Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Supernova

John C Wheeler spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Astronomy and Galaxy. His study brings together the fields of Spectral line and Astrophysics. His study in Spectral line is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gamma-ray burst and Spiral galaxy.

His Supernova study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pulsar, Chandrasekhar limit, Neutron star and Baryon acoustic oscillations. His Light curve study combines topics in areas such as Magnetar, Solar mass and White dwarf. His Stellar evolution, Type II supernova and Observatory study, which is part of a larger body of work in Astronomy, is frequently linked to X-ray astronomy, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • First-Year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters (636 citations)
  • First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters (626 citations)
  • The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Technical Summary (382 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Supernova, Astronomy, Light curve and Spectral line. His work is connected to Ejecta, Gamma-ray burst, Galaxy, Luminosity and Redshift, as a part of Astrophysics. When carried out as part of a general Gamma-ray burst research project, his work on Afterglow is frequently linked to work in Optical emission spectroscopy, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His studies in Supernova integrate themes in fields like Infrared and White dwarf. The concepts of his Light curve study are interwoven with issues in Magnetar, Ultraviolet and Photometry. His Spectral line research includes themes of Line and Ionization.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (86.71%)
  • Supernova (63.99%)
  • Astronomy (32.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (86.71%)
  • Supernova (63.99%)
  • Astronomy (32.17%)

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

Astrophysics, Supernova, Astronomy, Ejecta and Light curve are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Spectral line and Ultraviolet in his study of Astrophysics. His work on Photosphere as part of general Spectral line research is frequently linked to Absorption, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Supernova research is mostly focused on the topic Pair-instability supernova. In his research, Supernova remnant is intimately related to Isotopologue, which falls under the overarching field of Ejecta. His work carried out in the field of Light curve brings together such families of science as Very large array, Jansky, Archaeology and Optical spectra.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Spectroscopy of superluminous supernova host galaxies. A preference of hydrogen-poor events for extreme emission line galaxies (188 citations)
  • The superluminous transient ASASSN-15lh as a tidal disruption event from a Kerr black hole (152 citations)
  • XIPE: the x-ray imaging polarimetry explorer (143 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Supernova

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Supernova, Spectral line, Astronomy and Light curve. His study in Luminosity, Rotating black hole, Black hole, Supermassive black hole and Tidal disruption event falls under the purview of Astrophysics. John C Wheeler works on Supernova which deals in particular with Ejecta.

He frequently studies issues relating to Nucleosynthesis and Spectral line. His work in the fields of Spectral resolution, Vega, Observatory and X-ray telescope overlaps with other areas such as X-ray optics. The various areas that John C Wheeler examines in his Galaxy study include Stars and Wavelength.
