  abstract  = {In zahlreichen Fach- und Wissenschaftstexten der Fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit lassen sich astrologische und alchemistische Symbole finden. Neben den einschl{\"a}gigen Texten aus den beiden historisch eng verwobenen Sachbereichen lassen sich diese Sonderzeichen noch in einer erstaunlichen Bandbreite weiterer Texte nachweisen, etwa in medizinischen und pharmazeutischen Schriften oder in Anleitungen zum Bergbau und zur Metallurgie. Aus linguistischer Perspektive und insbesondere auch aus Sicht der Fachsprachenforschung ist das Ph{\"a}nomen des astrologisch-alchemistischen Symbolgebrauchs in deutschsprachigen Fachtexten der Fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit allerdings bislang kaum beachtet worden. Die Gr{\"u}nde hierf{\"u}r liegen zum einen in der linguistischen Klassifikation dieser Zeichen, zum anderen aber auch in den Schwierigkeiten der - analogen wie digitalen - Reproduktion der Zeichen und ihrer Bedeutungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert einen {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber die Herkunft, Bedeutung und Verwendung der wichtigsten alchemistischen und astrologischen Symbole und ihrer Abwandlungen und Varianten in unterschiedlichen fachlichen Kontexten. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wird auch die Rolle der Drucker bei der Reproduktion astrologischer und alchemistischer Schriften beleuchtet, die der Problematik des Sonderzeichengebrauchs mit verschiedenen Improvisationen begegneten, z.B. durch das optische Nachbilden von Zeichen aus weiteren Drucklettern. Keineswegs stehen die Zeichen grunds{\"a}tzlich isoliert neben dem Text; oft werden sie anstelle ausgeschriebener Worte direkt in diesen integriert und k{\"o}nnen sogar als Bestandteile von Komposita und Ableitungen auftreten. Gerade in ihrer Einbettung in deutschsprachigen Texten zeigt sich auch, dass diese Symbole weniger als Mittel der Geheimhaltung und vielmehr als Ausdruck der Gruppenzugeh{\"o}rigkeit zu den selbsternannten "wahren Philosophen" verwendet wurden.},

  abstract  = {Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the brightest and most frequent sources on the extragalactic X-ray and gamma-ray sky. Their central supermassive blackhole generates an enormous luminostiy through accretion of the surrounding gas. A few AGN harbor highly collimated, powerful jets in which are observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. If their jet axis is seen in a small angle to our line-of-sight (these objects are then called blazars) jet emission can outshine any other emission component from the system. Synchrotron emission from electrons and positrons clearly prove the existence of a relativistic leptonic component in the jet plasma. But until today, it is still an open question whether heavier particles, especially protons, are accelerated as well. If this is the case, AGN would be prime candidates for extragalactic PeV neutrino sources that are observed on Earth. Characteristic signatures for protons can be hidden in the variable high-energy emission of these objects. In this thesis I investigated the broadband emission, particularly the high-energy X-ray and gamma-ray emission of jetted AGN to address open questions regarding the particle acceleration and particle content of AGN jets, or the evolutionary state of the AGN itself. For this purpose I analyzed various multiwavelength observations from optical to gamma-rays over a period of time using a combination of state-of-the-art spectroscopy and timing analysis. By nature, AGN are highly variable. Time-resolved spectral analysis provided a new dynamic view of these sources which helped to determine distinct emission processes that are difficult to disentangle from spectral or timing methods alone. Firstly, this thesis tackles the problem of source classification in order to facilitate the search for interesting sources in large data archives and characterize new transient sources. I use spectral and timing analysis methods and supervised machine learning algorithms to design an automated source classification pipeline. The test and training sample were based on the third XMM-Newton point source catalog (3XMM-DR6). The set of input features for the machine learning algorithm was derived from an automated spectral modeling of all sources in the 3XMM-DR6, summing up to 137200 individual detections. The spectral features were complemented by results of a basic timing analysis as well as multiwavelength information provided by catalog cross-matches. The training of the algorithm and application to a test sample showed that the definition of the training sample was crucial: Despite oversampling minority source types with synthetic data to balance out the training sample, the algorithm preferably predicted majority source types for unclassified objects. In general, the training process showed that the combination of spectral, timing and multiwavelength features performed best with the lowest misclassification rate of \\sim2.4\\\%. The methods of time-resolved spectroscopy was then used in two studies to investigate the properties of two individual AGN, Mrk 421 and PKS 2004-447, in detail. Both objects belong to the class of gamma-ray emitting AGN. A very elusive sub-class are gamma-ray emitting Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (gNLS1) galaxies. These sources have been discovered as gamma-ray sources only recently in 2010 and a connection to young radio galaxies especially compact steep spectrum (CSS) radio sources has been proposed. The only gNLS1 on the Southern Hemisphere so far is PKS2004-447 which lies at the lower end of the luminosity distribution of gNLS1. The source is part of the TANAMI VLBI program and is regularly monitored at radio frequencies. In this thesis, I presented and analyzed data from a dedicated multiwavelength campaign of PKS 2004-447 which I and my collaborators performed during 2012 and which was complemented by individual observations between 2013 and 2016. I focussed on the detailed analysis of the X-ray emission and a first analysis of its broadband spectrum from radio to gamma-rays. Thanks to the dynamic SED I could show that earlier studies misinterpreted the optical spectrum of the source which had led to an underestimation of the high-energy emission and had ignited a discussion on the source class. I show that the overall spectral properties are consistent with dominating jet emission comprised of synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton scattering from accelerated leptons. The broadband emission is very similar to typical examples of a certain type of blazars (flat-spectrum radio quasars) and does not present any unusual properties in comparison. Interestingly, the VLBI data showed a compact jet structure and a steep radio spectrum consistent with a compact steep spectrum source. This classified PKS 2004-447 as a young radio galaxy, in which the jet is still developing. The investigation of Mrk 421 introduced the blazar monitoring program which I and collaborator have started in 2014. By observing a blazar simultaneously from optical, X-ray and gamma-ray bands during a VHE outbursts, the program aims at providing extraordinary data sets to allow for the generation of a series of dynamical SEDs of high spectral and temporal resolution. The program makes use of the dense VHE monitoring by the FACT telescope. So far, there are three sources in our sample that we have been monitoring since 2014. I presented the data and the first analysis of one of the brightest and most variable blazar, Mrk 421, which had a moderate outbreak in 2015 and triggered our program for the first time. With spectral timing analysis, I confirmed a tight correlation between the X-ray and TeV energy bands, which indicated that these jet emission components are causally connected. I discovered that the variations of the optical band were both correlated and anti-correlated with the high-energy emission, which suggested an independent emission component. Furthermore, the dynamic SEDs showed two different flaring behaviors, which differed in the presence or lack of a peak shift of the low-energy emission hump. These results further supported the hypothesis that more than one emission region contributed to the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during the observations. Overall,the studies presented in this thesis demonstrated that time-resolved spectroscopy is a powerful tool to classify both source types and emission processes of astronomical objects, especially relativistic jets in AGN, and thus provide a deeper understanding and new insights of their physics and properties.},
