  • Gravitational wave (84.82%)
  • Astrophysics (61.90%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, Neutron star and Astronomy. Peter R. Saulson has researched LIGO in several fields, including Magnetar, Supernova, Black hole and Noise. His Gravitational wave research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Detector, Sky, Waveform, Gamma-ray burst and Pulsar.

In general Astrophysics study, his work on Binary black hole, Galaxy and Stars often relates to the realm of Population, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cosmology, General relativity and Coalescence. In the field of Astronomy, his study on Observatory and KAGRA overlaps with subjects such as Transient.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs (1290 citations)
  • GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State (831 citations)
  • Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA (582 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Astronomy

Peter R. Saulson mostly deals with LIGO, Astrophysics, Gravitational wave, Neutron star and Binary black hole. His studies in LIGO integrate themes in fields like General relativity and Galaxy, Redshift. Astrophysics is represented through his Stars and Universe research.

Gravitational wave is a subfield of Astronomy that Peter R. Saulson tackles. In the subject of general Astronomy, his work in Gravitational wave background, X-ray binary, Binary pulsar and Stellar black hole is often linked to X-ray burster, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
