Overview

David Hollenbach is affiliated with the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the United States. Their research intersects multiple fields, including health professions, astronomy and astrophysics, spectroscopy, atmospheric science, and philosophy. This multidisciplinary approach is reflected in both the breadth of topics and the diversity of publication venues.

The scientist's main fields of study focus heavily on health professions, with two publications contributing to this area. Subfields encompass general health professions, alongside more specialized areas such as astronomy and astrophysics, spectroscopy, atmospheric science, and philosophy. These research areas underline a varied academic portfolio that bridges natural sciences and social inquiry.

The core topics covered in David Hollenbach's work include:

  • Astrophysics and Star Formation Studies
  • Molecular Spectroscopy and Structure
  • Atmospheric Ozone and Climate
  • Hermeneutics and Narrative Identity
  • Aging, Elder Care, and Social Issues
  • Health, Medicine and Society

Their recent published papers highlight contributions particularly to astrophysics and molecular spectroscopy. These papers are:

  • C18O Emission as an Effective Measure of Gas Masses of Protoplanetary Disks, 2022, The Astrophysical Journal
  • C$^{18}$O emission as an effective measure of gas masses of protoplanetary disks, 2021, arXiv (Cornell University)

David Hollenbach collaborates regularly with several co-authors, including Maxime Ruaud and Uma Gorti, with whom they have coauthored two papers each. These partnerships are likely foundational to the work on astrophysical and molecular spectroscopy topics.

The two noted publication venues are The Astrophysical Journal and arXiv (Cornell University), indicating engagement with both peer-reviewed journals and preprint repositories in the scientific community.
