Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Astrophysics
Optics

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Quasar, Galaxy and Active galactic nucleus. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Polarization, Linear polarization and Optical polarization. His studies in Linear polarization integrate themes in fields like Flare, Superluminal motion and BL Lac object.

Paul S. Smith has researched Quasar in several fields, including Compton scattering, Absorption, Infrared, Amplitude and Spectral line. He combines subjects such as Radius and Silicate with his study of Galaxy. His Active galactic nucleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Supermassive black hole and Balmer series.

His most cited work include:

The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) (2007 citations)
Reverberation Measurements for 17 Quasars and the Size-Mass-Luminosity Relations in Active Galactic Nuclei (1799 citations)
POLARIMETRIC OBSERVATIONS OF 15 ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI AT HIGH FREQUENCIES: JET KINEMATICS FROM BIMONTHLY MONITORING WITH THE VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY (675 citations)

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

Paul S. Smith mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Quasar, Polarization and Blazar. His Astrophysics research includes elements of Optical polarization, Linear polarization and Emission spectrum. His research on Astronomy often connects related topics like BL Lac object.

Quasar is closely attributed to Radio galaxy in his research. His Polarization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wavelength and Scattering. The concepts of his Blazar study are interwoven with issues in Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Very Long Baseline Array, Flare and Superluminal motion.

He most often published in these fields:

Astrophysics (68.65%)
Astronomy (36.48%)
Quasar (22.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

Astrophysics (68.65%)
Blazar (19.26%)
Astronomy (36.48%)

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

Paul S. Smith mostly deals with Astrophysics, Blazar, Astronomy, Polarization and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Spectral line and Emission spectrum. The Spectral line study combines topics in areas such as Scattering and Photometry.

His study in Blazar is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Observatory, Flare and MAGIC. His Flare research incorporates elements of Optical polarization and Superluminal motion. His research in Galaxy is mostly concerned with Active galactic nucleus.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Unprecedented study of the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during flaring activity in March 2010 (89 citations)
Multiwavelength Study Of Quiescent States Of Mrk 421 With Unprecedented Hard X-Ray Coverage Provided By Nustar In 2013 (81 citations)
Blazar spectral variability as explained by a twisted inhomogeneous jet (76 citations)
