Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Jupiter
  • Solar System

M. K. Dougherty spends much of his time researching Magnetosphere, Saturn, Magnetosphere of Saturn, Geophysics and Astrophysics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Computational physics and Ionosphere, Astronomy, Planet, Titan in addition to Magnetosphere. His work focuses on many connections between Saturn and other disciplines, such as Enceladus, that overlap with his field of interest in Plasmasphere, Atomic physics, Panache and Jet.

His Magnetosphere of Saturn research integrates issues from Ring current, Magnetosphere of Jupiter and Current sheet. His Geophysics research incorporates elements of Field line, Magnetic reconnection, Plume and Plasma sheet. M. K. Dougherty focuses mostly in the field of Astrophysics, narrowing it down to matters related to Amplitude and, in some cases, Orbiter and Rotational speed.

His most cited work include:

  • JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE): An ESA mission to orbit Ganymede and to characterise the Jupiter system (277 citations)
  • Cassini Measurements of Cold Plasma in the Ionosphere of Titan (167 citations)
  • Morphological differences between Saturn's ultraviolet aurorae and those of Earth and Jupiter (139 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Magnetosphere, Astronomy, Saturn, Astrophysics and Astrobiology. His study in Magnetosphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Solar wind, Geophysics, Ionosphere and Jovian. His Astronomy research includes elements of Energetic neutral atom and Bow shock.

As a part of the same scientific family, M. K. Dougherty mostly works in the field of Saturn, focusing on Enceladus and, on occasion, Plume. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Amplitude, Magnetosheath and Spacecraft. His research in Magnetosphere of Saturn intersects with topics in Rotation period and Magnetosphere of Jupiter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Magnetosphere (46.67%)
  • Astronomy (44.33%)
  • Saturn (34.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Saturn (34.00%)
  • Astronomy (44.33%)
  • Magnetosphere (46.67%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Saturn, Astronomy, Magnetosphere, Astrophysics and Saturn. His Saturn research incorporates themes from Magnetosheath, Ionosphere, Geophysics, Amplitude and Solar wind. His research in Astronomy focuses on subjects like Bow shock, which are connected to Mach number.

M. K. Dougherty studies Magnetopause, a branch of Magnetosphere. His work on Planet as part of general Astrophysics study is frequently linked to Magnetic phase, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Jovian, Icy moon and Jupiter.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE): An ESA mission to orbit Ganymede and to characterise the Jupiter system (277 citations)
  • Planetary period magnetic field oscillations in Saturn's magnetosphere: Postequinox abrupt nonmonotonic transitions to northern system dominance (55 citations)
  • Planetary period oscillations in Saturn's magnetosphere: Comparison of magnetic oscillations and SKR modulations in the postequinox interval (46 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

His primary scientific interests are in Saturn, Magnetosphere, Astronomy, Solar wind and Ionosphere. His Saturn research is under the purview of Astrophysics. M. K. Dougherty does research in Magnetosphere, focusing on Magnetopause specifically.

His Astronomy study incorporates themes from Magnetohydrodynamic drive and Quasi periodic. His biological study deals with issues like Titan, which deal with fields such as Solar System. His study focuses on the intersection of Ionosphere and fields such as Orbit with connections in the field of Magnetometer.
