Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astrophysics
  • Astronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Planck, Galaxy, Cosmic microwave background and Redshift. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Astrophysics and Planck temperature in his work. His Planck research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sky, Polarization, Cluster, Cosmic background radiation and Non-Gaussianity.

His Cosmic microwave background research incorporates themes from Dark energy, Hubble's law, Gravitational lens and Spectral density. George Efstathiou combines subjects such as Omega, Structure formation and Velocity dispersion with his study of Redshift. George Efstathiou has included themes like Neutrino and Dark matter in his Cosmology study.

His most cited work include:

  • Planck 2015 results. XIII. Cosmological parameters (8801 citations)
  • Planck 2015 results - XIII. Cosmological parameters (7454 citations)
  • Planck 2013 results. XVI. Cosmological parameters (5781 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Planck, Astronomy and Cosmic microwave background. Astrophysics and Spectral density are frequently intertwined in his study. His is doing research in 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, Luminosity, Luminosity function, Galaxy formation and evolution and Galaxy groups and clusters, both of which are found in Galaxy.

His work in Planck addresses issues such as Molecular cloud, which are connected to fields such as Interstellar medium. His Cosmic microwave background research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cosmology and Dark energy. His Redshift research includes elements of Omega, Amplitude, Star formation, Quasar and Velocity dispersion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (89.07%)
  • Galaxy (38.00%)
  • Planck (37.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Planck (37.07%)
  • Astrophysics (89.07%)
  • Cosmic microwave background (33.07%)

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

George Efstathiou focuses on Planck, Astrophysics, Cosmic microwave background, Planck temperature and Polarization. The various areas that he examines in his Planck study include Redshift, Sky, Spectral density, Cosmology and Cosmic background radiation. His Cosmology research incorporates elements of Neutrino and Particle physics.

George Efstathiou has researched Astrophysics in several fields, including Spectral line and Astronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Amplitude, Weak gravitational lensing, Reionization and Bispectrum as well as Cosmic microwave background. His study in Polarization is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cosmic dust, Gravitational wave and Interstellar medium.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Planck 2015 results. XIII. Cosmological parameters (8801 citations)
  • Planck 2015 results - XIII. Cosmological parameters (7454 citations)
  • Planck 2018 results. VI. Cosmological parameters (2931 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Astrophysics

George Efstathiou spends much of his time researching Planck, Astrophysics, Planck temperature, Cosmic microwave background and Polarization. His study on Planck also encompasses disciplines like

  • Bispectrum and related Non-Gaussianity,
  • Hubble's law that connect with fields like Dark matter. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cosmic background radiation and Spectral density in addition to Astrophysics.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Galaxy, Redshift, Reionization, Spectral line and Estimator. He works mostly in the field of Redshift, limiting it down to topics relating to Lambda-CDM model and, in certain cases, Structure formation. His Polarization study incorporates themes from Galactic plane, Astronomy, Flux and Noise.
