His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational microlensing, Planet and Gamma-ray burst. Mass ratio, Stars, Planetary mass, Galactic Center and Galactic halo are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. His Galaxy, Planetary system, Gravitational lens, Neutron star and Binary star study are his primary interests in Astronomy.
The Neutron star study combines topics in areas such as Supernova and Kilonova. Bohdan Paczynski focuses mostly in the field of Gravitational microlensing, narrowing it down to topics relating to Light curve and, in certain cases, Jovian, Photometry and Jupiter. His work deals with themes such as Gamma-ray astronomy and X-ray telescope, which intersect with Gamma-ray burst.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Gravitational microlensing and Gamma-ray burst. Gravitational lens, Galaxy, Binary star, Bulge and Neutron star are subfields of Astrophysics in which his conducts study. His Astronomy research focuses on Planet, Variable star, Stellar evolution, X-ray binary and Planetary system.
Bohdan Paczynski has researched Stars in several fields, including Amplitude and Luminosity. His Gravitational microlensing research includes themes of Optical depth, Mass ratio, Event, Light curve and Dark matter. His Gamma-ray burst research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Redshift, Supernova, Galactic halo, Cosmology and Gamma ray.
His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational microlensing, Planet and Stars. As part of his studies on Astrophysics, Bohdan Paczynski often connects relevant subjects like Parallax. His Astronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Swift and Library science.
Bohdan Paczynski interconnects Milky Way, Stellar mass and Proper motion in the investigation of issues within Gravitational microlensing. His work on Planetary system, Exoplanet and Planetary mass as part of general Planet research is often related to Census, thus linking different fields of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Luminosity and Galaxy in addition to Stars.
Bohdan Paczynski spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational microlensing, Planet and Stars. His Astrophysics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Parallax. His study in Gamma-ray burst, Telescope, Infrared, GRB 980425 and Supernova are all subfields of Astronomy.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Swift, Star formation and Neutron star. His study looks at the relationship between Planet and fields such as Mass ratio, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work carried out in the field of Stars brings together such families of science as Luminosity and Surface brightness.
