Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Milky Way

Michael M. Shara focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Proper motion and White dwarf. His study in Globular cluster, Brown dwarf, Metallicity, Low Mass and Galaxy falls within the category of Astrophysics. All of his Astronomy and Star cluster, Sky, Open cluster, Stellar evolution and Light curve investigations are sub-components of the entire Astronomy study.

His Sky research includes themes of Declination, Observatory and Telescope. His study explores the link between Stars and topics such as Angular momentum that cross with problems in Primary. His Proper motion research incorporates elements of Magnitude, Astrometry and Main sequence.

His most cited work include:

  • The Palomar Transient Factory: system overview, performance and first results (1048 citations)
  • The Palomar Transient Factory: System Overview, Performance and First Results (1022 citations)
  • Exploring the Optical Transient Sky with the Palomar Transient Factory (717 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, White dwarf and Globular cluster. His Astrophysics and Galaxy, Star cluster, Proper motion, Cataclysmic variable star and Blue straggler investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. Michael M. Shara combines subjects such as Brown dwarf, Sky, Radial velocity, Halo and Subdwarf with his study of Proper motion.

His Stars research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Magnitude and Angular momentum. His work deals with themes such as Low Mass, Accretion, Luminosity and Supernova, which intersect with White dwarf. While the research belongs to areas of Globular cluster, Michael M. Shara spends his time largely on the problem of Hubble space telescope, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Elliptical galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (101.28%)
  • Astronomy (56.63%)
  • Stars (38.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (101.28%)
  • White dwarf (32.65%)
  • Astronomy (56.63%)

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

Michael M. Shara mostly deals with Astrophysics, White dwarf, Astronomy, Stars and Hubble space telescope. Supernova, Low Mass, Luminosity, Ejecta and Blue straggler are the core of his Astrophysics study. His studies in Blue straggler integrate themes in fields like Open cluster and Proper motion.

His White dwarf study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Accretion, Radius, Spectral energy distribution and Accretion rate. His work carried out in the field of Stars brings together such families of science as Star and Emission spectrum. His work in Hubble space telescope covers topics such as Elliptical galaxy which are related to areas like Cosmic distance ladder.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The rapid reddening and featureless optical spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, at 2017gfo, during the first four days (96 citations)
  • The rapid reddening and featureless optical spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, at 2017gfo, during the first four days (96 citations)
  • GROWING WHITE DWARFS TO THE CHANDRASEKHAR LIMIT: THE PARAMETER SPACE OF THE SINGLE DEGENERATE SN Ia CHANNEL (69 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Galaxy

Michael M. Shara mainly investigates Astrophysics, White dwarf, Astronomy, Supernova and Nova. His Astrophysics and Hubble space telescope, Ejecta, Galaxy, Low Mass and Stars investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. His Galaxy research incorporates themes from Gamma-ray burst, LIGO, Kilonova and Neutron star.

His study in White dwarf is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Amplitude, Accretion, Andromeda Galaxy and Accretion rate. Dwarf nova, Binary star, Stellar dynamics, Red-giant branch and Blue straggler are the subjects of his Astronomy studies. His Supernova research focuses on subjects like Light curve, which are linked to Nucleosynthesis and Magnitude.
