Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Astronomy

Alan Heavens spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy, Dark energy, Cosmology and Redshift. His Astrophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Astronomy and Cosmic microwave background. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Galaxy, Bayesian probability and Point spread function is strongly linked to Algorithm.

The Dark energy study combines topics in areas such as Weak gravitational lensing and Cosmological constant. His Cosmology research includes themes of Physics beyond the Standard Model and Mathematical economics. His Redshift research integrates issues from Amplitude, Measure and Spherical harmonics.

His most cited work include:

  • Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results (1114 citations)
  • Euclid Definition Study Report (1044 citations)
  • LSST Science Book, Version 2.0 (1027 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Weak gravitational lensing and Cosmology. His Astrophysics study incorporates themes from Astronomy, Spectral density and Cosmic microwave background. Alan Heavens combines subjects such as Bispectrum, Planck and Statistical physics with his study of Cosmic microwave background.

In Galaxy, Alan Heavens works on issues like Dark matter, which are connected to Cosmic Vision. The concepts of his Redshift study are interwoven with issues in Omega and Spherical harmonics. Alan Heavens has included themes like COSMIC cancer database, Matter power spectrum and Gravitational lens in his Weak gravitational lensing study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (71.58%)
  • Galaxy (37.54%)
  • Redshift (28.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (71.58%)
  • Weak gravitational lensing (28.42%)
  • Cosmology (25.61%)

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

Alan Heavens focuses on Astrophysics, Weak gravitational lensing, Cosmology, Planck and Cosmic microwave background. Much of his study explores Astrophysics relationship to Statistical physics. His Cosmology research incorporates themes from Physics beyond the Standard Model, Inflation and Gravitational collapse.

Alan Heavens interconnects Bispectrum and Polarization in the investigation of issues within Cosmic microwave background. The Dark energy study which covers Sky that intersects with Gravitational lens. His research in Galaxy tackles topics such as Dark matter which are related to areas like General relativity.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results (1114 citations)
  • Planck 2015 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results (882 citations)
  • The Pan-STARRS1 Surveys (831 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Astronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Dark energy, Planck, Cosmic microwave background and Cosmology. His study on Astrophysics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Statistical physics. His Dark energy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectral density and Cosmological constant.

His work in Planck tackles topics such as Weak gravitational lensing which are related to areas like Free parameter and Neutrino. His work carried out in the field of Cosmic microwave background brings together such families of science as Bispectrum, Dark matter and Sky. Alan Heavens studied Cosmology and Gravitational lens that intersect with Microwave.
