Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy

Michael Boylan-Kolchin mainly investigates Astrophysics, Dark matter, Astronomy, Galaxy and Milky Way. His work in Galaxy formation and evolution, Stellar mass, Dark matter halo, Local Group and Halo are all subfields of Astrophysics research. His work is dedicated to discovering how Galaxy formation and evolution, Bulge are connected with Satellite galaxy and other disciplines.

His work carried out in the field of Dark matter brings together such families of science as Cosmology, Low Mass, Redshift and Virial mass. His studies examine the connections between Galaxy and genetics, as well as such issues in Supernova, with regards to Accretion. In his study, Quasar is inextricably linked to Dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which falls within the broad field of Milky Way.

His most cited work include:

  • Too big to fail? The puzzling darkness of massive Milky Way subhaloes (1051 citations)
  • From dwarf spheroidals to cD galaxies: simulating the galaxy population in a ΛCDM cosmology (1007 citations)
  • From dwarf spheroidals to cDs: Simulating the galaxy population in a LCDM cosmology (991 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Dark matter and Milky Way. His studies in Dwarf galaxy, Star formation, Halo, Stellar mass and Galaxy formation and evolution are all subfields of Astrophysics research. His Dwarf galaxy study combines topics in areas such as Galaxy rotation curve, Metallicity, Baryon and Velocity dispersion.

In general Galaxy, his work in Local Group, Reionization and Dark matter halo is often linked to Population linking many areas of study. His research integrates issues of Cosmology, Low Mass, Redshift and Structure formation in his study of Dark matter. His research in the fields of Satellite galaxy overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (94.59%)
  • Galaxy (66.80%)
  • Astronomy (43.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (94.59%)
  • Galaxy (66.80%)
  • Star formation (30.89%)

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

Michael Boylan-Kolchin focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Star formation, Dwarf galaxy and Milky Way. His study in Astrophysics focuses on Stars, Dark matter, Stellar mass, Local Group and Metallicity. His Dark matter study is related to the wider topic of Astronomy.

In the subject of general Galaxy, his work in Galaxy formation and evolution, Halo, Cold dark matter and Reionization is often linked to Population, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Dwarf galaxy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Galaxy rotation curve, Stellar population, Low Mass and Baryon. His research in the fields of Satellite galaxy overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • FIRE-2 simulations: physics versus numerics in galaxy formation (401 citations)
  • Gas kinematics, morphology and angular momentum in the FIRE simulations (93 citations)
  • The origin of ultra diffuse galaxies: stellar feedback and quenching. (88 citations)
