Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Solar System

Nicolas Thomas mostly deals with Comet, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Astrobiology and Mars Exploration Program. His studies deal with areas such as Shear, Gravitation and Southern Hemisphere as well as Comet. Many of his research projects under Astrophysics are closely connected to Range with Range, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Astrobiology research incorporates elements of Terrain and Sublimation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Orbiter, Impact crater, Remote sensing and High resolution imaging in addition to Mars Exploration Program. As a part of the same scientific study, Nicolas Thomas usually deals with the Remote sensing, concentrating on CRISM and frequently concerns with Exploration of Mars, High Resolution Stereo Camera, Martian surface and Color imaging.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) (1011 citations)
  • Rain, winds and haze during the Huygens probe's descent to Titan's surface (452 citations)
  • Seasonal Flows on Warm Martian Slopes (346 citations)

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

Astrobiology, Comet, Astronomy, Mars Exploration Program and Astrophysics are his primary areas of study. As a member of one scientific family, Nicolas Thomas mostly works in the field of Astrobiology, focusing on Sublimation and, on occasion, Outgassing and Mantle. His Comet research incorporates themes from Spacecraft, Comet dust, Coma and Southern Hemisphere.

His works in Planet and Photometry are all subjects of inquiry into Astronomy. His Mars Exploration Program study incorporates themes from Orbiter, Impact crater, Remote sensing and Polar. Many of his studies on Astrophysics apply to Brightness as well.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (28.91%)
  • Comet (27.16%)
  • Astronomy (23.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Comet (27.16%)
  • Astrobiology (28.91%)
  • Astrophysics (21.88%)

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

Nicolas Thomas spends much of his time researching Comet, Astrobiology, Astrophysics, Mars Exploration Program and Astronomy. His Comet study combines topics in areas such as Thermal, Latitude, Coma, Southern Hemisphere and Outgassing. His Astrobiology study focuses on Asteroid in particular.

In general Astrophysics, his work in Exoplanet is often linked to Range linking many areas of study. His Mars Exploration Program research integrates issues from Paleontology, Orbiter, Remote sensing and Polar. His work on Spacecraft and Photometry as part of general Astronomy research is frequently linked to Osiris, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The long egress of GJ 436b’s giant exosphere (77 citations)
  • Seasonal mass transfer on the nucleus of comet 67P/Chuyumov-Gerasimenko (77 citations)
  • The pristine interior of comet 67P revealed by the combined Aswan outburst and cliff collapse (77 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Solar System

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Comet, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Osiris and Astrobiology. The concepts of his Comet study are interwoven with issues in Thermal, Latitude, Coma, Remote sensing and Water ice. His Remote sensing research includes elements of Image resolution, Terrain, Mars Exploration Program, Pixel and Orbiter.

Nicolas Thomas has included themes like Brightness and Infrared in his Astrophysics study. His studies in Photometry, Spacecraft, Southern Hemisphere, Telescope and Solar System are all subfields of Astronomy research. His Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Interstellar cloud and Weathering.
