Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Puragra Guhathakurta mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Milky Way and Galaxy formation and evolution. His work in Elliptical galaxy, Metallicity, Stars, Red-giant branch and Globular cluster is related to Astrophysics. In his study, Supernova is strongly linked to Abundance of the chemical elements, which falls under the umbrella field of Metallicity.

His study in Luminous infrared galaxy, Galaxy group, Star formation, Brightest cluster galaxy and Lenticular galaxy is carried out as part of his studies in Astronomy. All of his Galaxy and Dwarf galaxy, Redshift, Velocity dispersion, Stellar mass and Extended Groth Strip investigations are sub-components of the entire Galaxy study. His Milky Way research incorporates themes from Spiral galaxy and Radial velocity.

His most cited work include:

  • Star Formation in AEGIS Field Galaxies since z = 1.1: The Dominance of Gradually Declining Star Formation, and the Main Sequence of Star-forming Galaxies (1619 citations)
  • Galaxy luminosity functions to z∼ 1 from DEEP2 and COMBO-17: Implications for red galaxy formation (991 citations)
  • The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Design, Observations, Data Reduction, and Redshifts (583 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Milky Way. His Metallicity, Red-giant branch, Dwarf galaxy, Globular cluster and Halo study are his primary interests in Astrophysics. The various areas that he examines in his Dwarf galaxy study include Luminosity and Surface brightness.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Photometry and Photometry. His study in Galaxy concentrates on Velocity dispersion, Redshift, Local Group, Virgo Cluster and Star formation. Puragra Guhathakurta combines subjects such as Radius and Luminosity function with his study of Stars.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (96.77%)
  • Galaxy (59.86%)
  • Astronomy (51.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (96.77%)
  • Galaxy (59.86%)
  • Stars (34.18%)

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

Puragra Guhathakurta focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Stars, Astronomy and Milky Way. His Astrophysics and Metallicity, Halo, Red-giant branch, Globular cluster and Virgo Cluster investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. He interconnects Stellar population, Luminosity and Surface brightness in the investigation of issues within Virgo Cluster.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Photometry and Galaxy. His study in Milky Way is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Accretion, Extinction, Galaxy formation and evolution and Velocity dispersion. As a member of one scientific family, Puragra Guhathakurta mostly works in the field of Dwarf galaxy, focusing on Coma Cluster and, on occasion, Stellar density.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Triangulum II. Not Especially Dense After All (81 citations)
  • The Globular Cluster Systems of Ultra-diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster (59 citations)
  • Dark Matter in Ultra-diffuse Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster from Their Globular Cluster Populations (58 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way
  • Astronomy

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Stars and Virgo Cluster. Milky Way, Metallicity, Velocity dispersion, Globular cluster and Halo are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. As part of the same scientific family, Puragra Guhathakurta usually focuses on Galaxy, concentrating on Photometry and intersecting with Early type, C-Star and Carbon star.

Borrowing concepts from Field of view, he weaves in ideas under Astronomy. Many of his research projects under Stars are closely connected to Solar radius and Primordial black hole with Solar radius and Primordial black hole, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study looks at the relationship between Virgo Cluster and fields such as Photometry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
