Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Galaxy
Astrophysics

Frank J. Masci mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Infrared and Redshift. His works in Luminous infrared galaxy, Active galactic nucleus, Luminosity, Supernova and Light curve are all subjects of inquiry into Astrophysics. The various areas that Frank J. Masci examines in his Supernova study include Schmidt camera, Field of view and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

His Galaxy study frequently involves adjacent topics like Photometry. His studies deal with areas such as Spectral energy distribution, Effective temperature, Centaur, Data reduction and Data set as well as Infrared. The concepts of his Redshift study are interwoven with issues in Optical imaging and Wide field.

His most cited work include:

The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) (2007 citations)
SWIRE: The SIRTF Wide‐Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey (658 citations)
Obscured and unobscured active galactic nuclei in the Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey (655 citations)

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

Frank J. Masci focuses on Astrophysics, Supernova, Astronomy, Galaxy and Light curve. His Astrophysics research includes elements of Spectral line and Infrared. His research in Infrared intersects with topics in Nova and Spitzer Space Telescope.

His study on Ejecta is often connected to Type as part of broader study in Supernova. His Light curve research incorporates elements of Balmer series, Emission spectrum, Spectroscopy, Photometry and Gamma-ray burst. Frank J. Masci has included themes like Gravitational wave and Telescope in his Sky study.

He most often published in these fields:

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Spectral line and Ejecta. White dwarf, Galaxy, Luminosity, Stars and Photometry are among the areas of Astrophysics where he concentrates his study. His study ties his expertise on Sky together with the subject of Galaxy.

His Supernova research includes themes of Redshift, Brightness and Radius. His Light curve study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Balmer series, Emission spectrum, Spectroscopy, Absolute magnitude and Gamma-ray burst. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Ejecta, concentrating on Low Mass and intersecting with Polar, Opacity, Intermediate polar, Milky Way and Spiral galaxy.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational-Wave Event S190521g. (74 citations)
Seventeen Tidal Disruption Events from the First Half of ZTF Survey Observations: Entering a New Era of Population Studies (58 citations)
Type IIn supernova light-curve properties measured from an untargeted survey sample (25 citations)

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

Astronomy
Astrophysics
Galaxy

Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Galaxy and White dwarf are his primary areas of study. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Astrophysics, focusing on Spectral line and, on occasion, Ultraviolet. Frank J. Masci interconnects Stars, Brightness, Flash and Supermassive black hole in the investigation of issues within Supernova.

His Light curve research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Infrared telescope and Near-infrared spectroscopy. His work in the fields of Redshift, Absolute magnitude and Active galactic nucleus overlaps with other areas such as Significant difference and Demographics. In his study, Sky is strongly linked to Universe, which falls under the umbrella field of Redshift.
