Basics of Plasma Physics
Basic properties of plasmas are introduced, which are valid for an extremely wide range of plasma parameters. Plasmas are classified by different... -
Strongly Coupled Plasmas
We give a brief introduction into the basic many-particle effectes in strongly coupled plasmas and their theoretical treatment. Exemplary results are... -
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the... -
Observation of Plasma Fluctuations
The diagnostics of fluctuating plasma quantities and their evaluation is an important issue in the context of plasma waves, instabilities, and... -
Low Temperature Plasmas
Characteristic properties and generation mechanisms of low temperature plasmas in different gas discharges are presented. A special part is focussed... -
Simulations of Solar AO Systems
In this paper, first we compare the two kinds of algorithms that are being used in solar AO systems to sense a distorted wave-front through... -
Search for Sub-Stellar Companions Using AO – First Results Obtained with NAOS-CONICA
We present first results of our NAOS-CONICA search for close substellar companions around young nearby stars. This program was started only a few... -
Near-Infrared AO Spectroscopy of Edge-On Protoplanetary Disks with Subaru IRCS
We carried out near infrared (1.4–4.2 μm) AO imaging and spectroscopy of two edge-on protoplanetary disks; HK TauB and HV TauC located in Taurus... -
A Search for Close Companions in Sco OB2
Using adaptive optics we study the binary population in the nearby OB association Scorpius OB2. We present the first results of our near-infrared... -
Adaptive Optics Observations of Stars in Globular Clusters and Nearby Galaxies
Observations of nearby stellar systems with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope PUEO Adaptive Optics system, the University of Hawaii HOKUPA’A system... -
NACO Observations of NGC 1068
We present various recent results obtained with adaptive optics systems on the very central region of NGC 1068: Grif long-slit spectroscopy in K band... -
A Near-Infrared Adaptive Optics Imaging Survey of Nearby QSOs
We present the results of a near-IR Adaptive Optics imaging survey of 32 nearby (z<0.325) QSOs with curvature AO systems on the Gemini North and... -
Subaru Deep Field with Adaptive Optics
A deep K′-band (2.12μ m) image of 1′ × 1′ blank sky field (Subaru Deep Field; SDF) taken with Subaru Adaptive Optics System (AO) is presented. The... -
Adaptive Optics Science with the MMT Adaptive Secondary: Mid-IR AO Imaging of the Post-AGB Star AC Her
The world’s first adaptive secondary has been commissioned at the 6.5m MMT. Early science results suggests that it is unique and highly productive.... -
One Year of NACO Operations
The first ESO adaptive optics system instrument, NACO, installed at the VLT has been offered to the astronomical community and used on a regular... -
The Construction of X-ray Cluster Surveys and Their Spatial Analysis
The construction of X-ray cluster surveys is described. As an example the selection processes applied to the REFLEX survey and first results of an... -
The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey - 10K@2K!
With $\approx$ 10000 QSO redshifts, the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey... -
Clustering of X-Ray Selected AGN
The analysis of the spatial clustering of the brightest X-ray selected AGN from the ROSAT All Sky Survey is presented. A weak correlation signal at a... -
Strong Constraints on Cosmology from Galaxy Clusters
In this work we show how galaxy clusters can be used to discriminate among different cosmological models. We have used available X-ray & optical... -
Large-Scale Distribution and Spectral Properties of Galaxies in the Shapley Concentration
We present the results of a redshift survey of both cluster and intercluster galaxies in the central part of the Shapley Concentration, the richest...
