Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

His primary areas of study are Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Atmosphere, Planet and Venus. He specializes in Mars Exploration Program, namely Atmosphere of Mars. In general Astrobiology, his work in Solar System is often linked to Context linking many areas of study.

In his study, Water vapor, Radiation and Sunlight is strongly linked to Astrophysics, which falls under the umbrella field of Atmosphere. In his research, Occultation and Systems engineering is intimately related to Payload, which falls under the overarching field of Planet. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Ionosphere under Martian, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Atmospheric sciences and Solar zenith angle.

His most cited work include:

  • An overview of the descent and landing of the Huygens probe on Titan (189 citations)
  • Venus Express—The first European mission to Venus (172 citations)
  • Discovery of an aurora on Mars. (155 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Ionosphere, Martian and Environmental science. As part of his studies on Astrobiology, Olivier Witasse often connects relevant subjects like Planet. His work in Mars Exploration Program covers topics such as Atmosphere which are related to areas like Astrophysics.

His work carried out in the field of Ionosphere brings together such families of science as Atmospheric sciences and Solar zenith angle. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Solar cycle, Solar minimum and Thermosphere. Olivier Witasse does research in Martian, focusing on Martian surface specifically.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (37.91%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (37.25%)
  • Ionosphere (27.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (37.25%)
  • Asteroid (7.84%)
  • Astrophysics (8.82%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Asteroid, Astrophysics, Astrobiology and Ionosphere. Olivier Witasse interconnects Radar, Coronal mass ejection and Space weather in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program. His Coronal mass ejection research includes elements of Zenith and Atmosphere, Astronomy, Solar flare.

His Asteroid research includes themes of Iris, Solar System, Impact crater and Hydrostatic equilibrium. His study of Planetary missions is a part of Astrobiology. His Ionosphere study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Geophysics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Closing the gap between Earth-based and interplanetary mission observations: Vesta seen by VLT/SPHERE (17 citations)
  • A basin-free spherical shape as an outcome of a giant impact on asteroid Hygiea (13 citations)
  • Homogeneous internal structure of CM-like asteroid (41) Daphne★★★ (10 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Jupiter

Olivier Witasse mostly deals with Asteroid, Astrophysics, Impact crater, Context and Mars Exploration Program. His Asteroid research incorporates elements of Albedo and Hydrostatic equilibrium. The Mars Exploration Program study combines topics in areas such as Space weather and Ionosphere.

His research in Space weather intersects with topics in Atmospheric sciences, Dynamic pressure, Radar, Atmosphere of Mars and Solar wind. Ionosphere is a subfield of Geophysics that Olivier Witasse investigates. To a larger extent, Olivier Witasse studies Astrobiology with the aim of understanding Solar System.
