2014 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Solar System

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Planet, Planetary system and Stars. His Astrophysics research includes themes of Polarization, Radius and Debris. His is doing research in Circumstellar dust, Beta Pictoris and Coronagraph, both of which are found in Astronomy.

His Planetary system study combines topics in areas such as Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Radial velocity. His Debris disk study incorporates themes from Scattering, Solar System, Position angle, Proper motion and Surface brightness. Paul Kalas is interested in Gemini Planet Imager, which is a branch of Exoplanet.

His most cited work include:

  • Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light-Years from Earth (816 citations)
  • First light of the Gemini Planet Imager (548 citations)
  • The Gemini Planet Imager: First Light (502 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, Debris disk, Planet and Gemini Planet Imager. His Astrophysics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Radius. His work in the fields of Astronomy, such as Astrometry, Fomalhaut and Adaptive optics, overlaps with other areas such as National laboratory.

His research investigates the connection between Debris disk and topics such as Scattering that intersect with issues in Halo. His research combines Radial velocity and Planet. The concepts of his Gemini Planet Imager study are interwoven with issues in Polarimetry, Polarization, Wavelength, Radiative transfer and Integral field spectrograph.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (83.37%)
  • Astronomy (74.95%)
  • Debris disk (55.58%)

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

  • Astrophysics (83.37%)
  • Gemini Planet Imager (49.68%)
  • Astronomy (74.95%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Gemini Planet Imager, Astronomy, Debris disk and Stars. His work on Exoplanet, Planet and Planetary mass is typically connected to Population as part of general Astrophysics study, connecting several disciplines of science. He has researched Gemini Planet Imager in several fields, including Astrometry, Millimeter and Polarimetry.

Paul Kalas interconnects Direct imaging and Debris in the investigation of issues within Astronomy. His Debris disk research incorporates themes from Brightness, Surface brightness, Scattering and Circumstellar dust. His Stars research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Star and Integral field spectrograph.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: Giant Planet and Brown Dwarf Demographics from 10 to 100 au (152 citations)
  • The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: Giant Planet and Brown Dwarf Demographics from 10 to 100 au (152 citations)
  • The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: Giant Planet and Brown Dwarf Demographics From 10-100 AU (138 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Astrophysics

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Gemini Planet Imager, Astronomy, Stars and Exoplanet. His Astrophysics research focuses on Debris disk and Planet. Paul Kalas focuses mostly in the field of Gemini Planet Imager, narrowing it down to topics relating to Millimeter and, in certain cases, Thin disk, Spiral galaxy, Coincident, Thermal and Continuum.

His research links Narrowband with Astronomy. Paul Kalas has researched Stars in several fields, including Solar System, Sky and Search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The various areas that he examines in his Exoplanet study include Astrobiology and Habitability.
