Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Catherine Heymans mostly deals with Astrophysics, Weak gravitational lensing, Galaxy, Redshift and Astronomy. Her is involved in several facets of Astrophysics study, as is seen by her studies on Cosmology, Dark matter, COSMIC cancer database, Photometric redshift and Galaxy formation and evolution. While the research belongs to areas of Dark matter, Catherine Heymans spends her time largely on the problem of Cosmic Vision, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Metric expansion of space.

Her Weak gravitational lensing research integrates issues from Halo, Matter power spectrum, Telescope and Gravitational lens. Catherine Heymans has included themes like Dark energy and Sky in her Galaxy study. Her studies in Redshift integrate themes in fields like Luminosity, Photometry and Planck.

Her most cited work include:

  • Euclid Definition Study Report (1107 citations)
  • Cosmology and fundamental physics with the Euclid satellite (880 citations)
  • KiDS-450: cosmological parameter constraints from tomographic weak gravitational lensing (801 citations)

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

Catherine Heymans spends much of her time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy, Weak gravitational lensing, Redshift and Astronomy. Her Dark matter, Cosmology, Gravitational lens, COSMIC cancer database and Photometric redshift investigations are all subjects of Astrophysics research. Her Gravitational lens research incorporates elements of Algorithm and Point spread function.

Her Galaxy study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Dark energy. The Weak gravitational lensing study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Planck and Matter power spectrum, Cosmic microwave background. The various areas that Catherine Heymans examines in her Redshift study include Luminosity, Sigma, Omega and Photometry.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (98.52%)
  • Galaxy (73.40%)
  • Weak gravitational lensing (59.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (98.52%)
  • Galaxy (73.40%)
  • Redshift (48.77%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Weak gravitational lensing and Cosmology. As a member of one scientific family, Catherine Heymans mostly works in the field of Astrophysics, focusing on Cosmic microwave background and, on occasion, Planck. Her Galaxy research includes themes of Telescope and Cluster analysis.

In the field of Redshift, her study on Photometric redshift overlaps with subjects such as Degree. Her research in Weak gravitational lensing intersects with topics in Satellite galaxy, Baryon and Sky. Her Gravitational lens research focuses on Universe and how it relates to General relativity.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • KiDS+VIKING-450: Cosmic shear tomography with optical+infrared data (184 citations)
  • The fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey: ugri imaging and nine-band optical-IR photometry over 1000 square degrees (115 citations)
  • KiDS-1000 Cosmology: Multi-probe weak gravitational lensing and spectroscopic galaxy clustering constraints (111 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Statistics
  • Astronomy

Catherine Heymans focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Weak gravitational lensing and Cosmology. Her research investigates the link between Astrophysics and topics such as Cosmic microwave background that cross with problems in Planck. The concepts of her Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Sample and Telescope.

Her study in Redshift is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Calibration and Neutrino. Her Weak gravitational lensing research incorporates themes from Satellite galaxy and Sky. Her studies deal with areas such as Parameter space and Stellar mass as well as Cosmology.
