Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Radiative transfer, Planet and Planetary system. His specific area of interest is Astrophysics, where Michiel Min studies Stars. His Radiative transfer research includes elements of Planetesimal and Photon.

The concepts of his Planet study are interwoven with issues in Astrobiology and Thick disk. In Planetary system, Michiel Min works on issues like Spectral energy distribution, which are connected to Solar analog, Starlight, Photoevaporation, Forward scatter and Surface brightness. His study in Exoplanet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spectral line, James Webb Space Telescope and Atmospheric models.

His most cited work include:

  • The building blocks of planets within the ‘terrestrial’ region of protoplanetary disks (300 citations)
  • A 10 μm spectroscopic survey of Herbig Ae star disks: Grain growth and crystallization (287 citations)
  • A 10 micron spectroscopic survey of Herbig Ae star disks: grain growth and crystallization (284 citations)

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

Michiel Min mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Radiative transfer, Stars and Planet. His study in the field of Circumstellar dust also crosses realms of Context. His Radiative transfer research incorporates elements of Astrochemistry, Opacity, T Tauri star, Planetesimal and Protoplanetary disk.

His work on Circumbinary planet, Planetary system and Young stellar object as part of general Stars research is frequently linked to Herbig Ae/Be star, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Planet study combines topics in areas such as Solar System and Light curve. His research in Spectral line intersects with topics in Extinction, Infrared and Silicate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (107.47%)
  • Astronomy (41.67%)
  • Radiative transfer (44.83%)

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

  • Astrophysics (107.47%)
  • Exoplanet (17.24%)
  • Radiative transfer (44.83%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Exoplanet, Radiative transfer, Planet and Wavelength. His Astrophysics study frequently links to other fields, such as Spectral line. His Exoplanet study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Brown dwarf and Opacity.

His research in Radiative transfer tackles topics such as Circumstellar dust which are related to areas like Red supergiant, Intensity, Supergiant and Sky. His Planet research incorporates themes from Protostar, Astrobiology, Solar System, Transit and Interstellar medium. His Stars study combines topics in areas such as Scattering and Interferometry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL (145 citations)
  • Dust modeling of the combined ALMA and SPHERE datasets of HD 163296. Is HD 163296 really a Meeus group II disk (35 citations)
  • Dust modeling of the combined ALMA and SPHERE datasets of HD 163296. Is HD 163296 really a Meeus group II disk (35 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Infrared

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Radiative transfer, Stars, Wavelength and Exoplanet. Michiel Min undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Sublimation through his works. The various areas that he examines in his Radiative transfer study include Astrochemistry and T Tauri star.

His work focuses on many connections between Stars and other disciplines, such as Scattering, that overlap with his field of interest in Polarimetry and SPHERES. As a part of the same scientific family, Michiel Min mostly works in the field of Wavelength, focusing on Millimeter and, on occasion, Grain growth, Young stellar object and Atmospheric radiative transfer codes. His research integrates issues of Astrobiology and Solar System in his study of Planet.
