Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Dark matter and Redshift. His works in Galaxy formation and evolution, Halo, Star formation, Cold dark matter and Galaxy merger are all subjects of inquiry into Astrophysics. His Cold dark matter research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hot dark matter and Galaxy groups and clusters.

His Galaxy research focuses on Stars and how it relates to Virial mass and Radiation pressure. His research in Dark matter intersects with topics in Dark matter halo, Galactic halo, Scalar field dark matter, Cuspy halo problem and Galaxy rotation curve. Joel R. Primack interconnects Cosmology, Universe, Stellar mass and Sigma in the investigation of issues within Redshift.

His most cited work include:

  • Profiles of dark haloes: evolution, scatter and environment (1980 citations)
  • Star Formation in AEGIS Field Galaxies since z = 1.1: The Dominance of Gradually Declining Star Formation, and the Main Sequence of Star-forming Galaxies (1619 citations)
  • CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (1588 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Dark matter. Galaxy formation and evolution, Star formation, Halo, Stellar mass and Cold dark matter are the core of his Astrophysics study. His research integrates issues of Hot dark matter, Warm dark matter and Galaxy groups and clusters in his study of Cold dark matter.

His study ties his expertise on Stars together with the subject of Galaxy. His Redshift research includes elements of Photometry, Low Mass and Sigma. The concepts of his Dark matter study are interwoven with issues in Dark matter halo, Cosmology, Galaxy rotation curve, Universe and Structure formation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (89.82%)
  • Galaxy (63.45%)
  • Redshift (36.00%)

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

  • Astrophysics (89.82%)
  • Galaxy (63.45%)
  • Redshift (36.00%)

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

Joel R. Primack mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Star formation and Stellar mass. Joel R. Primack works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to concerns involving Astronomy and, occasionally, Instability. His research investigates the link between Galaxy and topics such as Stars that cross with problems in Radiation pressure.

His Redshift research also works with subjects such as

  • COSMIC cancer database which connect with Coalescence,
  • Photometry that intertwine with fields like Hubble Ultra-Deep Field. His studies deal with areas such as Spectral energy distribution, Supernova, Active galactic nucleus, Luminosity and Quasar as well as Star formation. His Stellar mass study combines topics in areas such as Milky Way, Stellar evolution and Dwarf galaxy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Compaction and quenching of high-z galaxies in cosmological simulations: blue and red nuggets (315 citations)
  • Bulge growth and quenching since z = 2.5 in CANDELS/3D-HST (249 citations)
  • Four phases of angular-momentum buildup in high-z galaxies: from cosmic-web streams through an extended ring to disc and bulge (213 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Star formation. His work in the fields of Astrophysics, such as Galaxy formation and evolution, Elliptical galaxy, Galaxy merger and Active galactic nucleus, overlaps with other areas such as Population. In his study, Radiation pressure is strongly linked to Stars, which falls under the umbrella field of Galaxy.

The Redshift study combines topics in areas such as Luminosity, Star and Sigma. As a member of one scientific family, Joel R. Primack mostly works in the field of Astronomy, focusing on Instability and, on occasion, Nonlinear system. The study incorporates disciplines such as Virial theorem, Dark matter and Angular momentum in addition to Halo.
