Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Operating system

Alexander S. Szalay mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Sky and Redshift. His Astrophysics study is mostly concerned with Quasar, Galaxy formation and evolution, Luminosity, Elliptical galaxy and Cosmology. The Galaxy study combines topics in areas such as Stars and Spectral density.

His work on Data release as part of general Sky study is frequently connected to Imaging data, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spectral line, Emission spectrum, Photometry and Baryon. The concepts of his Redshift survey study are interwoven with issues in Surface brightness and Photometric redshift.

His most cited work include:

  • The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical summary (8500 citations)
  • The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (4732 citations)
  • Detection of the baryon acoustic peak in the large-scale correlation function of SDSS luminous red galaxies (3620 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Alexander S. Szalay mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Sky. His study in Star formation, Galaxy formation and evolution, Luminosity, Quasar and Photometry is carried out as part of his Astrophysics studies. His research integrates issues of Stars, Universe and Spectral density in his study of Galaxy.

His study in Luminous infrared galaxy, Elliptical galaxy, Lenticular galaxy, Galaxy group and Brightest cluster galaxy is done as part of Astronomy. His Redshift research integrates issues from Cosmology, Spectral line, Emission spectrum and Dark matter. Alexander S. Szalay is studying Data release, which is a component of Sky.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (58.58%)
  • Galaxy (46.50%)
  • Astronomy (32.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (58.58%)
  • Galaxy (46.50%)
  • Astronomy (32.22%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alexander S. Szalay mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Sky and Redshift. His work is connected to Halo, Dark matter, Star formation, Photometric redshift and Baryon acoustic oscillations, as a part of Astrophysics. His studies in Galaxy integrate themes in fields like Stars, COSMIC cancer database, Spectral resolution and Cosmology.

His study in Luminous infrared galaxy, Elliptical galaxy and Quasar falls under the purview of Astronomy. Sky is often connected to Celestial sphere in his work. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Redshift, concentrating on Dark energy and frequently concerns with Redshift-space distortions and Configuration space.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SDSS-III: MASSIVE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS OF THE DISTANT UNIVERSE, THE MILKY WAY, AND EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS (1779 citations)
  • The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III (1337 citations)
  • The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III (1317 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Operating system
  • Astronomy

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Sky, Redshift and Astronomy are his primary areas of study. Star formation, Photometric redshift, Halo, Stellar mass and Milky Way are subfields of Astrophysics in which his conducts study. His Galaxy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stars and Dark matter.

His Sky research incorporates elements of Astrometry and Standard deviation. The various areas that Alexander S. Szalay examines in his Redshift study include Correlation function, COSMIC cancer database and Perturbation theory. His Quasar, Radio galaxy and Elliptical galaxy investigations are all subjects of Astronomy research.
