T1  - Searches for gamma-ray lines and 'pure WIMP' spectra from Dark Matter annihilations in dwarf galaxies with H.E.S.S.
JF  - Journal of cosmology and astroparticle physics
N2  - Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most promising targets for detecting signals of Dark Matter (DM) annihilations. The H.E.S.S. experiment has observed five of these systems for a total of about 130 hours. The data are re-analyzed here, and, in the absence of any detected signals, are interpreted in terms of limits on the DM annihilation cross section. Two scenarios are considered: i) DM annihilation into mono-energetic gamma-rays and ii) DM in the form of pure WIMP multiplets that, annihilating into all electroweak bosons, produce a distinctive gamma-ray spectral shape with a high-energy peak at the DM mass and a lower-energy continuum. For case i), upper limits at 95% confidence level of about <sigma upsilon > less than or similar to 3 x 10(-25) cm(3) s(-1) are obtained in the mass range of 400 GeV to 1TeV. For case ii), the full spectral shape of the models is used and several excluded regions are identified, but the thermal masses of the candidates are not robustly ruled out.

T1  - Constraints on an Annihilation Signal from a Core of Constant Dark Matter Density around the Milky Way Center with HESS
JF  - Physical review letters
N2  - An annihilation signal of dark matter is searched for from the central region of the Milky Way. Data acquired in dedicated on-off observations of the Galactic center region with H.E.S.S. are analyzed for this purpose. No significant signal is found in a total of similar to 9 h of on-off observations. Upper limits on the velocity averaged cross section, <sigma upsilon >, for the annihilation of dark matter particles with masses in the range of similar to 300 GeV to similar to 10 TeV are derived. In contrast to previous constraints derived from observations of the Galactic center region, the constraints that are derived here apply also under the assumption of a central core of constant dark matter density around the center of the Galaxy. Values of <sigma upsilon > that are larger than 3 x 10(-24) cm(3)/s are excluded for dark matter particles with masses between similar to 1 and similar to 4 TeV at 95% C.L. if the radius of the central dark matter density core does not exceed 500 pc. This is the strongest constraint that is derived on <sigma upsilon > for annihilating TeV mass dark matter without the assumption of a centrally cusped dark matter density distribution in the search region.

T1  - The exceptionally powerful TeV gamma-ray emitters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
JF  - Science
N2  - The Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, has been observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) above an energy of 100 billion electron volts for a deep exposure of 210 hours. Three sources of different types were detected: the pulsar wind nebula of the most energetic pulsar known, N 157B; the radio-loud supernova remnant N 132D; and the largest nonthermal x-ray shell, the superbubble 30 Dor C. The unique object SN 1987A is, unexpectedly, not detected, which constrains the theoretical framework of particle acceleration in very young supernova remnants. These detections reveal the most energetic tip of a g-ray source population in an external galaxy and provide via 30 Dor C the unambiguous detection of g-ray emission from a superbubble.

T1  - Discovery of variable VHE gamma-ray emission from the binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856
JF  - Astronomy and astrophysics : an international weekly journal
N2  - Re-observations with the HESS telescope array of the very high-energy (VHE) source HESS J1018-589A that is coincident with the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6-5856 have resulted in a source detection significance of more than 9 sigma and the detection of variability (chi(2)/nu of 238.3/155) in the emitted gamma-ray flux. This variability confirms the association of HESS J1018-589A with the high-energy gamma-ray binary detected Fermi-LAT and also confirms the point-like source as a new VHE binary system. The spectrum of HESS J1018-589A is best fit with a power-law function with photon index Gamma = 2.20 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.2(sys). Emission is detected up to similar to 20 TeV. The mean differential flux level is (2.9 +/- 0.4) x 10(-13) TeV-1 cm(-2) s(-1) at 1 TeV, equivalent to similar to 1% of the flux from the Crab Nebula at the same energy. Variability is clearly detected the night-by-night light curve. When folded on the orbital period of 16.58 days, the rebinned light curve peaks in phase with the observed X-ray high-energy phaseograms. The fit of the HESS phaseogram to a constant flux provides evidence of periodicity at the level of N-sigma > 3 sigma. The of the VHE phaseogram and measured spectrum suggest a low-inclination, low-eccentricity system with a modest impact from VHE gamma-ray due to pair production (tau less than or similar to 1 at 300 GeV).

T1  - HESS J1818-154, a new composite supernova remnant discovered in TeV gamma rays and X-rays
JF  - Astronomy and astrophysics : an international weekly journal
N2  - Composite supernova remnants (SNRs) constitute a small subclass of the remnants of massive stellar explosions where non-thermal radiation is observed from both the expanding shell-like shock front and from a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) located inside of the SNR. These systems represent a unique evolutionary phase of SNRs where observations in the radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray regimes allow the study of the co-evolution of both these energetic phenomena. In this article, we report results from observations of the shell-type SNR G15.4+0.1 performed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H. E. S. S.) and XMM-Newton. A compact TeV gamma-ray source, HESS J1818-154, located in the center and contained within the shell of G15.4+0.1 is detected by H. E. S. S. and featurs a spectrum best represented by a power-law model with a spectral index of -2.3 +/- 0.3(stat) +/- 0.2(sys) and an integral flux of F(>0.42 TeV) = (0.9 +/- 0.3(stat) +/- 0.2(sys)) x 10(-12) cm(-2) s(-1). Furthermore, a recent observation with XMM-Newton reveals extended X-ray emission strongly peaked in the center of G15.4+0.1. The X-ray source shows indications of an energy-dependent morphology featuring a compact core at energies above 4 keV and more extended emission that fills the entire region within the SNR at lower energies. Together, the X-ray and VHE gamma-ray emission provide strong evidence of a PWN located inside the shell of G15.4+0.1 and this SNR can therefore be classified as a composite based on these observations. The radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray emission from the PWN is compatible with a one-zone leptonic model that requires a low average magnetic field inside the emission region. An unambiguous counterpart to the putative pulsar, which is thought to power the PWN, has been detected neither in radio nor in X-ray observations of G15.4+0.1.

T1  - HESS observations of the binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 around the 2010/2011 periastron passage
JF  - Astronomy and astrophysics : an international weekly journal
N2  - Aims. We present very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) data from the gamma-ray binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 taken around its periastron passage on 15th of December 2010 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H. E. S. S.) of Cherenkov Telescopes. We aim to search for a possible TeV counterpart of the GeV flare detected by the Fermi LAT. In addition, we aim to study the current periastron passage in the context of previous observations taken at similar orbital phases, testing the repetitive behaviour of the source.
 Methods. Observations at VHEs were conducted with H.E.S.S. from 9th to 16th of January 2011. The total dataset amounts to similar to 6 h of observing time. The data taken around the 2004 periastron passage were also re-analysed with the current analysis techniques in order to extend the energy spectrum above 3 TeV to fully compare observation results from 2004 and 2011.
 Results. The source is detected in the 2011 data at a significance level of 11.5 sigma revealing an averaged integral flux above 1 TeV of (1.01 +/- 0.18(stat) +/- 0.20(sys)) x 10(-12) cm(-2) s(-1). The differential energy spectrum follows a power-law shape with a spectral index Gamma = 2.92 +/- 0.30(stat) +/- 0.20(sys) and a flux normalisation at 1 TeV of N-0 = (1.95 +/- 0.32(stat) +/- 0.39(sys)) x 10(-12) TeV-1 cm(-2) s(-1). The measured light curve does not show any evidence for variability of the source on the daily scale. The re-analysis of the 2004 data yields results compatible with the published ones. The differential energy spectrum measured up to similar to 10 TeV is consistent with a power law with a spectral index Gamma = 2.81 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.20(sys) and a flux normalisation at 1 TeV of N-0 = (1.29 +/- 0.08(stat) +/- 0.26(sys)) x 10(-12) TeV-1 cm(-2) s(-1).
 Conclusions. The measured integral flux and the spectral shape of the 2011 data are compatible with the results obtained around previous periastron passages. The absence of variability in the H.E.S.S. data indicates that the GeV flare observed by Fermi LAT in the time period covered also by H.E.S.S. observations originates in a different physical scenario than the TeV emission. Moreover, the comparison of the new results to the results from the 2004 observations made at a similar orbital phase provides a stronger evidence of the repetitive behaviour of the source.

T1  - Search for extended gamma-ray emission around AGN with HESS and Fermi-LAT
JF  - Astronomy and astrophysics : an international weekly journal
N2  - Context. Very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from blazars inevitably gives rise to electron-positron pair production through the interaction of these gamma-rays with the extragalactic background light (EBL). Depending on the magnetic fields in the proximity of the source, the cascade initiated from pair production can result in either an isotropic halo around an initially- beamed source or a magnetically- broadened cascade :aux.
 Aims. Both extended pair-halo (PH) and magnetically broadened cascade (MBC) emission from regions surrounding the blazars 1ES 1101-232, IRS 0229+200, and PKS 2155-304 were searched for using VHE y-ray data taken with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS.) and high-energy (HE; 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) gamma-ray data with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT).
 Methods. By comparing the angular distributions of the reconstructed gamma-ray events to the angular profiles calculated from detailed theoretical models, the presence of PH and MBC was investigated.
 Results. Upper limits on the extended emission around lES 1101-232, lES 0229+200, and PKS 2155-304 are found to be at a level of a few per cent of the Crab nebula flux above 1 TeV, depending on the assumed photon index of the cascade emission. Assuming strong extra-Galactic magnetic field (EGME) values, >10(-12) G, this limits the production of pair haloes developing from electromagnetic cascades. For weaker magnetic fields, in which electromagnetic cascades would result in MBCs. EGMF strengths in the range (0.3-3) x 10(-15) G were excluded for PKS 2155-304 at the 99% confidence level, under the assumption of a 1 Mpc coherence length.

T1  - The 2012 flare of PG 1553+113 seen with hess and Fermi-lat
JF  - The astrophysical journal : an international review of spectroscopy and astronomical physics
N2  - Very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV)gamma-ray flaring activity of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object PG 1553 + 113 has been detected by the H.E.S.S. telescopes. The flux of the source increased by a factor of 3 during the nights of 2012 April 26 and 27 with respect to the archival measurements with a hint of intra-night variability. No counterpart of this event has been detected in the Fermi-Large Area Telescope data. This pattern is consistent with VHE gamma(-)ray flaring being caused by the injection of ultrarelativistic particles, emitting.-rays at the highest energies. The dataset offers a unique opportunity to constrain the redshift of this source at z = 0.49 +/- 0.04 using a novel method based on Bayesian statistics. The indication of intra-night variability is used to introduce a novel method to probe for a possible Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), and to set limits on the energy scale at which Quantum Gravity (QG) effects causing LIV may arise. For the subluminal case, the derived limits are E-QG,E- 1 > 4.10 x 10(17) GeV and E-QG,E- 2 > 2.10 x 10(10) GeV for linear and quadratic LIV effects, respectively.

T1  - HESS and Fermi-LAT discovery of gamma-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312-423
JF  - Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
N2  - A deep observation campaign carried out by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) on Centaurus A enabled the discovery of gamma-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312-423, 2 degrees away from the radio galaxy. With a differential flux at 1 TeV of phi(1 TeV) = (1.9 +/- 0.6(stat) +/- 0.4(sys)) x 10(-13) cm(-2) s(-1) TeV-1 corresponding to 0.5 per cent of the Crab nebula differential flux and a spectral index Gamma = 2.9 +/- 0.5(stat) +/- 0.2(sys), 1ES 1312-423 is one of the faintest sources ever detected in the very high energy (E > 100 GeV) extragalactic sky. A careful analysis using three and a half years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) data allows the discovery at high energies (E > 100 MeV) of a hard spectrum (Gamma = 1.4 +/- 0.4(stat) +/- 0.2(sys)) source coincident with 1ES 1312-423. Radio, optical, UV and X-ray observations complete the spectral energy distribution of this blazar, now covering 16 decades in energy. The emission is successfully fitted with a synchrotron self-Compton model for the non-thermal component, combined with a blackbody spectrum for the optical emission from the host galaxy.

T1  - Search for TeV Gamma-ray emission from GRB 100621A, an extremely bright GRB in X-rays, with HESS
JF  - Astronomy and astrophysics : an international weekly journal
N2  - The long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 100621A, at the time the brightest X-ray transient ever detected by Swift-XRT in the 0.3-10 keV range, has been observed with the H.E.S.S. imaging air Cherenkov telescope array, sensitive to gamma radiation in the very-high-energy (VHE, >100 GeV) regime. Due to its relatively small redshift of z similar to 0.5, the favourable position in the southern sky and the relatively short follow-up time (<700 s after the satellite trigger) of the H.E.S.S. observations, this GRB could be within the sensitivity reach of the HESS. instrument. The analysis of the HESS. data shows no indication of emission and yields an integral flux upper limit above similar to 380 GeV of 4.2 x 10(-12) cm(-2) s(-1) s (95% confidence level), assuming a simple Band function extension model. A comparison to a spectral-temporal model, normalised to the prompt flux at sub-MeV energies, constraints the existence of a temporally extended and strong additional hard power law, as has been observed in the other bright X-ray GRB 130427A. A comparison between the HESS. upper limit and the contemporaneous energy output in X-rays constrains the ratio between the X-ray and VHE gamma-ray fluxes to be greater than 0.4. This value is an important quantity for modelling the afterglow and can constrain leptonic emission scenarios, where leptons are responsible for the X-ray emission and might produce VHE gamma rays.

T1  - Spectroscopic analysis of the benchmark system Alpha Aurigae
T1  - Spektroskopische Analysen des Vergleichssystems alpha Aurigae
N2  - Binaries play an important role in observational and theoretical astrophysics. Since the mass and the chemical composition are key ingredients for stellar evolution, high-resolution spectroscopy is an important and necessary tool to derive those parameters to high confidence in binaries. This involves carefully measured orbital motion by the determination of radial velocity (RV) shifts and sophisticated techniques to derive the abundances of elements within the stellar atmosphere.

A technique superior to conventional cross-correlation methods to determine RV shifts in known as spectral disentangling. Hence, a major task of this thesis was the design of a sophisticated software package for this approach. In order to investigate secondary effects, such as flux and line-profile variations, imprinting changes on the spectrum the behavior of spectral disentangling on such variability is a key to understand the derived values, to improve them, and to get information about the variability itself. Therefore, the spectral disentangling code presented in this thesis and available to the community combines multiple advantages: separation of the spectra for detailed chemical analysis, derivation of orbital elements, derivation of individual RVs in order to investigate distorted systems (either by third body interaction or relativistic effects), the suppression of telluric contaminations, the derivation of variability, and the possibility to apply the technique to eclipsing binaries (important for orbital inclination) or in general to systems that undergo flux-variations.

This code in combination with the spectral synthesis codes MOOG and SME was used in order to derive the carbon 12C/13C isotope ratio (CIR) of the benchmark binary Capella. The observational result will be set into context with theoretical evolution by the use of MESA models and resolves the discrepancy of theory and observations existing since the first measurement of Capella's CIR in 1976.

The spectral disentangling code has been made available to the community and its applicability to completely different behaving systems, Wolf-Rayet stars, have also been investigated and resulted in a published article.

Additionally, since this technique relies strongly on data quality, continues development of scientific instruments to achieve best observational data is of great importance in observational astrophysics. That is the reason why there has also been effort in astronomical instrumentation during the work on this thesis.
N2  - Doppelsterne spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der beobachtenden und theoretischen Astrophysik. Die Massen und die chemische Zusammensetzung der Sterne sind dabei ausschlaggebende Parameter. Die wichtige und notwendige Methode um diese zu bestimmen ist hochaufgelöste Spektroskopie. Dies beinhaltet eine penible Bestimmung der orbitalen Bewegung durch die Vermessung von Radialgeschwindigkeitsverschiebungen (RV) und fortgeschrittene Techniken zur Bestimmung der Häufigkeiten der in der Sternatmosphäre vorhandenen Elemente.

Gegenüber der konventionellen Kreuzkorrelation zur Bestimmung der RV-Verschiebungen, gilt die Methode des sogenannten 'spectral disentanglings' als überlegen. Daher bestand ein Großteil der vorliegenden Arbeit darin, eine solche Methode in einem weiterentwickelten Softwarepacket zu realisieren. Um sekundäre Effekte zu verstehen, welche zu weiteren Änderungen im Spektrum führen, also insbesondere solche wie Fluss- und Linienprofilvariationen, ist es von zentraler Bedeutung das Verhalten des spectral disentangling durch solche Variabilitäten zu verstehen, sodass die ermittelten Größen besser interpretiert und verbessert, sowie Informationen über die Variabilität selbst abgeleitet werden können. Daher vereint der in dieser Arbeit vorgestellte und der Allgemeinheit offen stehende Algorithmus für das spectral disentangling mehrere Vorteile: Separation der Spektren für detaillierte chemische Analysen, Ableitung der orbitalen Bahnelemente, Ableitung der einzelnen RV-Verschiebungen um auch gestörte Systeme (z.B. durch einen dritten Körper oder relativistische Effekte) analysieren zu können, die Reduktion des Einflusses tellurischer Kontamination, Ableitung der Variabilität und die Möglichkeit der Anwendung auf Bedeckungsveränderliche (wichtig zur Bestimmung der Inklination) bzw. allgemeiner auf Systeme mit Flussvariationen.

Der vorgestellte Algorithmus wurde zusammen mit MOOG und SME zur Erzeugung synthetischer Spektren verwendet um das Kohlenstoff-12C/13C Isotopen-Verhältnis (KIV) des Referenzsystems Capella zu bestimmen. Dieses Ergebnis aus Beobachtungen wird in Kontext zur theoretischen Entwicklung durch Verwendung von MESA Modellen gesetzt und löst die Unstimmigkeit zwischen Beobachtung und Theorie die bereits seit der ersten Messung des KIV von Kapella von 1976 existiert.

Der Algorithmus für das spectral disentangling ist der Allgemeinheit zugänglich gemacht und wurde auf vollkommen anders verhaltende Objekte, den Wolf-Rayet-Sternen, angewendet, was in einer publizierten Arbeit resultierte.

Da die Methode stark von der Qualität der Beobachtungsdaten abhängt, ist eine kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Messtechnik der beobachtenden Astrophysik sehr wichtig um die bestmöglichsten Beobachtungsdaten gewinnen zu können. Daher wurden auch große Anstrengungen in der astronomischen Instrumentierung während dieser Arbeit unternommen.

T2  - Zweitveröffentlichungen der Universität Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe
N2  - The conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific site in an electronically excited molecule using time-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (TR-XPS). We extend the concept of static chemical shift from conventional XPS by the excited-state chemical shift (ESCS), which is connected to the charge in the framework of a potential model. This allows us to invert TR-XPS spectra to the dynamic charge at a specific atom. We demonstrate the power of TR-XPS by using sulphur 2p-core-electron-emission probing to study the UV-excited dynamics of 2-thiouracil. The method allows us to discover that a major part of the population relaxes to the molecular ground state within 220–250 fs. In addition, a 250-fs oscillation, visible in the kinetic energy of the TR-XPS, reveals a coherent exchange of population among electronic states.

T1  - Towards seasonal prediction: stratosphere-troposphere coupling in the atmospheric model ICON-NWP
N2  - Stratospheric variability is one of the main potential sources for sub-seasonal to seasonal predictability in mid-latitudes in winter. Stratospheric pathways play an important role for long-range teleconnections between tropical phenomena, such as the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the mid-latitudes on the one hand, and linkages between Arctic climate change and the mid-latitudes on the other hand. In order to move forward in the field of extratropical seasonal predictions, it is essential that an atmospheric model is able to realistically simulate the stratospheric circulation and variability. The numerical weather prediction (NWP) configuration of the ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic atmosphere model ICON is currently being used by the German Meteorological Service for the regular weather forecast, and is intended to produce seasonal predictions in future. This thesis represents the first extensive evaluation of Northern Hemisphere stratospheric winter circulation in ICON-NWP by analysing a large set of seasonal ensemble experiments.


An ICON control climatology simulated with a default setup is able to reproduce the basic behaviour of the stratospheric polar vortex. However, stratospheric westerlies are significantly too weak and major stratospheric warmings too frequent, especially in January. The weak stratospheric polar vortex in ICON is furthermore connected to a mean sea level pressure (MSLP) bias pattern resembling the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation (AO). Since a good representation of the drag exerted by gravity waves is crucial for a realistic simulation of the stratosphere, three sensitivity experiments with reduced gravity wave drag are performed. Both a reduction of the non-orographic and orographic gravity wave drag respectively, lead to a strengthening of the stratospheric vortex and thus a bias reduction in winter, in particular in January. However, the effect of the non-orographic gravity wave drag on the stratosphere is stronger. A third experiment, combining a reduced orographic and non-orographic drag, exhibits the largest stratospheric bias reductions. The analysis of stratosphere-troposphere coupling based on an index of the Northern Annular Mode demonstrates that ICON realistically represents downward coupling. This coupling is intensified and more realistic in experiments with a reduced gravity wave drag, in particular with reduced non-orographic drag. Tropospheric circulation is also affected by the reduced gravity wave drag, especially in January, when the strongly improved stratospheric circulation reduces biases in the MSLP patterns. Moreover, a retuning of the subgrid-scale orography parameterisations leads to a significant error reduction in the MSLP in all months. In conclusion, the combination of these adjusted parameterisations is recommended as a current optimal setup for seasonal simulations with ICON. 

Additionally, this thesis discusses further possible influences on the stratospheric polar vortex, including the influence of tropical phenomena, such as QBO and ENSO, as well as the influence of a rapidly warming Arctic. ICON does not simulate the quasi-oscillatory behaviour of the QBO and favours weak easterlies in the tropical stratosphere. A comparison with a reanalysis composite of the easterly QBO phase reveals, that the shift towards the easterly QBO in ICON further weakens the stratospheric polar vortex. On the other hand, the stratospheric reaction to ENSO events in ICON is realistic. ICON and the reanalysis exhibit a weakened stratospheric vortex in warm ENSO years. Furthermore, in particular in winter, warm ENSO events favour the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation, whereas cold events favour the positive phase. The ICON simulations also suggest a significant effect of ENSO on the Atlantic-European sector in late winter. To investigate the influence of Arctic climate change on mid-latitude circulation changes, two differing approaches with transient and fixed sea ice conditions are chosen. Neither ICON approach exhibits the mid-latitude tropospheric negative Arctic Oscillation circulation response to amplified Arctic warming, as it is discussed on the basis of observational evidence. Nevertheless, adding a new model to the current and active discussion on Arctic-midlatitude linkages, further contributes to the understanding of divergent conclusions between model and observational studies.
N2  - Die stratosphärische Variabilität ist eine der wichtigsten potentiellen Quellen für die Vorhersagbarkeit der atmosphärischen Zirkulation in den mittleren Breiten im Winter auf der Zeitskala von Wochen bis zu Jahreszeiten.  Stratosphärische Prozesse spielen eine grundlegende Rolle für die Fernverbindungen (Telekonnektionen) zwischen tropischen Klimaphänomenen, wie der quasi-zweijährigen Schwingung (QBO) oder „El Niño-Südliche Oszillation“ (ENSO), und den mittleren Breiten, sowie den Telekonnektionen zwischen arktischen Klimaänderungen und der atmosphärischen Zirkulation in den mittleren Breiten. Die Fähigkeit eines atmosphärischen Modells, die stratosphärische Zirkulation und deren Variabilität realistisch zu simulieren, ist deshalb von grundlegender Bedeutung, um die Jahreszeitenvorhersage in den mittleren Breiten deutlich zu verbessern. Das nichthydrostatische Atmosphärenmodell ICON (ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic atmosphere model) wird gegenwärtig beim Deutschen Wetterdienst (DWD) in der numerischen Wettervorhersagekonfiguration (ICON-NWP) für die Wettervorhersage genutzt, und soll zukünftig auch für Jahreszeitenvorhersagen benutzt werden. Darauf basierend, präsentiert die vorliegende Arbeit eine Vielzahl von saisonalen Ensembleexperimenten mit ICON-NWP und liefert damit die erste umfassende Bewertung der stratosphärischen Winterzirkulation der nördlichen Hemisphäre in ICON-NWP.

Die Klimatologie eines ICON-Modelllaufs im Standardsetup reproduziert die grundlegenden Eigenschaften des stratosphärischen Polarwirbels. Allerdings sind die stratosphärischen Westwinde deutlich schwächer als in den Beobachtungen, und starke Stratosphärenerwärmungen treten insbesondere im Januar zu häufig auf. Zudem ist der schwache stratosphärische Polarwirbel in ICON mit einem typischen Fehler-Muster des Bodenluftdrucks verknüpft, welches der negativen Phase der Arktischen Oszillation (AO) ähnelt. Da eine gute Darstellung des von Schwerewellen ausgeübten Widerstands für eine realistische Simulation der Stratosphäre entscheidend ist, werden drei Sensitivitätsexperimente mit reduziertem Schwerewellenwiderstand durchgeführt. Sowohl eine Verringerung des nicht-orographischen, als auch eine Verringerung des orographischen Schwerewellenwiderstands führen jeweils zu einer Verstärkung des stratosphärischen Wirbels und damit zu einer Verringerung des Fehlers im Winter, insbesondere im Januar. Die Wirkung des nicht-orographischen Schwerewellenwiderstands auf die Stratosphäre ist hierbei jedoch stärker. Ein drittes Experiment, welches den reduzierten orographischen und nicht-orographischen Widerstand kombiniert, zeigt die größten Verbesserungen in der Stratosphäre. Die auf dem Index des „Northern Annular Mode“ basierende Analyse der Stratosphären-Troposphären-Kopplung zeigt, dass ICON die nach unten gerichtete Kopplung zwischen der Stratosphäre und Troposphäre realistisch darstellt. Diese Kopplung wird in Experimenten mit einem reduzierten Schwerewellenwiderstand verstärkt und realistischer dargestellt, dies gilt insbesondere für den reduzierten nicht-orographischen Widerstand. Auch die troposphärische Zirkulation wird durch den reduzierten Schwerewellenwiderstand beeinflusst, vor allem im Januar, wenn die stark verbesserte stratosphärische Zirkulation den Fehler in den Bodenluftdruckfeldern reduziert. Darüber hinaus führt ein Tuning der Parameterisierung der subgrid-skaligen orographischen Schwerewellen zu einer signifikanten Fehlerreduktion des Bodenluftdrucks in allen Monaten. Die Kombination all dieser angepassten Parametrisierungen wird als derzeit optimales Setup für Jahreszeiten-Simulationen mit ICON vorgeschlagen. 

Darüber hinaus werden in dieser Arbeit weitere mögliche Einflussfaktoren auf den stratosphärischen Polarwirbel diskutiert, darunter der Einfluss tropischer Phänomene, wie QBO und ENSO, sowie der Einfluss einer sich rasch erwärmenden Arktis. Das quasi-oszillierende Verhalten der QBO wird durch ICON nicht simuliert, sodass schwache Ostwinde in der tropischen Stratosphäre dominieren. Ein Vergleich mit einem Reanalyse-Komposit der östlichen QBO-Phase zeigt, dass die Verschiebung in Richtung der östlichen QBO in ICON den stratosphärischen Polarwirbel weiter abschwächt. Die stratosphärische Reaktion auf ENSO-Ereignisse in ICON ist jedoch realistisch. ICON und Reanalysedaten zeigen einen abgeschwächten Stratosphärenwirbel in warmen ENSO-Jahren. Darüber hinaus begünstigen insbesondere im Winter warme ENSO-Ereignisse die negative Phase der Arktischen Oszillation, während kalte Ereignisse die positive Phase begünstigen. Die ICON-Simulationen deuten auch auf einen signifikanten Effekt von ENSO auf den atlantisch-europäischen Sektor im Spätwinter hin. Um den Einfluss des arktischen Klimawandels auf Änderungen der Zirkulation in mittleren Breiten zu untersuchen, werden zwei unterschiedliche Ansätze mit transienten und festen Meereisgrenzen gewählt. Keiner der beiden ICON-Ansätze zeigt eine Tendenz zur negativen Phase der Arktische Oszillation als Reaktion auf die verstärkte Erwärmung der Arktis, wie sie in der Literatur anhand von Beobachtungsdaten häufig diskutiert wird. Jedoch wird somit der aktuellen und aktiven Diskussion zu den Auswirkungen des arktischen Klimawandels auf die Zirkulation der mittleren Breiten ein neues Modell hinzugefügt.

BT  - unraveling the impact of changing sea ice and sea surface temperatures during Winter
JF  - Meteorologische Zeitschrift
N2  - The study addresses the question, if observed changes in terms of Arctic-midlatitude linkages during winter are driven by Arctic Sea ice decline alone or if the increase of global sea surface temperatures plays an additional role. We compare atmosphere-only model experiments with ECHAM6 to ERA-Interim Reanalysis data. The model sensitivity experiment is implemented as a set of four combinations of sea ice and sea surface temperature boundary conditions. Atmospheric circulation regimes are determined and evaluated in terms of their cyclone and blocking characteristics and changes in frequency during winter. As a prerequisite, ECHAM6 reproduces general features of circulation regimes very well. Tropospheric changes induced by the change of boundary conditions are revealed and further impacts on the large-scale circulation up into the stratosphere are investigated. In early winter, the observed increase of atmospheric blocking in the region between Scandinavia and the Urals are primarily related to the changes in sea surface temperatures. During late winter, we f nd a weakened polar stratospheric vortex in the reanalysis that further impacts the troposphere. In the model sensitivity study a climatologically weakened polar vortex occurs only if sea ice is reduced and sea surface temperatures are increased together. This response is delayed compared to the reanalysis. The tropospheric response during late winter is inconclusive in the model, which is potentially related to the weak and delayed response in the stratosphere. The model experiments do not reproduce the connection between early and late winter as interpreted from the reanalysis. Potentially explaining this mismatch, we identify a discrepancy of ECHAM6 to reproduce the weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex through blocking induced upward propagation of planetary waves.

T1  - Discovery of a Double-detonation Thermonuclear Supernova Progenitor
JF  - The astrophysical journal : an international review of spectroscopy and astronomical physics ; Part 2, Letters
N2  - We present the discovery of a new double-detonation progenitor system consisting of a hot subdwarf B (sdB) binary with a white dwarf companion with a P (orb) = 76.34179(2) minutes orbital period. Spectroscopic observations are consistent with an sdB star during helium core burning residing on the extreme horizontal branch. Chimera light curves are dominated by ellipsoidal deformation of the sdB star and a weak eclipse of the companion white dwarf. Combining spectroscopic and light curve fits, we find a low-mass sdB star, M (sdB) = 0.383 +/- 0.028 M (circle dot) with a massive white dwarf companion, M (WD) = 0.725 +/- 0.026 M (circle dot). From the eclipses we find a blackbody temperature for the white dwarf of 26,800 K resulting in a cooling age of approximate to 25 Myr whereas our MESA model predicts an sdB age of approximate to 170 Myr. We conclude that the sdB formed first through stable mass transfer followed by a common envelope which led to the formation of the white dwarf companion approximate to 25 Myr ago. Using the MESA stellar evolutionary code we find that the sdB star will start mass transfer in approximate to 6 Myr and in approximate to 60 Myr the white dwarf will reach a total mass of 0.92 M (circle dot) with a thick helium layer of 0.17 M (circle dot). This will lead to a detonation that will likely destroy the white dwarf in a peculiar thermonuclear supernova. PTF1 J2238+7430 is only the second confirmed candidate for a double-detonation thermonuclear supernova. Using both systems we estimate that at least approximate to 1% of white dwarf thermonuclear supernovae originate from sdB+WD binaries with thick helium layers, consistent with the small number of observed peculiar thermonuclear explosions.
