Three models for collapse and bounce and discussed: Type I Nuclear EOS such, that waveform strong at bounce, with quick 'ring down' Type II Core bounce aected by rotation (centrif. forces),low densities, multiple bounces like damped harmonic oscillator Type III Fast collapse because of very ecient electron capture and small masses of the homologously collapsing inner core, low signal (see Dimmelmeier et al.) GW-burst signal depends mostly on: pre-collapse central angular velocity progenitor mass (iron core mass important at bounce) 17 / 21
