Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Mark Thompson focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Star formation and Galactic plane. His research links Infrared with Astrophysics. The Stellar mass, Spiral galaxy and Interstellar medium research he does as part of his general Astronomy study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Excitation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His work carried out in the field of Galaxy brings together such families of science as Cirrus and Terahertz radiation. His research in Star formation tackles topics such as Luminosity which are related to areas like Accretion, Young stellar object and Star. His research in Galactic plane intersects with topics in Deconvolution, Continuum, Planetary nebula, Noise and Disc.

His most cited work include:

  • VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way (727 citations)
  • Clouds, filaments, and protostars: The Herschel Hi-GAL Milky Way (649 citations)
  • Clouds, filaments and protostars: the Herschel Hi-GAL Milky Way (648 citations)

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

Mark Thompson mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Star formation, Galaxy and Galactic plane. His study ties his expertise on Infrared together with the subject of Astrophysics. Milky Way, Telescope, Sky, Protostar and Luminous infrared galaxy are among the areas of Astronomy where Mark Thompson concentrates his study.

His work carried out in the field of Star formation brings together such families of science as Luminosity, Star and Continuum. His Galaxy research incorporates themes from Photometry and Terahertz radiation. The various areas that he examines in his Galactic plane study include Spectral line, Spectral energy distribution, Emissivity, Extinction and Longitude.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (83.95%)
  • Astronomy (48.42%)
  • Star formation (48.42%)

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

  • Astrophysics (83.95%)
  • Star formation (48.42%)
  • Galactic plane (22.92%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Star formation, Galactic plane, Astronomy and Molecular cloud. His Astrophysics research focuses on subjects like Spectral index, which are linked to Lambda. His Star formation research integrates issues from Protein filament, Telescope, Infrared and Continuum.

Mark Thompson combines subjects such as Milky Way, Luminosity and Spiral galaxy with his study of Galactic plane. His work on Young stellar object, Longitude and Extinction as part of general Astronomy research is often related to Zhàng, thus linking different fields of science. His Molecular cloud study combines topics in areas such as Deuterium, Sample and Infrared dark cloud.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • ATLASGAL - properties of a complete sample of Galactic clumps (143 citations)
  • The Hi-GAL compact source catalogue – I. The physical properties of the clumps in the inner Galaxy (−71. ◦ 0 < ℓ < 67.◦ 0) (82 citations)
  • A population of eruptive variable protostars in VVV (62 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way

Astrophysics, Star formation, Galactic plane, Astronomy and Galaxy are his primary areas of study. His Spectral index research extends to the thematically linked field of Astrophysics. In his works, Mark Thompson conducts interdisciplinary research on Star formation and Outflow.

His Galactic plane research incorporates elements of Milky Way, Luminosity, Maser and Spiral galaxy. His work on Spectral energy distribution, Extinction, Spectral line and Protostar as part of general Astronomy study is frequently linked to Vista Variables in the Via Lactea, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work is dedicated to discovering how Galaxy, Stars are connected with Disc, Spatial distribution and Spectral density and other disciplines.
