Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Alastair C. Edge mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Galaxy cluster. The ROSAT, Sky, Quasar and Elliptical galaxy research Alastair C. Edge does as part of his general Astrophysics study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cluster sampling, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work on Celestial equator as part of his general Sky study is frequently connected to Reference image, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Galaxy is a component of his Luminosity, Galaxy formation and evolution, Cooling flow, Intracluster medium and Star formation studies. His Redshift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spectroscopy and Universe. His work in Galaxy cluster is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Dark matter halo.

His most cited work include:

  • The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) (2111 citations)
  • The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample — I. The compilation of the sample and the cluster log N—log S distribution (615 citations)
  • The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) - I. The compilation of the sample and the cluster log N-log S distribution (602 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Galaxy cluster and Redshift. His Brightest cluster galaxy, ROSAT, Active galactic nucleus, Luminosity and Luminous infrared galaxy study are his primary interests in Astrophysics. His studies deal with areas such as Galaxy merger and Black hole as well as Brightest cluster galaxy.

In most of his Galaxy studies, his work intersects topics such as Line. The Galaxy cluster study combines topics in areas such as Gravitational lens, Elliptical galaxy and Velocity dispersion. His Redshift research includes elements of Universe, Telescope, Photometry and Sky.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (93.64%)
  • Galaxy (67.09%)
  • Astronomy (44.91%)

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

  • Astrophysics (93.64%)
  • Galaxy (67.09%)
  • Galaxy cluster (36.91%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Galaxy cluster, Astronomy and Brightest cluster galaxy. His study in Active galactic nucleus, Line, Luminosity, Supermassive black hole and Intracluster medium falls under the purview of Astrophysics. His Active galactic nucleus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both LOFAR and ROSAT.

In the subject of general Galaxy, his work in Star formation, Redshift and Accretion is often linked to Protein filament, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Alastair C. Edge focuses mostly in the field of Galaxy cluster, narrowing it down to matters related to Radio frequency and, in some cases, Low frequency. Alastair C. Edge interconnects Lenticular galaxy, Black hole and Nebula in the investigation of issues within Brightest cluster galaxy.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: 850 μm maps, catalogues and number counts (204 citations)
  • Kiloparsec-scale dust disks in high-redshift luminous submillimeter galaxies. (186 citations)
  • Kiloparsec-scale dust disks in high-redshift luminous submillimeter galaxies (185 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Brightest cluster galaxy and Redshift. His is doing research in Active galactic nucleus, Galaxy formation and evolution, Millimeter, Accretion and Galaxy group, both of which are found in Astrophysics. His study in the field of Star formation is also linked to topics like Protein filament.

His Galaxy merger, Luminous infrared galaxy and Perseus Cluster study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astronomy, is frequently linked to Phoenix, bridging the gap between disciplines. Brightest cluster galaxy is a primary field of his research addressed under Galaxy cluster. His work on Intracluster medium and Lenticular galaxy as part of general Galaxy cluster research is often related to Co detection and Full width at half maximum, thus linking different fields of science.
