Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma-ray burst, Galaxy and Redshift are his primary areas of study. His is involved in several facets of Astrophysics study, as is seen by his studies on Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Active galactic nucleus, Telescope, Light curve and Afterglow. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Light curve, focusing on Neutron star and, on occasion, Radial velocity.

His research integrates issues of Spectral line, Magnetar, Opacity and Jet in his study of Gamma-ray burst. His studies in Galaxy integrate themes in fields like Stars, Geometry and Flare. The study incorporates disciplines such as Supermassive black hole and Blazar in addition to Redshift.

His most cited work include:

  • The Palomar Transient Factory: system overview, performance and first results (1048 citations)
  • LSST Science Book, Version 2.0 (1027 citations)
  • Exploring the Optical Transient Sky with the Palomar Transient Factory (717 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Gamma-ray burst, Astronomy, Galaxy and Light curve. His work in Afterglow, Redshift, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Telescope and Supernova is related to Astrophysics. His research in Redshift intersects with topics in Metallicity, Quasar and Blazar.

His studies deal with areas such as Gamma ray and Spitzer Space Telescope as well as Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Arne Rau interconnects Extinction, Spectral line and Detector in the investigation of issues within Gamma-ray burst. His Galaxy research integrates issues from Line and Emission spectrum.

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

Arne Rau mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Light curve, Telescope and Redshift. His studies in Galaxy, Supernova, Neutron star, Gamma-ray burst and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are all subfields of Astrophysics research. In the field of Gamma-ray burst, his study on Afterglow overlaps with subjects such as Interplanetary spaceflight.

His work deals with themes such as Spectral line and Blazar, which intersect with Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. His Light curve research includes themes of Amplitude and Balmer series. His research in Telescope focuses on subjects like Observatory, which are connected to Cardinal point, Halo orbit, Lagrangian point, Photon and COSMIC cancer database.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source (430 citations)
  • Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914 (262 citations)
  • 4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals (74 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Telescope, Gamma-ray burst and Light curve. His study in Supernova, Redshift, Neutron star, Luminosity and Galaxy falls within the category of Astrophysics. His Redshift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Blazar.

His work carried out in the field of Telescope brings together such families of science as Swift, Telecommunications, Large field of view and Sky. Many of his studies on Gamma-ray burst involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Extinction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Accretion, Afterglow and Tidal disruption event in addition to Light curve.
