Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Megan Donahue spends much of her time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy cluster, Galaxy, Astronomy and Star formation. Her study in Redshift, Dark matter, Intracluster medium, Supernova and Active galactic nucleus falls under the purview of Astrophysics. Megan Donahue interconnects ROSAT and Velocity dispersion in the investigation of issues within Galaxy cluster.

The concepts of her Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Thermal conduction and Radiative cooling. Her Star formation study which covers Solar mass that intersects with Nebula. Her Stars research incorporates themes from Quasar and Sky.

Her most cited work include:

  • Sloan digital sky survey: Early data release (2156 citations)
  • Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Early data release (2084 citations)
  • The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. V. Improving the Dark-energy Constraints above z > 1 and Building an Early-type-hosted Supernova Sample (1441 citations)

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

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Galaxy cluster, Astronomy and Redshift are her primary areas of study. Star formation, Brightest cluster galaxy, Intracluster medium, Active galactic nucleus and Supernova are the primary areas of interest in her Astrophysics study. The Star formation study combines topics in areas such as Solar mass and Spitzer Space Telescope.

Her Galaxy study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Stars. The study incorporates disciplines such as Halo, Weak gravitational lensing, Dark matter and Velocity dispersion in addition to Galaxy cluster. She has included themes like Cosmology and Virial mass in her Redshift study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (92.41%)
  • Galaxy (64.40%)
  • Galaxy cluster (43.77%)

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

  • Astrophysics (92.41%)
  • Galaxy (64.40%)
  • Galaxy cluster (43.77%)

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

Megan Donahue mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Galaxy cluster, Active galactic nucleus and Astronomy. Her research in Brightest cluster galaxy, Star formation, Intracluster medium, Supernova and Stars are components of Astrophysics. Her study in Redshift, Stellar mass, Elliptical galaxy, Velocity dispersion and Galaxy formation and evolution are all subfields of Galaxy.

In the subject of general Redshift, her work in Weak gravitational lensing is often linked to Collision, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her studies in Galaxy cluster integrate themes in fields like Halo, Cold dark matter, Dark matter and Structure formation. Her biological study deals with issues like ROSAT, which deal with fields such as Nordic Optical Telescope, Point source, South Pole Telescope, Sky and Quasar.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A Global Model for Circumgalactic and Cluster-core Precipitation (129 citations)
  • Chandra and JVLA Observations of HST Frontier Fields Cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 (53 citations)
  • A Galaxy-scale Fountain of Cold Molecular Gas Pumped by a Black Hole (51 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Galaxy cluster, Brightest cluster galaxy and Active galactic nucleus. Megan Donahue conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Collision through her works. Her research in Galaxy intersects with topics in Photometry, Supernova and Nebula.

Her Galaxy cluster study deals with the bigger picture of Astronomy. Her work in Brightest cluster galaxy addresses subjects such as Mass distribution, which are connected to disciplines such as Cooling flow and Line. Her Active galactic nucleus research incorporates elements of Thermal, Elliptical galaxy, Intracluster medium and Mass fraction.
