His Galaxy formation and evolution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Interstellar medium, Radio galaxy, Spiral galaxy and Virial mass.
His most cited work include:
- Energy input from quasars regulates the growth and activity of black holes and their host galaxies (2698 citations)
- An Analytical Model for Spherical Galaxies and Bulges (2352 citations)
- Modelling feedback from stars and black holes in galaxy mergers (1763 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Lars Hernquist mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Star formation.
Astrophysics is a component of his Galaxy formation and evolution, Halo, Galaxy merger, Stellar mass and Dark matter studies.
His research in Galaxy merger intersects with topics in Disc galaxy, Interacting galaxy, Bulge and Black hole.
In most of his Galaxy studies, his work intersects topics such as Stars.
His research investigates the connection between Redshift and topics such as Cold dark matter that intersect with problems in Lyman-alpha forest and Spectral line.
