Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Galaxy

Philip Massey mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Supergiant and Metallicity. His is involved in several facets of Astrophysics study, as is seen by his studies on Stellar evolution, Star formation, Spiral galaxy, T Tauri star and Stellar mass loss. His research on Stars frequently links to adjacent areas such as Galaxy.

Astronomy is a component of his Stellar classification, Blue straggler, O-type star, K-type main-sequence star and Initial mass function studies. His studies deal with areas such as Telescope, Luminous blue variable, X-ray binary, Photometry and Hypergiant as well as O-type star. Philip Massey combines subjects such as Extinction and Effective temperature with his study of Red supergiant.

His most cited work include:

  • The Initial Mass Function and Massive Star Evolution in the OB Associations of the Northern Milky Way (431 citations)
  • The effective temperature scale of galactic red supergiants : Cool, but not as cool as we thought (423 citations)
  • The effective temperature scale of galactic red supergiants : Cool, but not as cool as we thought (423 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Galaxy and Red supergiant. His study in Wolf–Rayet star, Supergiant, Local Group, Metallicity and Stellar evolution is carried out as part of his studies in Astrophysics. His Stellar classification, Large Magellanic Cloud, Small Magellanic Cloud, Photometry and Milky Way investigations are all subjects of Stars research.

His Galaxy research includes elements of Supernova and Photometry. His work is dedicated to discovering how Red supergiant, Effective temperature are connected with Betelgeuse and other disciplines. His study in T Tauri star is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stellar mass loss and Blue straggler.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (116.89%)
  • Stars (83.30%)
  • Astronomy (58.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (116.89%)
  • Stars (83.30%)
  • Red supergiant (39.02%)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Stars, Red supergiant, Galaxy and Wolf–Rayet star. His study in Astrophysics concentrates on Supergiant, Small Magellanic Cloud, Metallicity, Milky Way and Star. His Stars study is concerned with Astronomy in general.

The concepts of his Red supergiant study are interwoven with issues in Effective temperature and Spiral galaxy. His work carried out in the field of Galaxy brings together such families of science as Supernova, O-type star, Photometry and Binary star. His Wolf–Rayet star study incorporates themes from Star cluster and Single star.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of mass-loss on the evolution and pre-supernova properties of red supergiants (111 citations)
  • A Modern Search for Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Magellanic Clouds: First Results (70 citations)
  • Discovery of a Thorne–Żytkow object candidate in the Small Magellanic Cloud (50 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Galaxy

Philip Massey mostly deals with Stars, Astrophysics, Red supergiant, Local Group and Astronomy. As part of his studies on Stars, Philip Massey often connects relevant areas like Galaxy. His study in Supergiant, Metallicity, O-type star, Photometry and Supernova are all subfields of Astrophysics.

His Supergiant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Effective temperature and Luminosity function. His research investigates the connection with Red supergiant and areas like Star which intersect with concerns in Spectral energy distribution and Be star. His Astronomy study focuses on Radial velocity in particular.
