Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Quantum mechanics

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.

His most cited work include:

  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (2671 citations)
  • GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2 (1948 citations)

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

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.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (92.11%)
  • Gamma-ray burst (65.79%)
  • Swift (58.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (92.11%)
  • Gamma-ray burst (65.79%)
  • Swift (58.77%)

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

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.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (2671 citations)
  • GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2 (1948 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Quantum mechanics

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.
