Hanns Ruder (born November 3, 1939 in Nuremberg ; † October 17, 2015 ) was a German astrophysicist .

Life

Ruder suffered from polio in early childhood , from which he suffered a lifelong disability. After elementary school and attending the Dürer secondary school, he studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg with a diploma in 1964, a doctorate in 1967 (for the solution of the quantum mechanical three-body problem) and his habilitation in 1972 (for the exact treatment of collective rotations) . The focus of his scientific work at that time was theoretical nuclear physics. Afterwards he was scientific advisor and from 1978 professor for theoretical physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. From 1983 until his retirement in 2006 he was Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Tübingen .

In addition to various astrophysical problems (including simulation with supercomputers; from 1994 to 2006 he was spokesman for the corresponding Collaborative Research Center 382 of the DFG ), he dealt with the visualization of the predictions of the theory of relativity.

From 1993 to 1996 he was chairman of the Astronomical Society . From 2002 to 2009, Hanns Ruder was a member of the award committee for the Georg Kerschensteiner Prize . Since 2013, Ruder has been a scientific advisor for the Public Telescope project, which aims to design, build and operate a space telescope .

Hanns Ruder was married to the mathematician Margret Ruder, and they both had a son.
