Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Hubble Ultra-Deep Field are his primary areas of study. M. Franx undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Population through his works. The concepts of his Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Photometry and Sigma.

His work in Redshift tackles topics such as Surface brightness which are related to areas like Accretion. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Number density and Astronomy. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Star formation, focusing on Universe and, on occasion, Cosmology.

His most cited work include:

  • UV luminosity functions at redshifts z ∼ 4 to z ∼ 10: 10,000 galaxies from HST legacy fields (924 citations)
  • UV Luminosity Functions at redshifts z~4 to z~10: 10000 Galaxies from HST Legacy Fields (882 citations)
  • UV Luminosity Functions from 132 z~7 and z~8 Lyman-Break Galaxies in the ultra-deep HUDF09 and wide-area ERS WFC3/IR Observations (619 citations)

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

M. Franx mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Star formation. M. Franx combines Astrophysics and Population in his research. His work in Stellar population, Luminosity function, Advanced Camera for Surveys, Stellar mass and Hubble Ultra-Deep Field are all subfields of Galaxy research.

His Redshift research includes elements of Fundamental plane, Photometry, Universe and Sigma. His work carried out in the field of Star formation brings together such families of science as Metallicity, Cosmic variance and Emission spectrum. M. Franx combines subjects such as Dwarf galaxy and Velocity dispersion with his study of Elliptical galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (87.50%)
  • Galaxy (68.98%)
  • Astronomy (45.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Astrophysics (87.50%)
  • Galaxy (68.98%)
  • Astronomy (45.37%)

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

M. Franx spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Luminosity function. His work on Velocity dispersion, COSMIC cancer database and Universe as part of general Astrophysics research is frequently linked to Limit and Continuum, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work in Galaxy addresses issues such as Star, which are connected to fields such as Late type.

His study in the field of Galaxy formation and evolution also crosses realms of Computer science, Art and Field. Redshift connects with themes related to Sigma in his study. His studies in Luminosity function integrate themes in fields like Magnitude, Disc, Elliptical galaxy and Luminous infrared galaxy.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • UV luminosity functions at redshifts z ∼ 4 to z ∼ 10: 10,000 galaxies from HST legacy fields (924 citations)
  • UV Luminosity Functions at redshifts z~4 to z~10: 10000 Galaxies from HST Legacy Fields (882 citations)
  • THE MOST LUMINOUS z ∼ 9-10 GALAXY CANDIDATES YET FOUND: THE LUMINOSITY FUNCTION, COSMIC STAR-FORMATION RATE, AND THE FIRST MASS DENSITY ESTIMATE AT 500 Myr* (258 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

His primary areas of study are Galaxy, Astrophysics, Redshift, Astronomy and Luminosity function. M. Franx studied Galaxy and Stars that intersect with Spectral energy distribution. His work on Luminosity, Star formation, Star and Cosmic variance as part of his general Astrophysics study is frequently connected to Production efficiency, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Star research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Universe, Quasar, Radio galaxy and Gravitational lens. His Cosmic variance research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dark Ages, Halo, Halo mass function and Sigma. His study in Astronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Line and Ionization.
