Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Active galactic nucleus, Galaxy, Astronomy and Reverberation mapping. His work on Emission spectrum expands to the thematically related Astrophysics. Bradley M. Peterson interconnects Wavelength, Spectral energy distribution, Continuum, Line and Ionization in the investigation of issues within Active galactic nucleus.

His study looks at the relationship between Galaxy and fields such as Ultraviolet, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work on Astronomical spectroscopy, Photometry, Luminous infrared galaxy and Orion Nebula as part of general Astronomy study is frequently linked to Lag, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Reverberation mapping research includes themes of Starlight, Reverberation and Library science.

His most cited work include:

  • CENTRAL MASSES AND BROAD-LINE REGION SIZES OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI. II. A HOMOGENEOUS ANALYSIS OF A LARGE REVERBERATION-MAPPING DATABASE (1535 citations)
  • Determining Central Black Hole Masses in Distant Active Galaxies and Quasars. II. Improved Optical and UV Scaling Relationships (1050 citations)
  • THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN: X-RAYS DRIVE THE UV THROUGH NIR VARIABILITY IN THE 2013 ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEUS OUTBURST IN NGC 2617 (1012 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Active galactic nucleus, Astronomy and Reverberation mapping. His work carried out in the field of Astrophysics brings together such families of science as Spectral line and Emission spectrum. His Emission spectrum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ionization, Photoionization, Virial theorem and Absorption spectroscopy.

The Galaxy study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Wavelength, Balmer series and Ultraviolet. His Active galactic nucleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Accretion, Continuum, Line, Luminosity and Supermassive black hole. Bradley M. Peterson focuses mostly in the field of Reverberation mapping, narrowing it down to matters related to Observatory and, in some cases, Telescope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (95.43%)
  • Galaxy (47.95%)
  • Active galactic nucleus (52.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (95.43%)
  • Reverberation mapping (43.22%)
  • Active galactic nucleus (52.21%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Reverberation mapping, Active galactic nucleus, Emission spectrum and Quasar. Astrophysics is represented through his Galaxy, Light curve, Black hole, Supermassive black hole and Line research. His Reverberation mapping study combines topics in areas such as Photometry, Sky and Spitzer Space Telescope.

He has included themes like Redshift, Ionization and Radius in his Active galactic nucleus study. His study in Emission spectrum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Continuum, Virial theorem, Luminosity, Outflow and Absorption spectroscopy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Thin disk and Emissivity in addition to Quasar.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spatially resolved rotation of the broad-line region of a quasar at sub-parsec scale (96 citations)
  • X-ray/UV/optical variability of NGC 4593 with Swift: reprocessing of X-rays by an extended reprocessor (58 citations)
  • X-ray/UV/optical variability of NGC 4593 with Swift: reprocessing of X-rays by an extended reprocessor (58 citations)
