Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Emission spectrum, Active galactic nucleus, Astronomy and Quasar. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Excited state, Ionization and Balmer series. His Active galactic nucleus research incorporates themes from Line and Atomic physics.

His Doubly ionized oxygen, Reverberation mapping and Faint Object Spectrograph study in the realm of Astronomy interacts with subjects such as Partial support and Independent research. His Quasar study combines topics in areas such as Spectral line, Luminosity, Metallicity and Photoionization. His study in Spectral line is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Radiative transfer, Computational physics and Absorption spectroscopy.

His most cited work include:

  • CLOUDY 90: Numerical Simulation of Plasmas and Their Spectra (2224 citations)
  • Atomic data for astrophysics. II. New analytic fits for photoionization cross sections of atoms and ions (1427 citations)
  • Steps toward determination of the size and structure of the broad-line region in active galactic nuclei. I, an 8 month campaign of monitoring NGC 5548 with IUE (322 citations)
