Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

His main research concerns Astronomy, Solar System, Nice model, Astrophysics and Jumping-Jupiter scenario. His study in Planetary migration, Jupiter, Planet, Giant planet and Planetesimal is carried out as part of his studies in Astronomy. His Jupiter study combines topics in areas such as Orbital resonance and Neptune.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Accretion, Celestial mechanics and Nice 2 model. Harold F. Levison has included themes like Asteroid, Impact crater, Comet and Late Heavy Bombardment in his Solar System study. His Nice model research incorporates themes from Trans-Neptunian object, Astrobiology and Orbital elements.

His most cited work include:

  • THE USNO-B CATALOG (2173 citations)
  • Origin of the cataclysmic Late Heavy Bombardment period of the terrestrial planets (1328 citations)
  • Origin of the cataclysmic Late Heavy Bombardment period of the terrestrial planets (1328 citations)

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

Harold F. Levison mainly investigates Astronomy, Astrobiology, Planet, Astrophysics and Solar System. His is doing research in Nice model, Planetesimal, Planetary migration, Neptune and Asteroid, both of which are found in Astronomy. His research integrates issues of Orbital resonance, Ice giant, Trans-Neptunian object, Jumping-Jupiter scenario and Minor-planet moon in his study of Nice model.

His studies deal with areas such as Late Heavy Bombardment and Giant planet as well as Astrobiology. His Planet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gravitation and Radial velocity. His Solar System research includes elements of Orbit and Orbit.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astronomy (57.29%)
  • Astrobiology (37.50%)
  • Planet (34.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astronomy (57.29%)
  • Astrobiology (37.50%)
  • Planet (34.72%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astronomy, Astrobiology, Planet, Solar System and Trojan. Harold F. Levison combines topics linked to Orbit with his work on Astronomy. His research in Astrobiology focuses on subjects like Giant planet, which are connected to Pebble accretion and Chondrite.

As a part of the same scientific family, Harold F. Levison mostly works in the field of Planet, focusing on Accretion and, on occasion, Instability and Mass distribution. His study in Solar System is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gravitation, Water ice and Asteroid. His Planetesimal research is within the category of Astrophysics.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Growing the gas-giant planets by the gradual accumulation of pebbles (198 citations)
  • Growing the terrestrial planets from the gradual accumulation of submeter-sized objects. (121 citations)
  • Growing the terrestrial planets from the gradual accumulation of submeter-sized objects. (121 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Solar System, Planet, Astronomy, Planetesimal and Astrobiology. Planetary mass, Secondary atmosphere, Lava planet and Collision is closely connected to Asteroid in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Solar System. Harold F. Levison focuses mostly in the field of Planet, narrowing it down to matters related to Accretion and, in some cases, Giant planet, Mass ratio, Mars Exploration Program and Comet.

In the field of Astronomy, his study on Formation and evolution of the Solar System, Jupiter and Gravitation overlaps with subjects such as Period. His Planetesimal study is related to the wider topic of Astrophysics. Harold F. Levison has researched Astrobiology in several fields, including Earth mass and Trojan.
