Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

E.P.J. van den Heuvel spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, Neutron star, Galaxy and Stars. His works in Gamma-ray burst, Metallicity, Supernova, X-ray binary and White dwarf are all subjects of inquiry into Astrophysics. E.P.J. van den Heuvel works mostly in the field of Gamma-ray burst, limiting it down to topics relating to Redshift and, in certain cases, Extinction and Afterglow, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Pulsar, Emission spectrum, Accretion, Low Mass and Globular cluster study are his primary interests in Astronomy. His Neutron star research incorporates themes from Field strength and Binary star. When carried out as part of a general Galaxy research project, his work on Luminosity and Quasar is frequently linked to work in System parameters, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Formation and evolution of binary and millisecond radio pulsars (895 citations)
  • Common envelope evolution: where we stand and how we can move forward (597 citations)
  • Common Envelope Evolution: Where we stand and how we can move forward (584 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Astronomy, Neutron star, Gamma-ray burst and Pulsar. His Astrophysics study is mostly concerned with Binary star, Galaxy, X-ray binary, Stars and Supernova. His study involves Stellar evolution, Compact star, Stellar mass loss, Stellar black hole and White dwarf, a branch of Astronomy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Globular cluster, Gravitational wave, Orbital period and Black hole in addition to Neutron star. His Gamma-ray burst study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Extinction, Spectral energy distribution, Light curve and Redshift. E.P.J. van den Heuvel focuses mostly in the field of Pulsar, narrowing it down to matters related to Accretion and, in some cases, Roche lobe.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (93.09%)
  • Astronomy (61.84%)
  • Neutron star (30.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (93.09%)
  • Astronomy (61.84%)
  • Neutron star (30.92%)

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

E.P.J. van den Heuvel mainly investigates Astrophysics, Astronomy, Neutron star, Galaxy and Stars. Astrophysics is a component of his Supernova, Gamma-ray burst, Stellar evolution, Black hole and Luminosity studies. His Neutron star research includes elements of Mass distribution, Pulsar and LIGO.

His Millisecond pulsar study, which is part of a larger body of work in Pulsar, is frequently linked to Degenerate energy levels and Helium, bridging the gap between disciplines. As a member of one scientific family, E.P.J. van den Heuvel mostly works in the field of Galaxy, focusing on Wolf–Rayet star and, on occasion, Mass ratio. In his study, X-ray burster is inextricably linked to Stellar black hole, which falls within the broad field of X-ray binary.

Between 2004 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Common envelope evolution: where we stand and how we can move forward (597 citations)
  • Common Envelope Evolution: Where we stand and how we can move forward (584 citations)
  • Formation of Double Neutron Star Systems (298 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, X-ray binary and Neutron star. His study in Supernova, Stellar evolution, Luminosity, Globular cluster and Galactic plane is carried out as part of his studies in Astrophysics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including LIGO, Radial velocity, Large Magellanic Cloud, Gamma-ray burst and Stellar mass.

His study in Astronomy focuses on Pulsar, Black hole, Accretion, Orbital period and Common envelope. His studies in Black hole integrate themes in fields like Compact star, Mass ratio and Wolf–Rayet star. His Orbital period study combines topics in areas such as Roche lobe and Angular momentum.
