Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Statistics
Astrophysics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Supernova, Galaxy and Redshift. His work is connected to Dark energy, Planck, Luminosity, Light curve and Hubble's law, as a part of Astrophysics. His Hubble's law research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Large Magellanic Cloud, Cosmic distance ladder and Cepheid variable.

His Cepheid variable research includes elements of Milky Way, Megamaser and Wide Field Camera 3. Daniel Scolnic works mostly in the field of Galaxy, limiting it down to topics relating to Gamma-ray burst and, in certain cases, Blanketing, as a part of the same area of interest. His studies in Redshift integrate themes in fields like Star formation and Elliptical galaxy, Type-cD galaxy.

His most cited work include:

A 2.4% DETERMINATION OF THE LOCAL VALUE OF THE HUBBLE CONSTANT* (1609 citations)
A 2.4% DETERMINATION OF THE LOCAL VALUE OF THE HUBBLE CONSTANT* (1609 citations)
Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheid Standards Provide a 1% Foundation for the Determination of the Hubble Constant and Stronger Evidence for Physics beyond ΛCDM (1041 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Supernova, Dark energy, Galaxy and Redshift. Many of his research projects under Astrophysics are closely connected to Type and Transient with Type and Transient, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Supernova study is concerned with the larger field of Astronomy.

His Dark energy research includes themes of Weak gravitational lensing, Cosmological constant and Planck. His Redshift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as COSMIC cancer database, Universe and Telescope. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hubble's law and Cepheid variable in addition to Milky Way.

Supernova (64.57%)

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

Daniel Scolnic mostly deals with Astrophysics, Dark energy, Supernova, Spitzer Space Telescope and Cosmology. His Astrophysics study focuses on Redshift in particular. Daniel Scolnic combines subjects such as Universe, Observatory and Weak gravitational lensing with his study of Dark energy.

His Supernova study combines topics in areas such as Luminosity, Galaxy and Stellar mass. The concepts of his Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Light curve and Photometry. His Cosmic distance ladder research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cepheid variable, Milky Way and Hubble's law.

Between 2020 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Cosmic Distances Calibrated to 1% Precision with Gaia EDR3 Parallaxes and Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of 75 Milky Way Cepheids Confirm Tension with ΛCDM (25 citations)
The Effect of Environment on Type Ia Supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey Three-Year Cosmological Sample (6 citations)
It's Dust: Solving the Mysteries of the Intrinsic Scatter and Host-Galaxy Dependence of Standardized Type Ia Supernova Brightnesses (4 citations)
