Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Her primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Galaxy formation and evolution and Redshift. Her study in Star formation, Galaxy merger, Stellar mass, Dark matter and Luminosity are all subfields of Astrophysics. Her Stellar mass study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Line and Small Magellanic Cloud.

Her Dark matter study which covers Galaxy cluster that intersects with Correlation function. As a member of one scientific family, Rachel S. Somerville mostly works in the field of Galaxy formation and evolution, focusing on Halo and, on occasion, Mass ratio. Her research in Redshift intersects with topics in Cosmology, Spectral density and Photometry.

Her most cited work include:

  • Profiles of dark haloes: evolution, scatter and environment (2057 citations)
  • Profiles of dark haloes: evolution, scatter and environment (2057 citations)
  • 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 (1738 citations)

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

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Galaxy formation and evolution and Star formation are her primary areas of study. Her study ties her expertise on Astronomy together with the subject of Astrophysics. Her Galaxy research integrates issues from Stars and COSMIC cancer database.

Her Redshift research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cosmology, Sky, Quasar and Photometry. Rachel S. Somerville interconnects Extragalactic background light, Cold dark matter and Dwarf galaxy in the investigation of issues within Galaxy formation and evolution. Rachel S. Somerville has included themes like Metallicity, Interstellar medium, Supernova and Velocity dispersion in her Star formation study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (126.09%)
  • Galaxy (100.47%)
  • Redshift (58.75%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (126.09%)
  • Galaxy (100.47%)
  • Star formation (56.09%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Star formation, Galaxy formation and evolution and Redshift. Her Astrophysics study focuses mostly on Halo, Interstellar medium, Luminosity, Black hole and Active galactic nucleus. Her Galaxy research incorporates elements of Stars and COSMIC cancer database.

Her Star formation research focuses on subjects like Metallicity, which are linked to Initial mass function. Her Galaxy formation and evolution research is classified as research in Astronomy. The concepts of her Redshift study are interwoven with issues in Telescope, Dark matter and Emission spectrum.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan (139 citations)
  • The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the HUDF : co luminosity functions and the molecular gas content of galaxies through cosmic history. (98 citations)
  • The relationship between black hole mass and galaxy properties: Examining the black hole feedback model in IllustrisTNG (73 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Rachel S. Somerville mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Star formation, Stellar mass and Redshift. Her Astrophysics and Galaxy formation and evolution, Interstellar medium, Supernova, Dark matter and Universe investigations all form part of her Astrophysics research activities. Rachel S. Somerville works mostly in the field of Dark matter, limiting it down to topics relating to Lambda and, in certain cases, Halo, as a part of the same area of interest.

Rachel S. Somerville interconnects COSMIC cancer database and Black hole in the investigation of issues within Galaxy. Her Star formation study deals with Accretion intersecting with Intergalactic travel. Her work deals with themes such as James Webb Space Telescope, Baryon and Emission spectrum, which intersect with Redshift.
