Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Solar System

His primary areas of investigation include Asteroid, Astronomy, Solar System, Yarkovsky effect and Astrophysics. His Asteroid study incorporates themes from Jupiter and Meteorite. His Solar System research focuses on Formation and evolution of the Solar System in particular.

His study in Yarkovsky effect is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Perturbation, Flux and Classical mechanics. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Gravitation, Spin states and Spin-½. His work in Asteroid belt tackles topics such as Late Heavy Bombardment which are related to areas like Precambrian.

His most cited work include:

  • The fossilized size distribution of the main asteroid belt (484 citations)
  • COMETARY ORIGIN OF THE ZODIACAL CLOUD AND CARBONACEOUS MICROMETEORITES. IMPLICATIONS FOR HOT DEBRIS DISKS (394 citations)
  • Linking the collisional history of the main asteroid belt to its dynamical excitation and depletion (387 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Asteroid, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Solar System and Astrobiology. As part of his studies on Asteroid, he often connects relevant subjects like Celestial mechanics. His study in Planet, Jupiter, Meteoroid, Formation and evolution of the Solar System and Nice model falls within the category of Astronomy.

His studies in Jupiter integrate themes in fields like Planetary migration and Outer planets. His Astrophysics research integrates issues from Rotation and Classical mechanics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Comet, Orbital plane, Secular resonance, Orbit and Orbital eccentricity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Asteroid (63.95%)
  • Astronomy (55.78%)
  • Astrophysics (44.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Asteroid (63.95%)
  • Astrophysics (44.56%)
  • Astronomy (55.78%)

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

David Vokrouhlický mostly deals with Asteroid, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Solar System and Celestial mechanics. Asteroid is a subfield of Astrobiology that David Vokrouhlický explores. His study in the field of Rotation period, Comet and Stars also crosses realms of Context and Fission.

His Astronomy study focuses mostly on Jupiter, Planetary migration, Terrestrial planet, Asteroid belt and Orbit. The concepts of his Solar System study are interwoven with issues in Planet and Close encounter. David Vokrouhlický studied Near-Earth object and Albedo that intersect with Geometric albedo and Ecliptic coordinate system.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Super-catastrophic disruption of asteroids at small perihelion distances (145 citations)
  • The OSIRIS-REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu: Constraints on its physical, geological, and dynamical nature from astronomical observations (132 citations)
  • In search of the source of asteroid (101955) Bennu: Applications of the stochastic YORP model (102 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Solar System

His primary scientific interests are in Astronomy, Asteroid, Astrophysics, Solar System and Near-Earth object. The Astronomy study combines topics in areas such as Period and Cluster. His Asteroid study is focused on Astrobiology in general.

His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Scattering and Rotation. His Solar System study which covers Planet that intersects with Comet, Flux, Stars and Observable. His Near-Earth object research includes elements of Albedo, Impact crater and Terrestrial planet.
