Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

Peter Goldreich focuses on Astrophysics, Solar System, Turbulence, Astronomy and Quantum electrodynamics. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Radiative transfer and Angular momentum. His studies deal with areas such as Planet, Neptune and Uranus as well as Solar System.

His Turbulence research includes themes of Computational physics, Magnetohydrodynamics, Magnetic field, Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and Classical mechanics. His research in Accretion, Planetary migration and T Tauri star are components of Astronomy. The various areas that Peter Goldreich examines in his Quantum electrodynamics study include Wave packet, Mechanics, Spin–orbit interaction and Amplitude.

His most cited work include:

  • Spectral Energy Distributions of T Tauri Stars with Passive Circumstellar Disks (1398 citations)
  • Disk-Satellite Interactions (1311 citations)
  • The formation of planetesimals. (929 citations)

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

Peter Goldreich mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Classical mechanics, Turbulence and Planet. Peter Goldreich has included themes like Amplitude and Radius in his Astrophysics study. Peter Goldreich works mostly in the field of Amplitude, limiting it down to topics relating to Quantum electrodynamics and, in certain cases, Wave packet, as a part of the same area of interest.

Peter Goldreich interconnects Scattering and Magnetohydrodynamics, Magnetic field, Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the investigation of issues within Turbulence. His research integrates issues of Accretion and Solar System in his study of Planet. His Mechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Torque, Rotation and Dissipation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (61.36%)
  • Astronomy (30.91%)
  • Classical mechanics (21.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

  • Astrophysics (61.36%)
  • Mechanics (14.55%)
  • Planet (16.82%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Mechanics, Planet, Mean motion and Rubble. Peter Goldreich works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to concerns involving Amplitude and, occasionally, Satellite. His Mechanics research incorporates elements of Radiative transfer, Astronomy and Torque.

In his work, Ionosphere, Scale height, Outflow and Meteorology is strongly intertwined with Magnetic field, which is a subfield of Planet. His work investigates the relationship between Mean motion and topics such as Radius that intersect with problems in Celestial mechanics. His Solar System research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Potential energy, Moment and Classical mechanics.

Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • OVERSTABLE LIBRATIONS CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE PAUCITY OF MEAN MOTION RESONANCES AMONG EXOPLANET PAIRS (161 citations)
  • OVERSTABLE LIBRATIONS CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE PAUCITY OF MEAN MOTION RESONANCES AMONG EXOPLANET PAIRS (161 citations)
  • Constraints on Deep-seated Zonal Winds Inside Jupiter and Saturn (156 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Astrophysics, Planet, Torque and Astronomy. His work on Turbulence, Eddy and K-epsilon turbulence model as part of general Mechanics research is frequently linked to Randomness, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Astrophysics research incorporates themes from Radius and Resonance.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Field, Convection, Magnetic field and Celestial mechanics in addition to Planet. Peter Goldreich usually deals with Torque and limits it to topics linked to Asteroid and Solar System. His work deals with themes such as Elastic energy, Rotation and Angular momentum, which intersect with Astronomy.
