Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Elliptical galaxy and Velocity dispersion. Galaxy groups and clusters, Photometry, Luminosity, Galaxy group and Star formation are the core of his Astrophysics study. His work in Galaxy addresses subjects such as Black hole, which are connected to disciplines such as Sigma.

His studies in Elliptical galaxy integrate themes in fields like Galaxy formation and evolution and Luminous infrared galaxy. He interconnects M–sigma relation and Supermassive black hole in the investigation of issues within Bulge. His Fundamental plane study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Large quasar group, Virial theorem and Intermediate-mass black hole, Mass deficit.

His most cited work include:

  • The Demography of massive dark objects in galaxy centers (3345 citations)
  • The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy Centres (3251 citations)
  • The M-σ and M-L Relations in Galactic Bulges, and Determinations of Their Intrinsic Scatter (1343 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Elliptical galaxy and Redshift. His is involved in several facets of Astrophysics study, as is seen by his studies on Galaxy cluster, Galaxy groups and clusters, Velocity dispersion, Star formation and Black hole. Alan Dressler has researched Velocity dispersion in several fields, including Supermassive black hole and Sigma.

His research on Galaxy often connects related areas such as Photometry. His Elliptical galaxy research integrates issues from Luminous infrared galaxy and Bulge. His work in Redshift addresses issues such as Spectroscopy, which are connected to fields such as Grism and Astronomical spectroscopy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (84.71%)
  • Galaxy (59.50%)
  • Astronomy (53.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (84.71%)
  • Galaxy (59.50%)
  • Astronomy (53.72%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Galaxy cluster. The concepts of his Astrophysics study are interwoven with issues in Spectroscopy and Emission spectrum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Equivalent width and Universe in addition to Galaxy.

His is doing research in Elliptical galaxy, Galaxy group, Luminous infrared galaxy, Hubble Deep Field and Infrared, both of which are found in Astronomy. His Redshift research includes themes of Line and Mass distribution. His research integrates issues of Parameter space, Dark matter and Velocity dispersion in his study of Galaxy cluster.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Wide-Field InfrarRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets WFIRST-AFTA 2015 Report (663 citations)
  • IMACS: The Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph on Magellan-Baade (225 citations)
  • Very Strong Emission-Line Galaxies in the WISP Survey and Implications for High-Redshift Galaxies (210 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Alan Dressler focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Galaxy cluster. He integrates many fields in his works, including Astrophysics and Moment. His research in Stellar mass, Star formation, Luminosity, Milky Way and Metallicity are components of Galaxy.

He studied Redshift and Emission spectrum that intersect with Grism, Spectroscopy and Surface brightness. His work is dedicated to discovering how Galaxy cluster, Velocity dispersion are connected with Disc galaxy and other disciplines. Alan Dressler combines subjects such as Galaxy groups and clusters and Lenticular galaxy, Galaxy group, Peculiar galaxy with his study of Brightest cluster galaxy.
