Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Peter Capak mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Star formation. His study in Astrophysics focuses on Active galactic nucleus, Stellar mass, Photometry, Stars and Luminosity. His research in Active galactic nucleus focuses on subjects like Accretion, which are connected to Interstellar medium.

His work deals with themes such as Spectral line, Physical cosmology, Infrared and Dark matter, which intersect with Galaxy. His Redshift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Billion years and Spectrograph. His studies deal with areas such as Extinction, Low Mass and Stellar classification as well as Star formation.

His most cited work include:

  • The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS): Overview* (1495 citations)
  • COSMOS Photometric Redshifts with 30-bands for 2-deg2 (1122 citations)
  • A Highly Consistent Framework for the Evolution of the Star-Forming "Main Sequence" from z~0-6 (922 citations)

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

Peter Capak spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Star formation. Stellar mass, Luminosity, Galaxy formation and evolution, Active galactic nucleus and Stars are among the areas of Astrophysics where he concentrates his study. His study in Galaxy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dark matter and Emission spectrum.

He combines subjects such as Cosmology, Spectral line and Photometry with his study of Redshift. His study in Luminous infrared galaxy, Quasar, Redshift survey, Cosmos and Elliptical galaxy falls under the purview of Astronomy. As part of the same scientific family, Peter Capak usually focuses on Star formation, concentrating on Line and intersecting with Equivalent width.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (90.65%)
  • Galaxy (79.29%)
  • Redshift (62.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Galaxy (79.29%)
  • Astrophysics (90.65%)
  • Redshift (62.69%)

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

Peter Capak mainly investigates Galaxy, Astrophysics, Redshift, Star formation and Stellar mass. His study with Galaxy involves better knowledge in Astronomy. His study on Sky is often connected to Field as part of broader study in Astronomy.

His Redshift study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as COSMIC cancer database, Atacama Large Millimeter Array, Telescope and Infrared. Peter Capak interconnects Spectral line, Metallicity, Billion years and Baryon in the investigation of issues within Star formation. His study focuses on the intersection of Stellar mass and fields such as Infrared excess with connections in the field of Extinction.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Hyper Suprime-Cam SSP Survey: Overview and survey design (285 citations)
  • The DEIMOS 10K spectroscopic survey catalog of the COSMOS field (97 citations)
  • COLDz: Shape of the CO Luminosity Function at High Redshift and the Cold Gas History of the Universe (86 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His primary areas of study are Galaxy, Astrophysics, Redshift, Star formation and Stellar mass. Luminosity is the focus of his Galaxy research. His Redshift research incorporates elements of Galaxy formation and evolution and Telescope.

His studies in Galaxy formation and evolution integrate themes in fields like Observational cosmology, Active galactic nucleus and Submillimetre astronomy. His Star formation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Doubly ionized oxygen, Metallicity, Virtual observatory and Luminosity function. His Stellar mass research includes elements of Halo and Infrared excess.
