Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Stars

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Stellar evolution and Stellar mass loss. His study in O-type star, Supernova, Wolf–Rayet star, Galaxy and Main sequence is carried out as part of his Astrophysics studies. His study looks at the relationship between Stars and topics such as Spectral line, which overlap with Eddington luminosity.

In his study, Black hole, Gravitational wave, Bright giant and Gamma-ray burst is strongly linked to Metallicity, which falls under the umbrella field of Stellar evolution. His Stellar mass loss research incorporates elements of Stellar dynamics and T Tauri star. His research in Large Magellanic Cloud intersects with topics in Stellar classification and Young stellar object.

His most cited work include:

  • A massive pulsar in a compact relativistic binary (2268 citations)
  • Binary Interaction Dominates the Evolution of Massive Stars (1302 citations)
  • Presupernova Evolution of Rotating Massive Stars. I. Numerical Method and Evolution of the Internal Stellar Structure (789 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Stellar evolution and Supernova. Many of his studies on Astrophysics involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Angular momentum. His Stars research includes themes of Spectral line and Galaxy.

His studies deal with areas such as Stellar rotation, Effective temperature, Main sequence and Eddington luminosity as well as Stellar evolution. The Supernova study combines topics in areas such as Neutron star and Binary star. The various areas that Norbert Langer examines in his White dwarf study include Accretion and Helium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (96.48%)
  • Stars (67.69%)
  • Astronomy (49.67%)

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

  • Astrophysics (96.48%)
  • Stars (67.69%)
  • Supernova (23.08%)

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

Norbert Langer mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Supernova, Astronomy and Stellar evolution. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Infrared and Astrophysics. His Stars research focuses on Helium and how it relates to Accretion.

His studies in Supernova integrate themes in fields like Magnetar, Galaxy, Black hole and Angular momentum. His work on Light curve as part of general Astronomy research is frequently linked to Magnetism, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Stellar evolution brings together such families of science as Supergiant, Radius, O-type star and Wolf–Rayet star.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Progenitors of gravitational wave mergers: binary evolution with the stellar grid-based code COMBINE (181 citations)
  • Progenitors of gravitational wave mergers: binary evolution with the stellar grid-based code COMBINE (181 citations)
  • An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst. (149 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Milky Way

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Stars, Supernova, Astronomy and Neutron star. His work is connected to Stellar evolution, Luminosity, Metallicity, Large Magellanic Cloud and Star formation, as a part of Astrophysics. His Supernova study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Galaxy, Envelope, Black hole and Angular momentum.

His study in the fields of Light curve and Ejecta under the domain of Astronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as Magnetism and Full sample. His Neutron star research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Orbital period and Planet. Norbert Langer works mostly in the field of Main sequence, limiting it down to concerns involving Common envelope and, occasionally, Wolf–Rayet star.
