Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • White dwarf

His primary areas of study are White dwarf, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars and Spectral line. Detlev Koester interconnects Planetary system, Accretion, Abundance of the chemical elements, Infrared excess and Astrobiology in the investigation of issues within White dwarf. His Astrophysics research focuses on Radial velocity, Supernova, Stellar classification, Black dwarf and Stellar evolution.

Detlev Koester works in the field of Stars, focusing on Stellar mass in particular. His work deals with themes such as Accretion, Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Continuum, which intersect with Spectral line. His work in the fields of Sky, such as Data release, overlaps with other areas such as Homogeneous.

His most cited work include:

  • Metal Lines in DA White Dwarfs (363 citations)
  • SDSS DR7 WHITE DWARF CATALOG (316 citations)
  • White dwarf mass distribution in the SDSS (268 citations)

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

Detlev Koester mainly focuses on White dwarf, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars and Spectral line. His research integrates issues of Planetary system, Accretion, Effective temperature, Surface gravity and Stellar classification in his study of White dwarf. His Photometry, Sky, Radial velocity, Light curve and Supernova investigations are all subjects of Astrophysics research.

Many of his studies on Astronomy apply to Line as well. His research in Stars tackles topics such as Amplitude which are related to areas like Wavelength. The Spectral line study combines topics in areas such as Globular cluster and Radiative transfer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • White dwarf (93.01%)
  • Astrophysics (90.91%)
  • Astronomy (52.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • White dwarf (93.01%)
  • Astrophysics (90.91%)
  • Stars (37.53%)

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

His main research concerns White dwarf, Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy and Spectral line. His White dwarf study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Planetary system, Accretion, Effective temperature, Sky and Planetesimal. His Supernova, Photometry, Surface gravity and Main sequence study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astrophysics, is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Stars study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Light curve and Galaxy. His Spectroscopy and Black dwarf study in the realm of Astronomy connects with subjects such as Bright-white. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Orbital period and Absorption spectroscopy.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New white dwarf and subdwarf stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 (204 citations)
  • Three Hypervelocity White Dwarfs in Gaia DR2: Evidence for Dynamically Driven Double-degenerate Double-detonation Type Ia Supernovae (110 citations)
  • A radio-pulsing white dwarf binary star (88 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • White dwarf

White dwarf, Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy and Planetesimal are his primary areas of study. He has researched White dwarf in several fields, including Accretion, Planetary system, Supernova, Spectral line and Hypervelocity. His study in Milky Way, Stellar classification, Main sequence, Line and Blue dwarf falls within the category of Astrophysics.

His research investigates the connection between Stars and topics such as Atmosphere that intersect with issues in Abundance of the chemical elements, Solar mass, Massive compact halo object and Brown dwarf. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Astronomy and European union in his research. His Planetesimal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Orbit and Giant planet.
