2012 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
2010 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences
2009 - Henry Draper Medal, United States National Academy of Sciences For his pioneering contributions to gamma ray astronomy. His leadership of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and the Swift Mission has led to new insights into the extreme physics of active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursts
1993 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For fundamental observational and theoretical studies in gammaray astronomy, and for the development of new detector technologies for lowbackground gammaray spectroscopy
His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Gamma-ray burst and LIGO. His work is connected to Galaxy, Light curve, Redshift, Luminosity and Active galactic nucleus, as a part of Astrophysics. His Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spectral line, Quasar, Gamma ray, Blazar and Spitzer Space Telescope.
His Gamma-ray burst study frequently links to related topics such as Swift. His study in the fields of GW151226 under the domain of LIGO overlaps with other disciplines such as Sensitivity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Observatory, Detector and Stellar black hole.
Astrophysics, Gamma-ray burst, Swift, Astronomy and Afterglow are his primary areas of study. His Gamma ray, Telescope, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Redshift and Light curve investigations are all subjects of Astrophysics research. His research in Gamma-ray burst intersects with topics in Triangulation, Computer vision and Artificial intelligence.
His work in Swift is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses X-ray. Galaxy, Gravitational wave, LIGO, Neutron star and Spectral line are among the areas of Astronomy where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
N. Gehrels focuses on Astrophysics, Gamma-ray burst, Swift, Astronomy and Gravitational wave. His Astrophysics study focuses mostly on Neutron star, Afterglow, Redshift, Black hole and Binary black hole. His work carried out in the field of Gamma-ray burst brings together such families of science as Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Triangulation, Computer vision, Artificial intelligence.
His study on Astronomy is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Neutrino. His Gravitational wave research integrates issues from Detector and Sky. N. Gehrels studies GW151226 which is a part of LIGO.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational wave, LIGO and Gamma-ray burst. Neutron star, Binary black hole, Redshift, Black hole and GW151226 are the subjects of his Astrophysics studies. His Astronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Neutrino.
N. Gehrels interconnects Stellar black hole, Detector, Sky and Interferometry in the investigation of issues within Gravitational wave. When carried out as part of a general LIGO research project, his work on Gravitational-wave astronomy is frequently linked to work in Sensitivity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work in the fields of Gamma-ray burst, such as Afterglow, overlaps with other areas such as Unified Model.
