Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Solar System

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Comet, Astrobiology and Pluto are his primary areas of study. His study in Astrophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spectral line, Far ultraviolet and Breakup. His Spectral line study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Halley's Comet and Analytical chemistry.

His study in the fields of Comet nucleus under the domain of Comet overlaps with other disciplines such as Chemical composition. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glacial period, Haze, Infrared and Tectonics. His Pluto research includes themes of Atmosphere, Impact crater, Dwarf planet, Solar System and Neptune.

His most cited work include:

  • Overview of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Mission (636 citations)
  • On-Orbit Performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Satellite (466 citations)
  • On-Orbit Performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Satellite (444 citations)

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

Harold A. Weaver focuses on Astronomy, Astrobiology, Pluto, Comet and Astrophysics. His study ties his expertise on ALICE together with the subject of Astronomy. Harold A. Weaver integrates Astrobiology and Environmental science in his research.

He has researched Pluto in several fields, including Haze, Atmosphere, Impact crater and Surface. Harold A. Weaver has included themes like Spectroscopy, Infrared, Coma, Ultraviolet and Infrared spectroscopy in his Comet study. His Astrophysics study incorporates themes from Spectral line, Radius, Brightness and Asteroid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astronomy (36.66%)
  • Astrobiology (32.96%)
  • Pluto (32.75%)

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

  • Pluto (32.75%)
  • New horizons (18.13%)
  • Astrophysics (27.70%)

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

His main research concerns Pluto, New horizons, Astrophysics, Astrobiology and Astronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Brightness, Atmosphere, Impact crater and Atmospheric sciences as well as Pluto. In the subject of general Astrophysics, his work in Comet, Interstellar comet, Photometry and Hubble space telescope is often linked to Sublimation, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His work deals with themes such as Albedo and Coma, which intersect with Comet. He is studying Tholin, which is a component of Astrobiology. His research investigates the link between Astronomy and topics such as Solar wind that cross with problems in Cosmic ray and Interstellar medium.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt object (75 citations)
  • Impact craters on Pluto and Charon indicate a deficit of small Kuiper belt objects (71 citations)
  • Impact Craters on Pluto and Charon Indicate a Deficit of Small Kuiper Belt Objects (65 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Astrophysics

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Pluto, New horizons, Solar System and Astrobiology. His work in the fields of Comet, Interstellar comet, Stars and Occultation overlaps with other areas such as Sublimation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmosphere, Impact crater, Terrain, Brightness and Lithosphere.

The Formation and evolution of the Solar System research Harold A. Weaver does as part of his general Solar System study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Contact binary, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Lineation, Far side of the Moon, Fracture, Orbital eccentricity and Canyon. Pebble is closely connected to Solar wind in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Astronomy.
