Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Supernova
Astrophysics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Supernova, Astronomy, Luminosity and Spectral line. His Astrophysics and Light curve, Galaxy, Type II supernova, Stars and Photometry investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. His work deals with themes such as Ejecta and Spiral galaxy, which intersect with Light curve.

His Type II supernova research incorporates themes from Star, Circumstellar envelope and White dwarf. His work in Supernova covers topics such as Redshift which are related to areas like Texas Supernova Search. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Spectral line and Kinetic energy through his research.

His most cited work include:

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source (494 citations)
Detection of Circumstellar Material in a Normal Type Ia Supernova (387 citations)
Super-luminous Type Ic Supernovae: Catching a Magnetar by the Tail (383 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Astronomy and Spectral line. His study in Luminosity, Ejecta, Type II supernova, Galaxy and Photometry are all subfields of Astrophysics. His Luminosity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Extinction, Low Mass and Continuum.

His work on Pair-instability supernova as part of his general Supernova study is frequently connected to Radioactive decay, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Light curve research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Supergiant, Radius, Absolute magnitude, Spiral galaxy and Magnitude. His work on Balmer series as part of general Spectral line study is frequently linked to Kinetic energy, Type and Absorption spectroscopy, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

Astrophysics (125.32%)
Supernova (120.68%)
Light curve (62.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

Astrophysics (125.32%)
Supernova (120.68%)
Light curve (62.87%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Spectral line and Astronomy. His study in the field of Galaxy, Photometry and Observatory also crosses realms of Transient and Erg. His work on Ejecta, Type II supernova and Luminous blue variable as part of general Supernova study is frequently linked to Type, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His work deals with themes such as Magnitude, Luminosity and Spectral evolution, which intersect with Light curve. His research investigates the connection with Spectral line and areas like Absolute magnitude which intersect with concerns in Extinction, Ionization and Magnetar. His Pair-instability supernova, Solar mass and Nordic Optical Telescope study in the realm of Astronomy interacts with subjects such as Electromagnetic radiation.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source (494 citations)
PESSTO: survey description and products from the first data release by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (211 citations)
Revisiting the Lick Observatory Supernova Search Volume-limited Sample: Updated Classifications and Revised Stripped-envelope Supernova Fractions (90 citations)
