Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Astronomy, Molecular cloud, Protostar and Star formation. His work on Astrophysics is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Radiative transfer. His Astronomy study which covers Wavelength that intersects with Line-of-sight, Mean kinetic temperature and Bipolar outflow.

In his work, Computational physics is strongly intertwined with Accretion, which is a subfield of Molecular cloud. His work on Infrared dark cloud as part of general Protostar study is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. Ralf Launhardt usually deals with Star formation and limits it to topics linked to Extinction and Bulge.

His most cited work include:

  • From filamentary clouds to prestellar cores to the stellar IMF: Initial highlights from the Herschel Gould Belt survey (1271 citations)
  • The Nuclear Bulge of the Galaxy. III. Large-Scale Physical Characteristics of Stars and Interstellar Matter (387 citations)
  • The Nuclear Bulge of the Galaxy. III. Large-Scale Physical Characteristics of Stars and Interstellar Matter (387 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Star formation and Planet. In general Astrophysics, his work in Bok globule, Molecular cloud and Protostar is often linked to Context linking many areas of study. His Molecular cloud study incorporates themes from Extinction and Interstellar medium.

His work on Proper motion and Main sequence as part of general Stars research is frequently linked to Population, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study explores the link between Star formation and topics such as Low Mass that cross with problems in Hydrostatic equilibrium. In his research on the topic of Planet, Rotation period is strongly related with Radial velocity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (79.12%)
  • Astronomy (43.96%)
  • Stars (30.77%)

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

  • Astrophysics (79.12%)
  • Planet (21.25%)
  • Stars (30.77%)

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

Ralf Launhardt mostly deals with Astrophysics, Planet, Stars, Exoplanet and Radial velocity. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Radiative transfer and Opacity. His Planet research includes elements of Brightness, Star and Very Large Telescope.

His study with Stars involves better knowledge in Astronomy. His work deals with themes such as Orbital period and Stellar classification, which intersect with Exoplanet. Ralf Launhardt has researched Radial velocity in several fields, including Rotation period, Telescope, Analyser, Terrestrial planet and Neptune.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70 (277 citations)
  • Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70 (272 citations)
  • Spectrum radial velocity analyser (SERVAL). High-precision radial velocities and two alternative spectral indicators (161 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

Ralf Launhardt mainly investigates Astrophysics, Planet, Exoplanet, Radial velocity and Astronomy. Many of his Astrophysics research pursuits overlap with Context, Christian ministry, German science, Almeria and European union. The study incorporates disciplines such as Brightness and Orbital period in addition to Planet.

His study in Exoplanet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Planetary system, Surface gravity and Effective temperature. His Radial velocity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rotation period and Neptune. His studies in Astronomy integrate themes in fields like Near-infrared spectroscopy and Slow rotation.
