Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

Luciano Nicastro mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma-ray burst, Afterglow and GRB 980425. Light curve, Galaxy, Astrometry, Redshift and Sky are subfields of Astrophysics in which his conducts study. His studies in Astrometry integrate themes in fields like Open cluster, Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, Photometry, Proper motion and Data release.

His Gamma-ray burst research incorporates themes from Radius, Supernova, Brewster's angle, Spectral line and Event. His Afterglow research focuses on X-ray and how it relates to Jet. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including GRB 970508 and GRB 030329.

His most cited work include:

  • Gaia Data Release 2 Summary of the contents and survey properties (5259 citations)
  • The Gaia mission (3296 citations)
  • Gaia Data Release 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties (1823 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Gamma-ray burst, Astronomy, Afterglow and Telescope. His Astrophysics study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as X-ray. His Gamma-ray burst research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Redshift, Photon, Wide field, Spectral line and Event.

His work is connected to Sky, Observatory, Neutron star, Satellite and Supernova, as a part of Astronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Polarization and Remote sensing as well as Sky. His work on Millisecond pulsar and Binary pulsar as part of general Pulsar research is frequently linked to Phase, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (77.28%)
  • Gamma-ray burst (44.32%)
  • Astronomy (36.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (77.28%)
  • Astronomy (36.13%)
  • LIGO (4.84%)

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

Astrophysics, Astronomy, LIGO, Astrometry and Gravitational wave are his primary areas of study. His study in Galaxy, Stars, Gamma ray, Open cluster and Supernova are all subfields of Astrophysics. His Galaxy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spectral line and Radial velocity.

Luciano Nicastro mostly deals with Gamma-ray burst in his studies of Astronomy. As a member of one scientific family, Luciano Nicastro mostly works in the field of Gamma-ray burst, focusing on Telescope and, on occasion, Redshift and Detector. In his work, Apparent magnitude is strongly intertwined with Photometry, which is a subfield of Astrometry.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gaia Data Release 2 Summary of the contents and survey properties (5259 citations)
  • The Gaia mission (3296 citations)
  • Gaia Data Release 1 Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties (1823 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astrometry, Astronomy, Galaxy and Gravitational wave. His study involves Stars, Gamma ray, Sky, Neutron star and Open cluster, a branch of Astrophysics. His research in Astrometry intersects with topics in Large Magellanic Cloud, Star cluster, Photometry and Proper motion.

His studies in Gamma-ray burst, Guide star and Limiting magnitude are all subfields of Astronomy research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neutrino, Universe and Cosmic Vision in addition to Gamma-ray burst. His Galaxy research integrates issues from Spectral line and Radial velocity.
