Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astrophysics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Maser, Galaxy and Event Horizon Telescope. His study in Black hole, Active galactic nucleus, Submillimeter Array, Galactic Center and Very-long-baseline interferometry is carried out as part of his studies in Astrophysics. His Maser research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sky, Hubble sequence, Spectral line, Galaxy rotation curve and Outflow.

James M. Moran has researched Galaxy in several fields, including Geometric distance and Proper motion. His studies deal with areas such as Brightness, Schwarzschild radius and Quasar as well as Event Horizon Telescope. His study focuses on the intersection of Event horizon and fields such as Rotating black hole with connections in the field of General relativity.

His most cited work include:

  • Interferometry and Synthesis in Radio Astronomy (1579 citations)
  • First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole (1011 citations)
  • Evidence for a black hole from high rotation velocities in a sub-parsec region of NGC4258 (953 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Maser, Very-long-baseline interferometry and Galaxy. His research ties Spectral line and Astrophysics together. The Maser study which covers Outflow that intersects with Bipolar outflow.

His work deals with themes such as Brightness and Quasar, which intersect with Very-long-baseline interferometry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Schwarzschild radius and Galactic Center in addition to Supermassive black hole. The Submillimeter Array study combines topics in areas such as Wavelength and Millimeter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (72.46%)
  • Astronomy (45.29%)
  • Maser (43.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (72.46%)
  • Event Horizon Telescope (12.38%)
  • Supermassive black hole (10.54%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Event Horizon Telescope, Supermassive black hole, Very-long-baseline interferometry and Astronomy. Galactic Center, Schwarzschild radius, Galaxy, Submillimeter Array and Maser are among the areas of Astrophysics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Event Horizon Telescope study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Amplitude, General relativity and Position angle.

As part of the same scientific family, James M. Moran usually focuses on Supermassive black hole, concentrating on Active galactic nucleus and intersecting with Cepheid variable. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Brightness, Brightness temperature, Quasar and Flux. As a part of the same scientific study, James M. Moran usually deals with the Astronomy, concentrating on Polarimetry and frequently concerns with Radio astronomy.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole (1011 citations)
  • First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole (402 citations)
  • First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. The Shadow and Mass of the Central Black Hole (402 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astrophysics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Event Horizon Telescope, Supermassive black hole, Event horizon and Black hole. His work is connected to Galactic Center, Schwarzschild radius, Galaxy, Very-long-baseline interferometry and Active galactic nucleus, as a part of Astrophysics. James M. Moran combines subjects such as Maser and Cepheid variable with his study of Active galactic nucleus.

His research integrates issues of Amplitude, General relativity, Radio galaxy and Angular diameter in his study of Event Horizon Telescope. His work carried out in the field of Supermassive black hole brings together such families of science as Wavelength, Quasar, Interferometry, Submillimeter Array and Millimeter. His Quasar study is concerned with the larger field of Astronomy.
