Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Galaxy
Milky Way

David L. Nidever mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Milky Way. His Astrophysics study is mostly concerned with Metallicity, Radial velocity, Extinction and Magellanic Stream. His Galaxy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Observatory and Sky.

His work carried out in the field of Stars brings together such families of science as Spectral line and Spectrograph. The study incorporates disciplines such as Galaxy formation and evolution, Disc, Bulge, Proper motion and Red giant in addition to Milky Way. His research investigates the connection between Quasar and topics such as Astronomical spectroscopy that intersect with problems in Astrometry.

His most cited work include:

The eleventh and twelfth data releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: final data from SDSS-III (1815 citations)
SDSS-III: MASSIVE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS OF THE DISTANT UNIVERSE, THE MILKY WAY, AND EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS (1779 citations)
SDSS-III: Massive Spectroscopic Surveys of the Distant Universe, the Milky Way Galaxy, and Extra-Solar Planetary Systems (1777 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Stars, Milky Way, Astronomy and Galaxy. His study involves Metallicity, Dwarf galaxy, Radial velocity, Star formation and Sky, a branch of Astrophysics. His Sky research focuses on Observatory and how it connects with Telescope.

His Stars study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spectral line and Radius. In his work, Extinction is strongly intertwined with Bulge, which is a subfield of Milky Way. He combines subjects such as Giant star and Dark matter with his study of Galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

Astrophysics (90.53%)
Stars (58.58%)
Milky Way (50.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Astrophysics (90.53%)
Stars (58.58%)
Milky Way (50.59%)

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

David L. Nidever mostly deals with Astrophysics, Stars, Milky Way, Galaxy and Star formation. His Stars research includes elements of Spectral line and Surface brightness. His study on Milky Way is covered under Astronomy.

His Data release study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astronomy, is frequently linked to Event, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study focuses on the intersection of Galaxy and fields such as Radius with connections in the field of Thin disc and Eccentricity. David L. Nidever has researched Star formation in several fields, including Spiral galaxy and Dwarf galaxy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The 16th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra (221 citations)
The Sixteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra (192 citations)
Dynamical heating across the Milky Way disc using APOGEE and Gaia (62 citations)

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

Milky Way
Astronomy
Galaxy

David L. Nidever mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Milky Way, Metallicity and Galaxy. Magnitude and Bulge are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. His Stars research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Radial density and Flare.

His Milky Way study incorporates themes from Star formation and Red giant. His research integrates issues of Redshift, Galaxy formation and evolution and Observatory in his study of Star formation. His Galaxy research integrates issues from Supernova and Sky.
