Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Stars

Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Metallicity and Wolf–Rayet star are his primary areas of study. His works in Stellar evolution, Galaxy, Supergiant, Star cluster and Star formation are all subjects of inquiry into Astrophysics. Paul A. Crowther interconnects Line and Star in the investigation of issues within Stellar evolution.

Stars is often connected to Spectral line in his work. The Metallicity study combines topics in areas such as Supernova and Bright giant. Paul A. Crowther usually deals with Wolf–Rayet star and limits it to topics linked to Emission spectrum and Envelope.

His most cited work include:

  • Physical Properties of Wolf-Rayet Stars (761 citations)
  • The R136 star cluster hosts several stars whose individual masses greatly exceed the accepted 150 M⊙ stellar mass limit (454 citations)
  • The R136 star cluster hosts several stars whose individual masses greatly exceed the accepted 150 Msun stellar mass limit (450 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Wolf–Rayet star and Galaxy. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectroscopy and Spectral line. He combines topics linked to Line with his work on Stars.

His work is connected to K-type main-sequence star, Milky Way, Nebula, Stellar mass loss and Star, as a part of Astronomy. His Wolf–Rayet star research incorporates themes from Emission spectrum and Spiral galaxy. His research ties Supernova and Galaxy together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (92.86%)
  • Stars (73.68%)
  • Astronomy (52.44%)

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

  • Astrophysics (92.86%)
  • Stars (73.68%)
  • Large Magellanic Cloud (12.97%)

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

Paul A. Crowther mostly deals with Astrophysics, Stars, Large Magellanic Cloud, Astronomy and Galaxy. His work on Spectral line expands to the thematically related Astrophysics. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Spectral line, concentrating on Spectroscopy and frequently concerns with Stellar population.

His study in Nebula, Supergiant, Star cluster, Stellar classification and Effective temperature is done as part of Stars. His research integrates issues of Main sequence, Star formation, Stellar mass, Initial mass function and Orbital period in his study of Large Magellanic Cloud. The study incorporates disciplines such as Metallicity and O-type star in addition to Stellar evolution.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst. (149 citations)
  • Spectral models for binary products: Unifying subdwarfs and Wolf-Rayet stars as a sequence of stripped-envelope stars (92 citations)
  • The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: I. Observational campaign and OB-type spectroscopic binaries (77 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Astrophysics

Paul A. Crowther spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Stars, Large Magellanic Cloud, Galaxy and Nebula. He focuses mostly in the field of Astrophysics, narrowing it down to matters related to Spectral line and, in some cases, Envelope. His Large Magellanic Cloud research includes elements of Star cluster and Stellar mass.

His Galaxy research is classified as research in Astronomy. Paul A. Crowther has included themes like Astronomical spectroscopy, Interstellar medium and Balmer series in his Nebula study. His study explores the link between Metallicity and topics such as Stellar classification that cross with problems in Emission spectrum and Critical mass.
