The swiss army knife of job submission tools: grid-control
Grid-control is a lightweight and highly portable open source submission tool
that supports virtually all workflows in high energy physics (HEP). Since 2007
it has been used by a sizeable number of HEP analyses to process tasks that
sometimes consist of up 100k jobs. grid-control is built around a powerful
plugin and configuration system, that allows users to easily specify all
aspects of the desired workflow. Job submission to a wide range of local or
remote batch systems or grid middleware is supported. Tasks can be conveniently
specified through the parameter space that will be processed, which can consist
of any number of variables and data sources with complex dependencies on each
other. Dataset information is processed through a configurable pipeline of
dataset filters, partition plugins and partition filters. The partition plugins
can take the number of files, size of the work units, metadata or combinations
thereof into account. All changes to the input datasets or variables are
propagated through the processing pipeline and can transparently trigger
adjustments to the parameter space and the job submission. While the core
functionality is completely experiment independent, integration with the CMS
computing environment is provided by a small set of plugins.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings for the 22nd International Conference

Radar observations of geomagnetic disturbance effects on midlatitude mesosphere/lower thermosphere dynamics
Zeitreihen von Monatsmittelwerten des Windes in der Mesosphäre/unteren Thermosphäre über Collm werden auf mögliche Korrelationen mit der Nordatlantischen Oszillation (NAO) und der Südlichen Oszillation (SO) hin untersucht. Während eine positive Korrelation bis in die 1990er Jahre existiert, schwächt sich diese in der Folge ab und kehrt sich teilweise um. Da NAO und SO gekoppelt sind, erfolgen diese Änderungen etwa zur selben Zeit. Die Änderung der Kopplung steht wahrscheinlich in Verbindung mit einer generellen Änderung der Dynamik der mittleren Atmosphäre
Spectroscopic variability of two Oe stars
The Oe stars HD45314 and HD60848 have recently been found to exhibit very
different X-ray properties: whilst HD60848 has an X-ray spectrum and emission
level typical of most OB stars, HD45314 features a much harder and brighter
X-ray emission, making it a so-called gamma Cas analogue. Monitoring the
optical spectra could provide hints towards the origin of these very different
behaviours. We analyse a large set of spectroscopic observations of HD45314 and
HD60848, extending over 20 years. We further attempt to fit the H-alpha line
profiles of both stars with a simple model of emission line formation in a
Keplerian disk. Strong variations in the strengths of the H-alpha, H-beta, and
He I 5876 emission lines are observed for both stars. In the case of HD60848,
we find a time lag between the variations in the equivalent widths of these
lines. The emission lines are double peaked with nearly identical strengths of
the violet and red peaks. The H-alpha profile of this star can be successfully
reproduced by our model of a disk seen under an inclination of 30 degrees. In
the case of HD45314, the emission lines are highly asymmetric and display
strong line profile variations. We find a major change in behaviour between the
2002 outburst and the one observed in 2013. This concerns both the relationship
between the equivalent widths of the various lines and their morphologies at
maximum strength (double-peaked in 2002 versus single-peaked in 2013). Our
simple disk model fails to reproduce the observed H-alpha line profiles of
HD45314. Our results further support the interpretation that Oe stars do have
decretion disks similar to those of Be stars. Whilst the emission lines of
HD60848 are explained by a disk with a Keplerian velocity field, the disk of
HD45314 seems to have a significantly more complex velocity field that could be
related to the phenomenon that produces its peculiar X-ray emission.Comment: Accepted for Publication in A&
