- Astronomy
- Milky Way
John Kormendy mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Elliptical galaxy and Bulge.
His work is connected to Galaxy merger, Supermassive black hole, Lenticular galaxy, Velocity dispersion and M–sigma relation, as a part of Astrophysics.
His Galaxy merger research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Galaxy group and Interacting galaxy.
Galaxy formation and evolution and Brightest cluster galaxy are among the areas of Astronomy where John Kormendy concentrates his study.
His study in Galaxy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cosmology and Black hole.
His Elliptical galaxy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Accretion and Luminous infrared galaxy.
His most cited work include:
- The Demography of massive dark objects in galaxy centers (3345 citations)
- A Relationship between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity Dispersion (3321 citations)
- The Demography of Massive Dark Objects in Galaxy Centres (3251 citations)
