Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Topology
  • Astrophysics

Christopher Sneden mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Metallicity and Nucleosynthesis. His Astrophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Abundance. His Stars study combines topics in areas such as Spectral line and Solar System.

His work investigates the relationship between Astronomy and topics such as Neutron capture that intersect with problems in Stellar physics. His Metallicity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both s-process, Supernova, Star formation, Stellar population and Stellar evolution. His study in the field of Red-giant branch and Omega Centauri is also linked to topics like Sodium.

His most cited work include:

  • Abundance Variations within Globular Clusters (844 citations)
  • The nitrogen abundance of the very metal-poor star HD 122563. (788 citations)
  • Neutron-Capture Elements in the Early Galaxy (696 citations)

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

Christopher Sneden focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Metallicity and Spectral line. The study of Astrophysics is intertwined with the study of Abundance in a number of ways. His study in Abundance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neutron capture, Solar System and Star.

His research on Stars frequently links to adjacent areas such as Galaxy. His Metallicity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Astronomical spectroscopy, Abundance of the chemical elements and Supernova. As a member of one scientific family, Christopher Sneden mostly works in the field of Spectral line, focusing on Radiative transfer and, on occasion, Atomic physics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (84.62%)
  • Stars (65.65%)
  • Astronomy (36.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (84.62%)
  • Stars (65.65%)
  • Spectral line (25.07%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Stars, Spectral line, RR Lyrae variable and Metallicity. His work on Horizontal branch, Galaxy, Globular cluster and Nucleosynthesis as part of general Astrophysics research is frequently linked to Field, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Stars study is concerned with the larger field of Astronomy.

Christopher Sneden combines subjects such as Abundance, Radial velocity, Line, Iron peak and Red giant with his study of Spectral line. His study looks at the intersection of RR Lyrae variable and topics like Balmer series with Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Ultraviolet. His Galactic halo research incorporates themes from Milky Way, Galaxy formation and evolution and r-process.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Iron-group abundances in the metal-poor main-sequence turnoff star HD 84937 (108 citations)
  • Line strengths of rovibrational and rotational transitions in the X2Π ground state of OH (66 citations)
  • DISCOVERY OF A METAL-POOR FIELD GIANT WITH A GLOBULAR CLUSTER SECOND-GENERATION ABUNDANCE PATTERN (63 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Topology
  • Astrophysics

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Stars, Spectral line, Metallicity and RR Lyrae variable. Globular cluster, Horizontal branch, Galactic halo, Milky Way and Galaxy are the subjects of his Astrophysics studies. His studies in Galactic halo integrate themes in fields like Galaxy formation and evolution and r-process.

Christopher Sneden specializes in Stars, namely Photometry. His Spectral line research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Abundance, Radial velocity, Infrared, Iron peak and Vanadium. His research integrates issues of Function, Red giant, Star and Sigma in his study of Metallicity.
