Measuring and calibrating Galactic synchrotron emission
Our position inside the Galaxy requires all-sky surveys to reveal its
large-scale properties. The zero-level calibration of all-sky surveys differs
from standard 'relative' measurements, where a source is measured in respect to
its surroundings. All-sky surveys aim to include emission structures of all
angular scales exceeding their angular resolution including isotropic emission
components. Synchrotron radiation is the dominating emission process in the
Galaxy up to frequencies of a few GHz, where numerous ground based surveys of
the total intensity up to 1.4 GHz exist. Its polarization properties were just
recently mapped for the entire sky at 1.4 GHz. All-sky total intensity and
linear polarization maps from WMAP for frequencies of 23 GHz and higher became
available and complement existing sky maps. Galactic plane surveys have higher
angular resolution using large single-dish or synthesis telescopes. Polarized
diffuse emission shows structures with no relation to total intensity emission
resulting from Faraday rotation effects in the interstellar medium. The
interpretation of these polarization structures critically depends on a correct
setting of the absolute zero-level in Stokes U and Q.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures. To be published in "Cosmic Magnetic Fields: From

Gymnasia in Eastern Sicily of the Hellenistic and Roman Period
Schriftquellen und Inschriften legen nahe, dass in Sizilien die Institution des Gymnasions vom 3. Jh. v. Chr. an florierte, im Reich Hierons II. wie auch in der spätrepublikanischen römischen Provinz. Dieser Beitrag untersucht kritisch, ob sich dieser Boom im archäologischen Befund und in der Entstehung einer eindeutig erkennbaren Bautypologie widerspiegelt. Am Beispiel von fünf ostsizilischen Städten in Hierons Reich (Syrakus, Morgantina, Megara Hyblaea, Neaiton, Akrai) wird untersucht, ob Gymnasia sicher identifiziert werden können, welchen Grundriss sowie welche Ausstattung und Funktion sie hatten, und ob es Änderungen zwischen dem 3. Jh. und späteren Epochen gab. Es wird gezeigt, dass bislang keine dieser Städte ein sicher identifiziertes und vollständig bekanntes Gymnasium aufweist
Full Sky Study of Diffuse Galactic Emission at Decimeter Wavelengths
A detailed knowledge of the Galactic radio continuum is of high interest for
studies of the dynamics and structure of the Galaxy as well as for the problem
of foreground removal in Cosmic Microwave Background measurements. In this work
we present a full-sky study of the diffuse Galactic emission at frequencies of
few GHz, where synchrotron radiation is by far the dominant component. We
perform a detailed combined analysis of the extended surveys at 408, 1420 and
2326 MHz (by Haslam et al. 1982, Reich 1982, Reich & Reich, 1986 and Jonas et
al. 1998, respectively). Using the technique applied by Schlegel et al. (1998)
to the IRAS data, we produce destriped versions of the three maps. This allows
us to construct a nearly-full-sky map of the spectral index and of the
normalization factor with sub-degree angular resolution. The resulting
distribution of the spectral indices has an average of beta = 2.695 and
dispersion sigma_{beta} = 0.120. This is representative for the Galactic
diffuse synchrotron emission, with only minor effects from free-free emission
and point sources.Comment: 10 pages, 16 jpeg figures, accepted to Astronomy & Astrophysics,
