Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Alberto Vecchio spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Gravitational wave, LIGO, Astronomy and Binary black hole. Many of his research projects under Astrophysics are closely connected to Population with Population, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Alberto Vecchio combines subjects such as Galaxy, Dimensionless quantity and Kilonova with his study of Neutron star.

His Gravitational wave research incorporates elements of Pulsar, Observatory and Detector. Alberto Vecchio has included themes like General relativity, Stars, Binary star, Gamma-ray burst and Mass distribution in his LIGO study. His Binary black hole study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gravitational wave background and Stellar black hole.

His most cited work include:

  • Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger (7103 citations)
  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (2671 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, Astronomy and Neutron star. His work deals with themes such as Detector, Pulsar, Sky and Black hole, which intersect with Gravitational wave. As a part of the same scientific family, Alberto Vecchio mostly works in the field of Astrophysics, focusing on Amplitude and, on occasion, Frequency band.

The various areas that he examines in his LIGO study include Gamma-ray burst and Observatory. Neutron star connects with themes related to Stars in his study. His Gravitational-wave observatory research includes elements of Gravitational redshift and Einstein Telescope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gravitational wave (71.82%)
  • Astrophysics (62.00%)
  • LIGO (53.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Gravitational wave (71.82%)
  • LIGO (53.46%)
  • Astrophysics (62.00%)

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

Alberto Vecchio mostly deals with Gravitational wave, LIGO, Astrophysics, Neutron star and Astronomy. His studies deal with areas such as General relativity, Detector, Sky, Neutrino and Pulsar as well as Gravitational wave. His LIGO study deals with Gamma-ray burst intersecting with Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

His work on Binary black hole, Black hole, Redshift and Galaxy as part of general Astrophysics study is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Neutron star research integrates issues from Globular cluster, Computational physics, Coalescence and Kilonova. Alberto Vecchio is interested in Observatory, which is a field of Astronomy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2 (1948 citations)
  • Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A (1739 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Astronomy

Alberto Vecchio mainly investigates Astrophysics, LIGO, Gravitational wave, Neutron star and Binary black hole. His study in the fields of Black hole, Redshift and Supernova under the domain of Astrophysics overlaps with other disciplines such as Population. His study in LIGO is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stars, Galaxy, Mass distribution and Amplitude.

His Gravitational wave study improves the overall literature in Astronomy. The concepts of his Neutron star study are interwoven with issues in Gamma-ray burst, Coalescence, Globular cluster and Kilonova. His study focuses on the intersection of Binary black hole and fields such as Gravitational wave background with connections in the field of Gravitational redshift and Inflation.
