Clumpy Dust Tori in Active Galactic Nuclei
(2008)
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are amongst the most luminous objects in the universe. The source of their activity is accretion onto a supermassive black hole in the center of the galactic nucleus. The various phenomena ...
Proper Motions in the Local Group
(2004)
In this thesis, the proper motions of two Local Group galaxies, namely M33 and IC10. The proper motions were measured by phase-referencing Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of water vapour masers in the ...
Investigations of Intraday Variable Blazar Cores and the Connected Interstellar Medium
(2006)
The work presented here is an attempt to shed further light upon the phenomenon of short-term radio variations (Intraday Variability, IDV) often observed in compact blazar cores. Three different new observational approaches ...
Simultaneous multichannel photometry with BUSCA
(2004)
This thesis deals with the multicolour simultaneous camera BUSCA (Bonn University Simultaneous CAmera), which was build at the Sternwarte of the University of Bonn for the the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory ...
Dark matter halos of galaxies studied with weak gravitational lensing
(2003)
The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the dark matter halos of galaxies. Current theories of galaxy formation predict that galaxies are embedded in large dark matter halos with much larger extents than the visible ...
