Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Quasar, Sky, Astronomy and Redshift. All of his Astrophysics and Galaxy, Stars, Photometry, Luminosity and Active galactic nucleus investigations are sub-components of the entire Astrophysics study. His studies deal with areas such as Astrometry and Open cluster as well as Galaxy.

His Quasar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Continuum, Luminosity function, Extinction and Spectral line, Emission spectrum. His study in Sky is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Redshift survey and Observatory. In the field of Redshift, his study on Reionization overlaps with subjects such as Boss.

His most cited work include:

  • The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical summary (8500 citations)
  • The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (4732 citations)
  • The host galaxies of active galactic nuclei (3039 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Quasar, Astronomy, Redshift and Sky. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spectral line and Emission spectrum. His research in Spectral line intersects with topics in Absorption, Absorption spectroscopy and Continuum.

The various areas that Gordon T. Richards examines in his Quasar study include Stars, Photometry, Cosmology, Black hole and Gravitational lens. His Redshift research incorporates themes from Line, Equivalent width and Magnitude. His Sky research incorporates elements of Lens and Telescope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (103.07%)
  • Quasar (89.59%)
  • Astronomy (53.54%)

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

  • Astrophysics (103.07%)
  • Quasar (89.59%)
  • Redshift (51.80%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Quasar, Redshift, Astronomy and Spectral line. His Astrophysics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Photon. His Quasar study combines topics in areas such as Line, Cluster analysis, Black hole and Emission spectrum.

His Redshift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Doubly ionized oxygen, COSMIC cancer database, Star formation, Luminous infrared galaxy and Blazar. His work deals with themes such as Cherenkov Telescope Array and Near-infrared spectroscopy, which intersect with Astronomy. Gordon T. Richards interconnects Stars and Photometry in the investigation of issues within Sky.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • THE DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST “CHANGING LOOK” QUASAR: NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE PHYSICS AND PHENOMENOLOGY OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI (270 citations)
  • Active galactic nuclei: what’s in a name? (238 citations)
  • THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY REVERBERATION MAPPING PROJECT: VELOCITY SHIFTS OF QUASAR EMISSION LINES (118 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

Gordon T. Richards mostly deals with Astrophysics, Quasar, Redshift, Sky and Astronomy. His Astrophysics study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Photon. His Quasar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Radio galaxy, Spectral line, Emission spectrum, Photometry and Black hole.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Line, Spectroscopy and Cluster analysis in addition to Redshift. The concepts of his Sky study are interwoven with issues in Reverberation mapping, Amplitude, Remote sensing and Stars. His Astronomy research includes themes of Cherenkov radiation and Blazar.
