Overview

O. Le Fevre was affiliated with Aix-Marseille University in France and contributed extensively to the field of physics and astronomy with a focus on astronomy and astrophysics. Their research work spanned multiple subfields, including instrumentation, nuclear and high energy physics, atomic and molecular physics and optics, as well as electrical and electronic engineering.

Le Fevre's main topics of research encompassed galaxies - including their formation, evolution, and phenomena - along with general astronomy and astrophysical research. Further areas of study involved astrophysics and star formation, gamma-ray bursts and supernovae, stellar, planetary, and galactic studies, astrophysics and cosmic phenomena, and adaptive optics and wavefront sensing.

Their publication record reflected their multidisciplinary approach, with key frequent venues including:

  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • The Astrophysical Journal
  • Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • Apollo (University of Cambridge)

Among their recent notable papers were:

  • COSMOS2020: A Panchromatic View of the Universe to z ∼ 10 from Two Complementary Catalogs, 2022, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
  • Euclid Spectroscopic Image Simulations and Reconstruction, 2024, arXiv (Cornell University)
  • The ALPINE-ALMA [CII] survey, 2020, Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • Life beyond 30: Probing the −20 < M UV < −17 Luminosity Function at 8 < z < 13 with the NIRCam Parallel Field of the MIRI Deep Survey, 2023, The Astrophysical Journal Letters
  • The ALPINE-ALMA [C II] survey, 2020, Astronomy and Astrophysics

Le Fevre collaborated frequently with a core group of co-authors, including:

  • G. Zamorani
  • B. C. Lemaux
  • D. Schaerer
  • M. Talia
  • Nimish P. Hathi
