Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

Bruce T. Draine mostly deals with Astrophysics, Extinction, Interstellar medium, Astronomy and Cosmic dust. In his research, Redshift is intimately related to Infrared, which falls under the overarching field of Astrophysics. His study in Extinction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Optical depth, Opacity, Luminosity, Quasar and Emission spectrum.

His Interstellar medium research incorporates themes from Milky Way, Charged particle, Cosmic ray and Shock wave. His work on Circumstellar dust, Astrochemistry and Planck as part of his general Astronomy study is frequently connected to Convolution, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. He combines subjects such as Interstellar cloud, Molecular physics, Silicate, Atomic physics and Radiative transfer with his study of Cosmic dust.

His most cited work include:

  • Optical properties of interstellar graphite and silicate grains (2812 citations)
  • Discrete-Dipole Approximation For Scattering Calculations (2586 citations)
  • Dust Grain-Size Distributions and Extinction in the Milky Way, Large Magellanic Cloud, and Small Magellanic Cloud (2165 citations)

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

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Cosmic dust and Interstellar medium are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Astrophysics study are interwoven with issues in Infrared and Emission spectrum. His Emission spectrum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ionization and Spinning dust.

His work in Galaxy covers topics such as Line which are related to areas like Atomic physics. His research in Cosmic dust intersects with topics in Polarization, Scattering and Silicate. His studies in Interstellar medium integrate themes in fields like Opacity and Molecular cloud.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (67.69%)
  • Galaxy (32.31%)
  • Astronomy (27.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (67.69%)
  • Galaxy (32.31%)
  • Interstellar medium (20.08%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Interstellar medium, Line and Star formation. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Astronomy and Infrared. His research investigates the connection between Galaxy and topics such as Emission spectrum that intersect with problems in Ionization and Far infrared.

His Interstellar medium study incorporates themes from Molecular cloud, Opacity, Spiral galaxy, Radiation and Spinning dust. Bruce T. Draine has included themes like Hydrogen molecule, Spectral line, Space observatory and Atomic physics in his Line study. Bruce T. Draine has researched Star formation in several fields, including Spatially resolved and Radiation field.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission (555 citations)
  • [C II] 158 μm EMISSION AS A STAR FORMATION TRACER (160 citations)
  • [CII] 158 $\mu$m Emission as a Star Formation Tracer (153 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Extinction and Interstellar medium. His Astrophysics research includes themes of Infrared and Opacity. The Infrared study combines topics in areas such as Amorphous solid, Silicate and Spitzer Space Telescope.

His Galaxy research focuses on Line and how it relates to Emission spectrum. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Scattering, Cosmic dust, X-ray, Absorption and Attenuation. His Interstellar medium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wavelength and Radiation.
