Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Planet
  • Exoplanet

Michaël Gillon mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Planet, Astronomy, Exoplanet and Planetary system. Michaël Gillon interconnects Radius and Transit in the investigation of issues within Astrophysics. His Planet research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stars and Astrobiology.

His research in Exoplanet intersects with topics in Atmosphere, Terrestrial planet and Solar System. His work deals with themes such as Rotation period, Infrared, Orbital period, Photometry and Starspot, which intersect with Planetary system. In Radial velocity, Michaël Gillon works on issues like Amplitude, which are connected to Phase curve.

His most cited work include:

  • Seven temperate terrestrial planets around the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (1046 citations)
  • The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets - XXXI. The M-dwarf sample (582 citations)
  • Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission VIII. CoRoT-7b: the first Super-Earth with measured radius (558 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Planet, Astronomy, Exoplanet and Planetary system. His Astrophysics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Radius. His work carried out in the field of Planet brings together such families of science as Photometry, Orbital period and Transit.

Within one scientific family, Michaël Gillon focuses on topics pertaining to Astrobiology under Astronomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Atmosphere. His Exoplanet study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Metallicity, Terrestrial planet, Orbital eccentricity and Jupiter. His Planetary system research includes elements of Dwarf star, James Webb Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (80.85%)
  • Planet (79.68%)
  • Astronomy (66.37%)

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

  • Planet (79.68%)
  • Astrophysics (80.85%)
  • Exoplanet (52.49%)

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

Michaël Gillon focuses on Planet, Astrophysics, Exoplanet, Astronomy and Stars. His Planet research incorporates elements of Orbital period, Radius and Transit. His Radius research includes themes of Low Mass and Star.

His studies in Transit integrate themes in fields like Starspot, Photosphere and Photometry. Many of his studies on Astrophysics apply to Spectroscopy as well. As a part of the same scientific family, Michaël Gillon mostly works in the field of Exoplanet, focusing on Habitability and, on occasion, Circumstellar habitable zone.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets (209 citations)
  • A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL (145 citations)
  • Atmospheric reconnaissance of the habitable-zone Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1 (110 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Planet
  • Solar System

Michaël Gillon spends much of his time researching Planet, Exoplanet, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Transit. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stars and Parameter space in addition to Planet. His studies deal with areas such as Astrobiology, Terrestrial planet and Radial velocity as well as Exoplanet.

He usually deals with Astrophysics and limits it to topics linked to Spectroscopy and Sample, Luminosity function and Comet. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosphere, Brown dwarf and Photometry in addition to Transit. His work focuses on many connections between Orbital period and other disciplines, such as Radius, that overlap with his field of interest in Star and Neptune.
