Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Alain Omont mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Redshift and Quasar. Luminosity, Supermassive black hole, Gravitational lens, Stars and Solar mass are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. His research investigates the connection between Galaxy and topics such as Line that intersect with problems in Dynamical time scale and Spectral line.

His studies deal with areas such as Spectral energy distribution, Stellar mass, Mass ratio and Spitzer Space Telescope as well as Redshift. His Quasar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Redshift survey, Reionization and Black hole, Intermediate-mass black hole, Stellar black hole. His Star formation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cosmic dust and Interstellar medium.

His most cited work include:

  • From filamentary clouds to prestellar cores to the stellar IMF: Initial highlights from the Herschel Gould Belt survey (1271 citations)
  • High molecular gas fractions in normal massive star-forming galaxies in the young Universe (949 citations)
  • Submillimeter Galaxies at z ~ 2: Evidence for Major Mergers and Constraints on Lifetimes, IMF, and CO-H2 Conversion Factor* (697 citations)

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

Alain Omont focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Star formation. His biological study deals with issues like Infrared, which deal with fields such as Spectral line. Alain Omont combines topics linked to Line with his work on Galaxy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Photometry, Stellar mass, Millimeter and Emission spectrum in addition to Redshift. In his study, Submillimeter Array is inextricably linked to Interstellar medium, which falls within the broad field of Star formation. His Luminous infrared galaxy research integrates issues from Galaxy cluster and Elliptical galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (94.71%)
  • Galaxy (61.78%)
  • Astronomy (54.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (94.71%)
  • Galaxy (61.78%)
  • Redshift (46.15%)

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

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Star formation and Quasar are his primary areas of study. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Spectral line and Emission spectrum. His Galaxy study is concerned with the larger field of Astronomy.

When carried out as part of a general Redshift research project, his work on Gravitational lens is frequently linked to work in Flux, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work carried out in the field of Star formation brings together such families of science as Line, Galaxy formation and evolution, Active galactic nucleus and Continuum. While the research belongs to areas of Luminous infrared galaxy, Alain Omont spends his time largely on the problem of Spiral galaxy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Disc galaxy.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Herschel-ATLAS: a sample of 500 μm-selected lensed galaxies over 600 deg2 (81 citations)
  • PROBING THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM AND STAR FORMATION OF THE MOST LUMINOUS QUASAR AT z = 6.3 (73 citations)
  • A Wide Dispersion in Star Formation Rate and Dynamical Mass of 108 Solar Mass Black Hole Host Galaxies at Redshift 6 (64 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Star formation and Astronomy. As part of the same scientific family, Alain Omont usually focuses on Astrophysics, concentrating on Spectral line and intersecting with Luminosity and Spectroscopy. The concepts of his Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Planck, Infrared, Black hole and Mass ratio.

His study explores the link between Redshift and topics such as Galaxy cluster that cross with problems in Spectral energy distribution and Hubble Deep Field. His work on South Pole Telescope as part of general Astronomy research is often related to Flux, thus linking different fields of science. His Supermassive black hole study combines topics in areas such as Stellar mass and Quasar.
