Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Asteroid
  • Mathematical analysis

His main research concerns Asteroid, Astrobiology, Astronomy, Spacecraft and Classical mechanics. His studies deal with areas such as Solar System, Astrophysics, Mechanics and Regolith as well as Asteroid. Daniel J. Scheeres combines subjects such as Mass movement and Rotation with his study of Astrobiology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Radar and Rotation period in addition to Astronomy. His Spacecraft research is multidisciplinary, relying on both New Frontiers program, Orbit and Trajectory. His Classical mechanics research incorporates themes from Mathematical analysis and Stability.

His most cited work include:

  • The Rubble-Pile Asteroid Itokawa as Observed by Hayabusa (663 citations)
  • Exterior gravitation of a polyhedron derived and compared with harmonic and mascon gravitation representations of asteroid 4769 Castalia (452 citations)
  • Touchdown of the Hayabusa spacecraft at the Muses Sea on Itokawa. (278 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Asteroid, Astrobiology, Spacecraft, Classical mechanics and Astronomy. His Asteroid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mechanics, Rotation, Astrophysics and Regolith. He combines topics linked to Gravitation with his work on Mechanics.

His research on Astrobiology focuses in particular on Solar System. His work carried out in the field of Spacecraft brings together such families of science as Control theory, Orbit, Trajectory and Radiation pressure. Daniel J. Scheeres has included themes like Mathematical analysis and Stability in his Classical mechanics study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Asteroid (44.49%)
  • Astrobiology (17.21%)
  • Spacecraft (15.84%)

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

  • Asteroid (44.49%)
  • Astrobiology (17.21%)
  • Astronomy (15.42%)

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

Daniel J. Scheeres focuses on Asteroid, Astrobiology, Astronomy, Astrophysics and Spin-½. His Asteroid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spacecraft, Geometry, Rotation and Regolith. His Rotation study deals with Mechanics intersecting with Gravitation and Orbit.

His work in the fields of Astronomy, such as Geosynchronous orbit, overlaps with other areas such as Osiris. The concepts of his Astrophysics study are interwoven with issues in Rotation period and Angular acceleration. In his research on the topic of Spin-½, Mathematical analysis is strongly related with Stability.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu-A spinning top-shaped rubble pile. (173 citations)
  • The unexpected surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu (163 citations)
  • Craters, boulders and regolith of (101955) Bennu indicative of an old and dynamic surface (82 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Asteroid

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Asteroid, Astrophysics, Spacecraft, Astrobiology and Astronomy. Daniel J. Scheeres is involved in the study of Asteroid that focuses on Near-Earth object in particular. His research integrates issues of Rotation period, Debris and Breakup in his study of Astrophysics.

Daniel J. Scheeres interconnects Equatorial bulge, Gravitational field, Control theory and Trajectory optimization in the investigation of issues within Spacecraft. In Astrobiology, Daniel J. Scheeres works on issues like Mass movement, which are connected to Asteroid belt. His Solar System, Libration, Mars Exploration Program and Tidal force study in the realm of Astronomy connects with subjects such as Orbital period.
