Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Globular cluster, Planetary system and Star cluster are his primary areas of study. His Astrophysics study focuses mostly on Black hole, Gravitational wave, LIGO, Stars and Binary black hole. His Globular cluster study combines topics in areas such as Supernova and Stellar dynamics.

Frederic A. Rasio has included themes like Millisecond pulsar and Cluster in his Stellar dynamics study. The various areas that Frederic A. Rasio examines in his Planetary system study include Orbit, Solar System and Hamiltonian. He works mostly in the field of Planet, limiting it down to concerns involving Circular orbit and, occasionally, Eccentric Jupiter and Instability.

His most cited work include:

  • Dynamical Instabilities and the Formation of Extrasolar Planetary Systems (899 citations)
  • Dynamical Outcomes of Planet-Planet Scattering (680 citations)
  • Compact Object Modeling with the StarTrack Population Synthesis Code (536 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Globular cluster, Astronomy, Stars and Star cluster. His work investigates the relationship between Astrophysics and topics such as Cluster that intersect with problems in Statistical physics. His research integrates issues of Milky Way, White dwarf, Pulsar and Stellar dynamics in his study of Globular cluster.

His work on Stellar black hole, X-ray binary, Stellar collision and Orbital eccentricity as part of general Astronomy research is frequently linked to Orbital decay, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as Star and Mass ratio, which intersect with Stars. Frederic A. Rasio has researched Star cluster in several fields, including Metallicity, Supernova and Galaxy cluster.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (86.29%)
  • Globular cluster (42.66%)
  • Astronomy (35.71%)

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

  • Astrophysics (86.29%)
  • Globular cluster (42.66%)
  • Star cluster (25.48%)

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

Frederic A. Rasio mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Globular cluster, Star cluster, Black hole and Cluster. His Astrophysics and Milky Way, Stars, LIGO, Gravitational wave and Stellar evolution investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. His Globular cluster research includes themes of Millisecond pulsar, White dwarf, Virial theorem and Stellar dynamics.

His studies in Star cluster integrate themes in fields like Binary black hole and Supernova. His Black hole research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metallicity, Universe, Redshift and Stellar collision. His Cluster research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Planetary system, Exoplanet, Planet and Galaxy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Black holes: The next generation—repeated mergers in dense star clusters and their gravitational-wave properties (110 citations)
  • Post-Newtonian dynamics in dense star clusters: Binary black holes in the LISA band (50 citations)
  • How Initial Size Governs Core Collapse in Globular Clusters (45 citations)
