Für jedes Instrument, das im Flugzeug installiert wird, wird eine Zulassung be- nötigt – ein Prozess, der auch mehrere Monate dauert. Die Geräte müssen für die Bordzulassung zahlreiche Kriterien erfüllen, wie die elektromagnetische Verträglich- keit, um die empfindliche Elektronik des Flugzeugs nicht zu stören. „Die Zulassungsprozesse sind in den letzten Jahren immer schwieriger und aufwendiger geworden. Früher waren die Dokumente um die 80 Seiten lang, heute sind es mehrere hundert“, so Fischer. Ab dem 17. Februar werden alle Instrumente nach Oberpfaffenhoffen gelie- fert und in den darauf folgenden Wochen montiert. Die Testflüge mit HALO finden ab Ende März statt.

  • Del Progetto Einstein@Home, Scoprono Una Nuova Pulsar Nei Dati Del Radio Telescopio Di Arecibo
    Gente comune, ‘’scienziati’’ del progetto Einstein@Home, scoprono una nuova pulsar nei dati del radio telescopio di Arecibo. I computer inattivi sono un po’ come il parco giochi degli astronomi: tre persone comuni, un tedesco ed una coppia in America, hanno scoperto una pulsar nascosta nei dati raccolti dall’osservatorio di Arecibo. Questa e’ la prima scoperta dello spazio profondo da parte di Einstein@Home, un progetto che utilizza il tempo di calcolo donato da 250 000 volontari in 192 differenti paesi. I volontari mettono a disposizione i propri computer quando non li stanno usando (Science Express, Aug. 12, 2010.). I volontari i cui computer hanno fatto la scoperta sono Chris ed Helen Colvin, di Ames, nell’Iowa, USA, e Daniel Gebhardt dell’universita’ di Mainz , dipartimento di informatica musicale, Germania. I loro computer, assieme agli altri 500 000 sparsi in tutto il mondo, analizzano dati per Einstein@Home (in media ogni volontario contribuisce con due computer). La nuova pulsar, chiamata PSR J2007+2722, e’ una stella di neutroni che ruota su se’ stessa 41 volte al secondo. La pulsar si trova nella Via Lattea nella costellazione Vulpecula a circa 17 000 anni luce dalla Terra. A differenza delle altre pulsar che ruotano velocemente e stabilmente come lei, J2007+2722 se ne sta tutta sola nello spazio senza nessun’altra stella compagna ad orbitarle attorno. Gli astronomi ritengono che J2007+2722 sia particolarmente interessante perche’ e’ probabilmente una pulsar riciclata che ha perso durante la propria evoluzione la stella compagna. Questa ipotesi, seppure la piu’ interessante, rimane tuttavia una ipotesi e altri scenari sono possibili, per esempio che J2007+2722 sia una pulsar giovane nata con un campo magnetico piu’ basso del normale.

  • Ringberg Meeting “Bounding the Aerosol Effective Radiative Forcing”
    Ringberg meeting “Bounding the aerosol effective radiative forcing” 26 February – 2 March 2018, Schloss Ringberg, Kreuth, Germany Goal: The aim1 is to exclude unlikely strong and weak aerosol forcings (e.g. provide arguments why the aerosol forcing cannot be more negative than -1.5 Wm-2, or why it cannot be positive). We aim for likelihood rather than certainty. Each participant is invited to submit a 1-page list of theses about likely/unlikely aerosol to the group ([email protected]) before the workshop. Concept: One presenter per session - prepares a limited number of theses that quantify or constrain forcings/mechanisms - all participants are invited to submit theses to the presentations - theses can (should) be corroborated briefly by explanations/graphics/references - presenters distribute the theses until late January so participants can prepare for the discussions At the meeting, one rapporteur per session - moderates the plenum discussions and - takes notes for the wrap-up discussions on Friday A large part of the discussions will be in breakout groups: - three breakout groups with 10-12 participants each; - distribution will be randomly selected and change each time, and - a rapporteur per breakout group per session will also be randomly appointed Location: Ringberg Castle (www.schloss-ringberg.de). Participants are expected to cover their own expenses (travel to Munich + 2 hr train from airport / 1 hr from railway station plus 126 € / night including all meals) and be in residence for the duration of the workshop. If financial restrictions might prevent you from coming please let us know and we will look for ways to help offset some or all of the costs.

  • CHAPTER 8 GERMAN NUCLEAR POLICY Ernst Urich Von
    CHAPTER 8 GERMAN NUCLEAR POLICY Ernst Urich von Weizsäcker Nuclear fission was discovered here in Berlin by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1938, but the first applications were made in the United States. Enrico Fermi’s first nuclear reactor began producing small amounts of energy in Chicago as early as 1942, and the first atomic bomb exploded in the Alamogordo desert in 1945. The Nazi period was the ultimate disaster for Germany (and others). The earlier scientific excellence—bringing more Nobel Prizes to Germany than to any other country during the first third of the 20th century—was badly eroded by Nazi tyranny and criminal anti- Semitism. What the Nazis did not do was done by the War. German industry virtually had ceased to exist in 1945, and almost all cities were destroyed. The mindset after the war was characterized by guilt, peaceful reconstruction, pacifism (even under the threat of Soviet expansion), and an almost antinational sentiment of “Europeanism.” The near absence of patriotism after 1945 was, of course, a consequence of its horrendous abuse by the Nazis but remains difficult for Americans to understand. Concerning energy policy, two factors were dominant in post-war Europe: coal was the chief source of energy, and demand was rising steeply. The first significant move towards West European integration was the European Community of Coal and Steel (ECCS), founded in 1951. Its six countries, Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, were the nucleus of what 6 years later became the European Economic Community. The ECCS also became a symbol of industrial democracy, of co-determination, because for the heavy industries’ supervisory boards a one-to-one parity between capital and labor became a mandatory rule, motivated perhaps by the fact that steel at the time was also the core of the arms industry that needed international control.
