Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Claus Leitherer focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Star formation. His research links Spectral line with Astrophysics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Galaxy, Line are connected with Emission spectrum and other disciplines.

His works in Active galactic nucleus, Stellar evolution, Stellar population, Star cluster and Initial mass function are all subjects of inquiry into Astronomy. In his research on the topic of Stars, Stellar rotation, Rotation and Dispersion is strongly related with Luminosity. The concepts of his Luminous infrared galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Infrared and Radio galaxy.

His most cited work include:

  • Starburst99: Synthesis Models for Galaxies with Active Star Formation (3530 citations)
  • SINGS: The SIRTF Nearby Galaxies Survey (1143 citations)
  • The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators (869 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Star formation. His research investigates the connection between Astrophysics and topics such as Spectral line that intersect with issues in Ultraviolet. His Galaxy study often links to related topics such as Line.

All of his Astronomy and Stellar evolution, Large Magellanic Cloud, Elliptical galaxy, Stellar mass loss and O-type star investigations are sub-components of the entire Astronomy study. The Stars study combines topics in areas such as Spectroscopy, Wavelength and Emission spectrum. His Star formation research incorporates themes from Equivalent width and Infrared.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (87.62%)
  • Galaxy (60.88%)
  • Astronomy (52.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (87.62%)
  • Galaxy (60.88%)
  • Astronomy (52.89%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Star formation. His work deals with themes such as Spectral line and Outflow, which intersect with Astrophysics. His biological study deals with issues like Line, which deal with fields such as Spectral signature, Absorption and Atmosphere.

His Astronomy research includes elements of Wavelength, Ultraviolet and Continuum. Claus Leitherer studied Stars and Luminosity that intersect with Stellar rotation. His study in Star formation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Equivalent width, Star cluster, Spiral galaxy and Nebula.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • THE COSMIC ORIGINS SPECTROGRAPH (441 citations)
  • THEORETICAL EVOLUTION OF OPTICAL STRONG LINES ACROSS COSMIC TIME (364 citations)
  • The Effects of Stellar Rotation. II. A Comprehensive Set of Starburst99 Models (340 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Claus Leitherer spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy, Star formation, Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Astronomy. His Astrophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Equivalent width and Outflow. His Galaxy research incorporates elements of Line and Spectral line, Emission spectrum.

His Star formation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quasar and Radio galaxy. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, Star cluster, O-type star, Intergalactic travel, Spectrograph and Ultraviolet astronomy is strongly linked to Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. His work in Stars addresses subjects such as Universe, which are connected to disciplines such as Lambda.
