Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

James Liebert spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, Brown dwarf, Stars and Sky. His research on Astrophysics often connects related areas such as Spectral line. The study incorporates disciplines such as Circumbinary planet, Magnitude and Proper motion in addition to Brown dwarf.

James Liebert has researched Proper motion in several fields, including Zone of Avoidance, Monoceros Ring, Cygnus OB2 and New Technology Telescope. His Sky research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectroscopy and Point source. His White dwarf research integrates issues from Stellar evolution, Surface gravity and Stellar atmosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) (9773 citations)
  • Dwarfs Cooler Than M: The Definition of Spectral Type L Using Discoveries from the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) (891 citations)
  • The theory of brown dwarfs and extrasolar giant planets (622 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, White dwarf, Stars and Brown dwarf. James Liebert works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to concerns involving Spectral line and, occasionally, Line. Astronomy is a component of his Proper motion, Blue dwarf, Photometry, Astronomical spectroscopy and Main sequence studies.

His work is dedicated to discovering how White dwarf, Binary star are connected with Radial velocity and Light curve and other disciplines. The various areas that James Liebert examines in his Stars study include Spectroscopy and Galaxy. The Brown dwarf study combines topics in areas such as Circumbinary planet and Low Mass.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (96.97%)
  • Astronomy (65.58%)
  • White dwarf (51.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2017)?

  • Astrophysics (96.97%)
  • White dwarf (51.30%)
  • Astronomy (65.58%)

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

Astrophysics, White dwarf, Astronomy, Sky and Stars are his primary areas of study. Astrophysics and Spectral line are commonly linked in his work. James Liebert combines subjects such as Effective temperature, Helium, Surface gravity, Zeeman effect and Stellar evolution with his study of White dwarf.

His study looks at the intersection of Sky and topics like Point source with Celestial sphere. His work deals with themes such as Star and Emission spectrum, which intersect with Stars. His research in Brown dwarf intersects with topics in Metallicity and Galaxy.

Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) (9773 citations)
  • A Catalog of Spectroscopically Confirmed White Dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (369 citations)
  • A Catalog of Spectroscopically Confirmed White Dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (362 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Sky, Stars and White dwarf. His Astrophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Spectroscopy. His work carried out in the field of Sky brings together such families of science as Primary, Proper motion and Point source.

His research integrates issues of Zone of Avoidance, Monoceros Ring, Cygnus OB2 and New Technology Telescope in his study of Proper motion. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of White dwarf, focusing on Stellar evolution and, on occasion, Abundance of the chemical elements and Instability strip. His Stellar classification research focuses on Main sequence and how it relates to Black dwarf.
