Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

His primary scientific interests are in Galaxy, Astrophysics, Star formation, Astronomy and Luminosity. His research on Galaxy often connects related topics like Sky. His research investigates the link between Astrophysics and topics such as Ultraviolet that cross with problems in Radius.

His Star formation study incorporates themes from Magnitude, Galaxy formation and evolution and Redshift. His study on Luminous infrared galaxy is often connected to Ultraviolet astronomy as part of broader study in Astronomy. His work carried out in the field of Luminosity brings together such families of science as Light curve, Tidal disruption event, Flare and Black hole.

His most cited work include:

  • The Galaxy Evolution Explorer: A Space Ultraviolet Survey Mission (1929 citations)
  • The Galaxy Evolution Explorer: A Space Ultraviolet Survey Mission (1888 citations)
  • The calibration and data products of GALEX (918 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Star formation and Galaxy formation and evolution. Many of his studies on Astrophysics apply to Ultraviolet as well. Peter G. Friedman has researched Galaxy in several fields, including Stars, Photometry and Sky.

His work on Luminous infrared galaxy, Lenticular galaxy, Active galactic nucleus and Galaxy group as part of general Astronomy study is frequently linked to Ultraviolet astronomy, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Star formation course of study focuses on Surface brightness and Spiral galaxy. As a part of the same scientific family, Peter G. Friedman mostly works in the field of Galaxy formation and evolution, focusing on RR Lyrae variable and, on occasion, Amplitude.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (86.01%)
  • Galaxy (79.02%)
  • Astronomy (58.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2012)?

  • Astrophysics (86.01%)
  • Astronomy (58.04%)
  • Galaxy (79.02%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Star formation and Photometry. Peter G. Friedman works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to topics relating to Ultraviolet and, in certain cases, Supernova. His research in the fields of Spectroscopy overlaps with other disciplines such as Welsh and Atlas.

His research in Galaxy intersects with topics in Universe and Sky. His Star formation research integrates issues from Extinction and Surface brightness. The Photometry study which covers Initial mass function that intersects with Metallicity, Variable star, Luminosity function and Stellar evolution.

Between 2008 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • The extreme hosts of extreme supernovae (152 citations)
  • The Star Formation Law at Low Surface Density (123 citations)
  • THE STAR FORMATION LAW AT LOW SURFACE DENSITY (120 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

His primary scientific interests are in Galaxy, Astrophysics, Luminosity, Astronomy and Sky. A large part of his Galaxy studies is devoted to Luminosity function. His Astrophysics study focuses on Star formation in particular.

Peter G. Friedman focuses mostly in the field of Star formation, narrowing it down to matters related to Surface brightness and, in some cases, Extinction, Luminous infrared galaxy and Spiral galaxy. Peter G. Friedman interconnects Universe, Elliptical galaxy and Galaxy formation and evolution in the investigation of issues within Luminosity. The Universe study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Halo and Redshift.
