Workshop Astronomie am Fallturm

ZARM - Raum 1730; Am Fallturm, 28359 Bremen

"Astronomie am Fallturm" aims to give an insight into space science and space technologies for Bachelor- and Master's students and is open to the public. To strenghen comprehensibility, the talks are chaired and the audience has the possibility to discuss the topic without professors before asking questions about the talk. Workshop language is German.

Programm:
14:00-14:30 Vorbesprechung der Vorträge mit
Dr. Farid Gamgami (OHB System AG, Bremen) 
und Dr. Marco Scharringhausen (DLR Bremen)

14:30-15:30 Prof. Dr. Jürgen Schmitt
(Hamburg Observatory, University Hamburg):
"Warum und zu welchem Ende studieren wir die Aktivität von Sonne und Sternen?"
Abstract: Eine weitgefächerte Phänomenologie beschreibt die Aktivitätseigenschaften der Sonne, die sich über das gesamte elektromagnetische Spektrum vom Radiobereich bis hin in den Gamma-Bereich nachweisen lassen.  Alle Aktivitätsindikatoren variieren im  11-Jahresrhythmus des Sonnenfleckenzyklus und legen einen letztendlich magnetischen Ursprung nahe. Als Ursache der magnetischen Aktivität der Sonne wird ein magnetischer  Dynamo angenommen, der tief im Sonneninnern neues Magnetfeld erzeugt, das durch magnetischen Auftrieb an die Oberfläche gelangt und dort beobachtbar wird.  Es stellt sich die offensichtliche Frage, inwieweit ähnliche Prozesse auf anderen Sternen stattfinden, inwieweit die Sonne ein typisches Verhalten aufweist, und welche Stellarparameter die Stärke der beobachteten Stellaraktivität kontrollieren.
Im Vortrag werden die verschiedenen zum Studium stellarer Aktivität verwendeten Methoden diskutiert und die zentralen Ergebnisse und Erkenntnisse der letzten Dekaden u.a. im Hinblick auf extrasolare Planeten vorgestellt.

15:30-15:50 Diskussion unter den Studierenden
15:50-16:20 Fragerunde
16:20-16:30 Pause

Anmoderation des zweiten Vortrags
Dr. Farid Gamgami (OHB Systems AG, Bremen) 

16:30-17:30 Prof. Dr. Wolfgang J. Duschl
(Universität Kiel):
"Wie die Schwarzen Löcher ins Universum kamen"
17:30-17:50 Diskussion unter den Studierenden
17:50-18:20 Fragerunde
