Below, three examples of servant leadership and continued effort are given: • In recognizing the scientific, technological and political opportunity, I have invested a considerable amount of effort in making the idea of the near-infra red spectrograph to become a reality (the so-called NIRPS project). Since 2014, I have been working from gathering the team around our the response to the Letter of Intent; then going through the submission and approval of the proposal; working to find agreements within the team and with ESO to make it feasible and beneficial to all parties; I’m now fully committed to make it to come true. 4 • Since 2013, I have been working close to many stakeholders to promote the Brazilian ratification to the ESO membership. This requires a considerable amount of energy in interfacing with the Brazilian astronomical community, society, Brazilian government and ESO upper management. • By request of the Department Head in 2012, I had the

Alexander A. Schegerer, geboren in Kaufbeuren Tag der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 17.

VI Thema Im Zentrum dieser Doktorarbeit steht die Untersuchung der inneren Strukturen zirkumstella- rer Scheiben um T Tauri-Sterne sowie die Analyse zirkumstellarer Staub- und Eisteilchen und ihres Einflusses auf die Scheibenstruktur. Unter Zuhilfenahme von theoretisch berechneten Vergleichsspektren gibt der Verlauf der 10 µm-Emissionsbande in den Spektren junger stellarer Objekte Hinweise auf den Entwick- lungsgrad von Silikatstaub. Die Silikatbanden von 27 T Tauri-Objekten werden analysiert, um nach potentiell vorliegenden Korrelationen zwischen der Silikatstaubzusammensetzung und den stellaren Eigenschaften zu suchen. Analog erlaubt das Absorptionsband bei 3 µm, das dem Wassereis zugeschrieben wird, eine Untersuchung der Entwicklung von Eisk¨ornern in jungen stellaren Objekten. Erstmals ist es gelungen, kristallines Wassereis im Spektrum eines T Tauri-Objektes nachzuweisen. Unser wichtigstes Hilfsmittel zur Analyse der Temperatur- und Dichtestrukturen zirkum- stellarer

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. ​ ​ ​ WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the ​ internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials.
