Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Mathematics
Milky Way

A. Rest focuses on Astrophysics, Dark energy, Supernova, Redshift and Cosmological constant. While working on this project, A. Rest studies both Astrophysics and Type. His work in the fields of Redshift, such as El Gordo and Square degree, intersects with other areas such as Cluster sampling.

His study looks at the relationship between Cosmological constant and topics such as Universe, which overlap with Lambda-CDM model, Metric expansion of space and Quintessence. His Baryon acoustic oscillations research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in CMB cold spot, Supernova Legacy Survey, Galaxy cluster, South Pole Telescope and Equation of state. His Luminosity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neutron star and Kilonova.

His most cited work include:

Observational Constraints on the Nature of Dark Energy: First Cosmological Results from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey (827 citations)
Observational Constraints on the Nature of the Dark Energy: First Cosmological Results from the ESSENCE Supernova Survey (778 citations)
Scrutinizing Exotic Cosmological Models Using ESSENCE Supernova Data Combined with Other Cosmological Probes (560 citations)

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

A. Rest mainly focuses on Atlas, Transient, Astrophysics, Computer graphics and Supernova. In his papers, A. Rest integrates diverse fields, such as Atlas and Astronomy. His Astronomy study focuses on Cosmology in particular.

His study on Redshift, Light curve, LIGO and Galaxy is often connected to Transient as part of broader study in Astrophysics. His LIGO study introduces a deeper knowledge of Gravitational wave. He combines subjects such as Spectroscopy, Dark energy and Luminosity with his study of Supernova.

He most often published in these fields:

Atlas (45.50%)
Transient (45.50%)
Astrophysics (39.73%)

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

A. Rest mainly investigates Transient, Atlas, Computer graphics, Astrophysics and Supernova. A. Rest integrates Atlas with Astronomy in his research. His research in Astronomy is mostly focused on Cosmology.

His study in the field of LIGO, Redshift, Luminosity and Light curve also crosses realms of Transient. His LIGO study is focused on Gravitational wave in general. A. Rest integrates Supernova with Field in his study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant (489 citations)
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models (482 citations)
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Dark Energy Camera Discovery of the Optical Counterpart (315 citations)
