Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Radio galaxy, Quasar and Active galactic nucleus. His Astrophysics study frequently links to other fields, such as Cosmic microwave background. His study on X-shaped radio galaxy, Sky, Gravitational lens and Luminous infrared galaxy is often connected to Survey research as part of broader study in Astronomy.

His Radio galaxy research incorporates themes from X-ray and Synchrotron. His research integrates issues of Compton scattering, Telescope, Galactic astronomy, Observatory and Equipartition theorem in his study of Quasar. The Active galactic nucleus study combines topics in areas such as Cosmic ray and Spectral index.

His most cited work include:

  • The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect (695 citations)
  • BLAZARS IN THE FERMI ERA: THE OVRO 40 m TELESCOPE MONITORING PROGRAM (407 citations)
  • The Detection of a Population of Submillimeter-Bright, Strongly Lensed Galaxies (362 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Radio galaxy and Redshift. Mark Birkinshaw has included themes like Jet and Cosmic microwave background in his Astrophysics study. His Cosmic microwave background study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Compton scattering and Telescope.

As part of his studies on Galaxy, Mark Birkinshaw often connects relevant subjects like Sky. The various areas that Mark Birkinshaw examines in his Radio galaxy study include Electron, Particle acceleration, Equipartition theorem, Synchrotron and Surface brightness. In his research on the topic of Quasar, Radio spectrum is strongly related with Lorentz factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (103.91%)
  • Astronomy (52.05%)
  • Galaxy (37.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (103.91%)
  • Galaxy (37.18%)
  • Redshift (24.66%)

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

Mark Birkinshaw mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Star formation. His study brings together the fields of Jet and Astrophysics. His Galaxy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Planck and Core.

His work carried out in the field of Redshift brings together such families of science as X-ray and Halo. Mark Birkinshaw combines subjects such as Compton scattering and Cosmic microwave background with his study of Quasar. His Radio galaxy research includes themes of Intergalactic travel and Luminosity.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: 850 μm maps, catalogues and number counts (204 citations)
  • The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS). Science case and survey design (90 citations)
  • The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS). Science Case and Survey Design (79 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Cosmic microwave background. His Jet research extends to Astrophysics, which is thematically connected. His Jet study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Kinetic energy, Active galactic nucleus, Ram pressure and Shock.

His work in the fields of Very large array, Jansky, Galaxy formation and evolution and Elliptical galaxy overlaps with other areas such as Survey research. The concepts of his Redshift study are interwoven with issues in X-ray and Halo. His Cosmic microwave background research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Compton scattering, Quasar and Spectral index.
