Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Planet

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planet, Exoplanet and Planetary system. Stars, Kepler, Terrestrial planet, Kepler-47 and Photometry are subfields of Astronomy in which his conducts study. His study explores the link between Astrophysics and topics such as Radius that cross with problems in Jupiter and Effective temperature.

His Transit research extends to the thematically linked field of Planet. His work is dedicated to discovering how Exoplanet, Orbital period are connected with Low Mass and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stellar evolution and Brown dwarf in addition to Planetary system.

His most cited work include:

  • Kepler Planet-Detection Mission: Introduction and First Results (2751 citations)
  • A SURVEY OF STELLAR FAMILIES: MULTIPLICITY OF SOLAR-TYPE STARS (1445 citations)
  • The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (1409 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Planet, Stars and Exoplanet. In his research on the topic of Astrophysics, Star is strongly related with Radius. His Planet study often links to related topics such as Transit.

As part of his studies on Stars, David W. Latham frequently links adjacent subjects like Spectral line. His work carried out in the field of Exoplanet brings together such families of science as Astrobiology, Effective temperature and Giant planet. He has included themes like Orbital elements and Orbital eccentricity in his Radial velocity study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (69.64%)
  • Astronomy (51.63%)
  • Planet (49.83%)

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

  • Astrophysics (69.64%)
  • Planet (49.83%)
  • Exoplanet (34.22%)

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

David W. Latham mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Planet, Exoplanet, Stars and Radial velocity. In his research, Stellar mass and Star is intimately related to Radius, which falls under the overarching field of Astrophysics. His research on Planet concerns the broader Astronomy.

His study in Exoplanet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Orbital eccentricity, Neptune, Effective temperature and Transit. His Radial velocity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Primary, Solar mass, Planetary mass, Visual binary and Super-Earth. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Low Mass and Brown dwarf.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Revised TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List. (179 citations)
  • The revised TESS Input Catalog and candidate target list (177 citations)
  • TESS Discovery of an Ultra-short-period Planet around the Nearby M Dwarf LHS 3844 (90 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Planet

His primary areas of investigation include Exoplanet, Planet, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Stars. His work deals with themes such as Subgiant, Light curve and Orbital period, which intersect with Exoplanet. His Planet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Radial velocity and Transit.

His study ties his expertise on Radius together with the subject of Astrophysics. His work on Asteroseismology, Giant planet and Starspot as part of his general Stars study is frequently connected to Ecliptic, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. David W. Latham combines subjects such as Visual binary and Stellar mass with his study of Planetary system.
