Heike Rauer is affiliated with Freie Universität Berlin in Germany and works primarily in the field of Physics and Astronomy. Their scientific contributions cover a broad spectrum within this area, with particular emphasis on Astronomy and Astrophysics, where they have published extensively.

The research focus includes topics related to stellar, planetary, and galactic studies, as well as astro and planetary science. These subjects are complemented by work in astronomy and astrophysical research, astrophysics and star formation studies, gamma-ray bursts and supernovae, solar and space plasma dynamics, and atmospheric ozone and climate.

Frequent publication venues for their work include:

  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Repository for Publications and Research Data (ETH Zurich)
  • Experimental Astronomy

Selected recent papers by Heike Rauer encompass a variety of topics within exoplanetary research and atmospheric studies:

  • "Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE)" (2022), published in Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • "Mantle redox state drives outgassing chemistry and atmospheric composition of rocky planets" (2020), published in Scientific Reports
  • "Analysis of Early Science observations with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) using pycheops" (2021), published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • "GJ 367b: A dense, ultrashort-period sub-Earth planet transiting a nearby red dwarf star" (2021), published in Science
  • "An ultrahot Neptune in the Neptune desert" (2020), published by Apollo (University of Cambridge)

Their collaborations include frequent co-authors such as I. Pagano, G. Piotto, Demetrio Magrin, D. Gandolfi, and D. Queloz.

In addition to journal articles, Heike Rauer has contributed to book publications, including a title published by Elsevier BV titled "Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061" released in 2022.

Their subfields of study extend beyond core astronomy to include instrumentation, aerospace engineering, oceanography, and atmospheric science, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to planetary and astrophysical research.
