Abstract: Ott will present new results for the gravitational wave signature of the collapse, bounce and early postbounce phases of core-collapse supernovae based on calculations in 3+1 general relativity that employ a finite-temperature nuclear equation of state and realistic supernova progenitor models.

Speaker's Bio: Christian David Ott received his Diploma in Physics from the University of Heidelberg in 2003 and is currently finishing his Ph.D. in Physics at the Universitat Potsdam/Max-Planck-Institut fur Gravitationsphysik. He is currently a full-time research assistant at the Albert-Einstein-Institute. In 1999-2003 Ott served as the Unix Systems Administrator in the Office of the Dean of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg.
