Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Sky, Stars and Galaxy are his primary areas of study. Astrophysics connects with themes related to Emission spectrum in his study. His Sky research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stellar classification and Radial velocity.

While the research belongs to areas of Stars, he spends his time largely on the problem of Luminosity, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Star formation. His work is connected to Quasar, Redshift and Luminosity function, as a part of Galaxy. His Quasar research incorporates elements of Astrometry, Galactic halo and White dwarf.

His most cited work include:

  • The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (4732 citations)
  • THE BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF SDSS-III (1528 citations)
  • The Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (1361 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Sky and Galaxy. In his study, Velocity dispersion is inextricably linked to Spectral line, which falls within the broad field of Astrophysics. Andrew A. West combines topics linked to Luminosity with his work on Stars.

Andrew A. West has included themes like Milky Way, Infrared, Emission spectrum and White dwarf in his Sky study. His Brown dwarf study also includes

  • Spectroscopy together with Thin disk,
  • Observatory together with Spectrograph. His research integrates issues of Astrometry and Subdwarf in his study of Proper motion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (109.33%)
  • Astronomy (64.00%)
  • Stars (61.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (109.33%)
  • Stars (61.67%)
  • Astronomy (64.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Low Mass and Sky. His Brown dwarf, Metallicity, Proper motion, Radial velocity and Galaxy study are his primary interests in Astrophysics. In general Galaxy study, his work on Star formation, Quasar and Dwarf galaxy often relates to the realm of Boss, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Spectral line and Planet in addition to Stars. His study looks at the relationship between Low Mass and topics such as Luminosity, which overlap with Thick disk, Disc, Massive compact halo object and Main sequence. His research investigates the connection with Sky and areas like Photometry which intersect with concerns in Brightness, Surface brightness and Comet.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • THE BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF SDSS-III (1528 citations)
  • The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (1349 citations)
  • The ninth data release of the sloan digital sky survey: First spectroscopic data from the sdss-iii baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey (1334 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way

Andrew A. West spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Brown dwarf and Galaxy. His study in Metallicity, Sky, Radial velocity, Proper motion and Star formation are all subfields of Astrophysics. His research on Astronomy often connects related topics like Astrobiology.

His study in Brown dwarf is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Maser, Jupiter, Solar System, Ionosphere and Magnetosphere. His work on Quasar, Active galactic nucleus and Baryon acoustic oscillations as part of general Galaxy study is frequently linked to Angular diameter distance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The various areas that Andrew A. West examines in his Quasar study include Astronomical spectroscopy, Astrometry, Redshift and Baryon.
