Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Star formation and Infrared are his primary areas of study. His Astrophysics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Spectral line. Many of his research projects under Galaxy are closely connected to Flux with Flux, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

R. Genzel focuses mostly in the field of Astronomy, narrowing it down to matters related to Near infrared imaging and, in some cases, Adaptive optics and Stellar population. Infrared excess and H band is closely connected to QSOS in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Star formation. His studies in Infrared integrate themes in fields like Interstellar medium, Flare and Molecular cloud.

His most cited work include:

  • What Powers Ultra-luminous IRAS Galaxies? (1034 citations)
  • PHIBSS: molecular gas content and scaling relations in z~1-3 normal star forming galaxies (833 citations)
  • Submillimeter Galaxies at z~2: Evidence for Major Mergers & Constraints on Lifetimes, IMF and CO-H2 Conversion Factor (692 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Star formation and Luminous infrared galaxy. His Astrophysics study combines topics in areas such as Spectral line, Emission spectrum and Infrared. His work carried out in the field of Spectral line brings together such families of science as Orion Nebula and Atomic physics.

His research combines Star and Galaxy. His Luminous infrared galaxy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Radio galaxy and Elliptical galaxy. R. Genzel has researched Galactic Center in several fields, including Milky Way and Black hole.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (80.44%)
  • Galaxy (45.71%)
  • Astronomy (43.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (80.44%)
  • Galaxy (45.71%)
  • Astronomy (43.71%)

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

R. Genzel focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Luminous infrared galaxy. His Astrophysics study focuses mostly on Star formation, Stars, Stellar mass, Accretion and Line. Galaxy connects with themes related to Infrared in his study.

In the subject of general Infrared, his work in Space observatory is often linked to Flux and Plane, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies in Redshift integrate themes in fields like Tully–Fisher relation and Velocity dispersion. The concepts of his Luminous infrared galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Luminosity function and Elliptical galaxy.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The KMOS3D survey: design, first results, and the evolution of galaxy kinematics from 0.7 ≤ z ≤ 2.7 (393 citations)
  • The KMOS^3D Survey: design, first results, and the evolution of galaxy kinematics from 0.7<z<2.7 (390 citations)
  • The Herschel* PEP/HerMES luminosity function - I. Probing the evolution of PACS selected Galaxies to z ≃ 4 (360 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

R. Genzel mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Luminous infrared galaxy, Astronomy and Star formation. Astrophysics is closely attributed to Infrared in his work. His work on Space observatory as part of general Infrared study is frequently linked to Plane and Flux, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work on Velocity dispersion as part of his general Galaxy study is frequently connected to Torus, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. R. Genzel usually deals with Astronomy and limits it to topics linked to Sublimation and Photon flux, Photoionization, Gas torus and Order of magnitude. His Star formation research includes themes of Metallicity and Surface brightness.
