  • Seven temperate terrestrial planets around the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (1046 citations)
  • ELODIE: A spectrograph for accurate radial velocity measurements (1026 citations)

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

Didier Queloz spends much of his time researching Planet, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Exoplanet and Planetary system. His Planet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Light curve and Orbital period. He combines subjects such as Radius and Transit with his study of Astrophysics.

His Exoplanet research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Astrobiology, Terrestrial planet, Metallicity and Giant planet. Didier Queloz has researched Planetary system in several fields, including Rotation period, Circular orbit and Neptune. His research in Radial velocity intersects with topics in Orbital elements, Spectrograph and Binary star.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (78.25%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Planet, Exoplanet, Astrophysics, Stars and Astronomy. His research in Planet is mostly focused on Planetary system. He has included themes like Astrobiology and Terrestrial planet in his Exoplanet study.

His Astrophysics research incorporates elements of Radius and Ephemeris. His research investigates the connection between Stars and topics such as Amplitude that intersect with issues in Wavelength, Doppler effect and Line. When carried out as part of a general Astronomy research project, his work on James Webb Space Telescope, Magnitude and Neptune is frequently linked to work in European research, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets (209 citations)
  • The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) (132 citations)
  • Early 2017 observations of TRAPPIST-1 with Spitzer (85 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Exoplanet
  • Planet

His primary areas of study are Exoplanet, Planet, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Photometry. His Exoplanet study combines topics in areas such as Astrobiology and Giant planet. In his study, Orbital period is inextricably linked to Radius, which falls within the broad field of Planet.

His study in the fields of Hot Jupiter, Radial velocity, Light curve and Stellar density under the domain of Astrophysics overlaps with other disciplines such as Humanities. Many of his studies on Astronomy apply to Library science as well. His Photometry study which covers Telescope that intersects with Ephemeris.
