's atmospheric components using future X-ray spectroscopy. The low-mass star GJ 1151 was reported to display variable low-frequency radio emission, which is an indication of coronal star-planet interactions with an unseen exoplanet. In chapter 5 we report the first X-ray detection of GJ 1151's corona based on XMM-Newton data. Averaged over the observation, we detect the star with a low coronal temperature of 1.6 MK and an X-ray luminosity of LX = 5.5 × 1026 erg/s. This is compatible with the coronal assumptions for a sub-Alfv{\´e}nic star- planet interaction origin of the observed radio signals from this star. In chapter 6, we aim to characterise the high-energy environment of known ex- oplanets and estimate their mass-loss rates. This work is based on the soft X-ray instrument on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) mission, eROSITA, along with archival data from ROSAT, XMM-Newton, and Chandra. We use these four X-ray source catalogues to derive X-ray luminosities of exoplanet host stars in the 0.2-2 keV energy band. A catalogue of the mass-loss rates of 287 exoplan- ets is presented, with 96 of these planets characterised for the first time using new eROSITA detections. Of these first time detections, 14 are of transiting exoplanets that undergo irradiation from their host stars that is of a level known to cause ob- servable evaporation signals in other systems, making them suitable for follow-up observations. In the next generation of space observatories, X-ray transmission spectroscopy of an exoplanet's atmosphere will be possible, allowing for a detailed look into the atmospheric composition of these planets. In chapter 7, we model sample spectra using a toy model of an exoplanetary atmosphere to predict what exoplanet transit observations with future X-ray missions such as Athena will look like. We then estimate the observable X-ray transmission spectrum for a typical Hot Jupiter-type exoplanet, giving us insights into the advances in X-ray observations of exoplanets in the decades to come.}, language = {en} } @article{ReicheBarberkaJanietzetal.1994, author = {Reiche, J{\"u}rgen and Barberka, Thomas Andreas and Janietz, Dietmar and Hofmann, Dieter and Pietsch, Ullrich and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {X-ray structure investigation and computer modelling of Langmuir-Blodgett films formed from disc-shaped pentaalkines}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{MiedemaMitznerGanschowetal.2017, author = {Miedema, P.

Here we report on X-ray observations of V1298 Tau, a young star with four transiting exoplanets. We use X-ray observations of the host star with Chandra and ROSAT to measure the current high-energy irradiation level of the planets and employ a model for the stellar activity evolution together with exoplanetary mass-loss to estimate the possible evolution of the planets. We find that V1298 Tau is X-ray bright with log L-X [erg s(-1)] = 30.1 and has a mean coronal temperature of approximate to 9 MK. This places the star amongst the more X-ray luminous ones at this stellar age. We estimate the radiation-driven mass-loss of the exoplanets and find that it depends sensitively on the possible evolutionary spin-down tracks of the star as well as on the current planetary densities. Assuming the planets are of low density due to their youth, we find that the innermost two planets can lose significant parts of their gaseous envelopes and could be evaporated down to their rocky cores depending on the stellar spin evolution. However, if the planets are heavier and follow the mass-radius relation of older planets, then even in the highest XUV irradiation scenario none of the planets is expected to cross the radius gap into the rocky regime until the system reaches an age of 5 Gyr.}, language = {en} } @article{GeueSchultzGrenzeretal.2000, author = {Geue, Thomas and Schultz, Michael and Grenzer, J{\"o}rg and Natansohn, Almeria and Rochon, Paul}, title = {X-ray investigations of the molecular mobility with polymer surface gratings}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{PietschGeueHennebergetal.2003, author = {Pietsch, Ullrich and Geue, Thomas and Henneberg, Oliver and Saphiannikova, Marina}, title = {X-ray investigations of formation efficiency of buried azobenzene polymer density gratings}, doi = {10.1063/1.1554753}, year = {2003}, language = {en} }
