Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Cosmic microwave background, CMB cold spot, Astronomy and Cosmology. His Astrophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Spectral density. His work carried out in the field of Cosmic microwave background brings together such families of science as Dark energy, Planck and Reionization.

His studies in Planck integrate themes in fields like Polarization, Lambda-CDM model and Gravitational wave. His CMB cold spot research incorporates themes from Age of the universe, Sky, Hubble's law, Spectral index and Universe. His Cosmology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Multipole expansion, Inflation, Neutrino, Primordial fluctuations and Anisotropy.

His most cited work include:

  • First year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observations: Determination of cosmological parameters (8929 citations)
  • SEVEN-YEAR WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE (WMAP *) OBSERVATIONS: COSMOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION (8705 citations)
  • Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) three year results: implications for cosmology (5570 citations)

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

David N. Spergel mostly deals with Astrophysics, Cosmic microwave background, Astronomy, Galaxy and Redshift. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spectral density and CMB cold spot. The concepts of his CMB cold spot study are interwoven with issues in Baryon acoustic oscillations and Spectral index.

His Cosmic microwave background research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reionization, Planck and Sky. The Redshift study combines topics in areas such as Quasar and Velocity dispersion. His Dark matter research incorporates elements of Neutrino, Baryon and Dark matter halo.

He most often published in these fields:

Spergel usually deals with Cosmology and limits it to topics linked to Artificial intelligence and Algorithm. His Dark energy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Redshift survey and COSMIC cancer database.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Simons Observatory : Science goals and forecasts (371 citations)
  • The Simons Observatory : Science goals and forecasts (371 citations)
  • The Simons Observatory: Science goals and forecasts (301 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Cosmic microwave background, Planck, Dark matter and Redshift. His study in Cosmic microwave background is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Astronomy, Sky and Reionization. His Astronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cosmic background radiation and Field of view.

David N. Spergel combines subjects such as Universe and Observable with his study of Dark matter. His Redshift research integrates issues from Amplitude, Halo, Spectral density and Omega. His work is dedicated to discovering how Atacama Cosmology Telescope, CMB cold spot are connected with Baryon density and other disciplines.
