Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Dwarf galaxy and Milky Way are his primary areas of study. His Astrophysics study typically links adjacent topics like Far infrared. While the research belongs to areas of Galaxy, he spends his time largely on the problem of Sky, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Observatory, Redshift, Active galactic nucleus, Weak gravitational lensing and Dark energy.

His Dwarf galaxy research also works with subjects such as

  • Dark matter halo most often made with reference to Galaxy group,
  • Globular cluster, which have a strong connection to Velocity dispersion. Joshua D. Simon works mostly in the field of Milky Way, limiting it down to topics relating to Red-giant branch and, in certain cases, Absolute magnitude. The concepts of his Stars study are interwoven with issues in Shock wave and Luminosity function.

His most cited work include:

  • LSST Science Book, Version 2.0 (1027 citations)
  • The Kinematics of the Ultra-faint Milky Way Satellites: Solving the Missing Satellite Problem (875 citations)
  • The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (753 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Dwarf galaxy, Astronomy and Milky Way. His works in Metallicity, Stars, Dark matter, Supernova and Halo are all subjects of inquiry into Astrophysics. His work focuses on many connections between Dark matter and other disciplines, such as Galaxy rotation curve, that overlap with his field of interest in Dark matter halo.

The Galaxy study which covers Sky that intersects with Observatory. His Dwarf galaxy research integrates issues from Globular cluster, Red-giant branch and Galaxy formation and evolution, Galaxy group. His Milky Way study incorporates themes from Stellar population, Stellar mass and Galactic halo.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (88.99%)
  • Galaxy (52.29%)
  • Dwarf galaxy (45.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (88.99%)
  • Galaxy (52.29%)
  • Dwarf galaxy (45.26%)

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

Joshua D. Simon mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Dwarf galaxy, Dark matter and Astronomy. His research in Stars, Milky Way, Metallicity, Halo and Observatory are components of Astrophysics. Joshua D. Simon combines subjects such as Light curve and Supernova with his study of Galaxy.

His Dwarf galaxy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stellar population, Star formation, Cold dark matter and Dark matter halo. His study on Dark matter also encompasses disciplines like

  • Low Mass and related Galaxy rotation curve and Cosmic web,
  • Universe that connect with fields like Galaxy formation and evolution,
  • Field spectroscopy and Halo mass function most often made with reference to Quasar. His work on International Pulsar Timing Array and Hubble space telescope is typically connected to Geology, Census and Engineering as part of general Astronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The 16th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra (221 citations)
  • The Sixteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra (192 citations)
  • The Faintest Dwarf Galaxies (134 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Joshua D. Simon mostly deals with Astrophysics, Observatory, Galaxy, Pulsar and Gravitational wave. Astrophysics is frequently linked to Spectral line in his study. His Observatory research is included under the broader classification of Astronomy.

Joshua D. Simon studies Astronomy, focusing on Luminosity function in particular. His work in Dwarf galaxy and Luminosity is related to Galaxy. His Milky Way research extends to the thematically linked field of Dwarf galaxy.
