What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Astronomy
- Galaxy
- Astrophysics
Pierre-Alain Duc focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Star formation and Redshift.
All of his Astrophysics and Dwarf galaxy, Luminosity, Galaxy cluster, Metallicity and Luminous infrared galaxy investigations are sub-components of the entire Astrophysics study.
He focuses mostly in the field of Galaxy cluster, narrowing it down to topics relating to Star cluster and, in certain cases, Globular cluster.
His Stars research extends to the thematically linked field of Galaxy.
His research on Star formation focuses in particular on Stellar population.
As part of the same scientific family, Pierre-Alain Duc usually focuses on Redshift, concentrating on ROSAT and intersecting with Cosmology and Scale structure.
His most cited work include:
- The ATLAS3D project – I. A volume-limited sample of 260 nearby early-type galaxies: science goals and selection criteria (886 citations)
- Systematic variation of the stellar initial mass function in early-type galaxies (559 citations)
- The ATLAS3D project – XX. Mass–size and mass–σ distributions of early-type galaxies: bulge fraction drives kinematics, mass-to-light ratio, molecular gas fraction and stellar initial mass function (517 citations)
