Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Electron
  • Astronomy
  • Solar System

His primary scientific interests are in Magnetosphere, Astrobiology, Astronomy, Planet and Astrophysics. His work carried out in the field of Magnetosphere brings together such families of science as Charged particle, Atomic physics and Exosphere. His Life on Titan study in the realm of Astrobiology connects with subjects such as Environmental science.

Ralph L. McNutt combines subjects such as Volcano, Pluto, Crust, Spacecraft and Chondrite with his study of Planet. His Astrophysics research integrates issues from Magnetopause and Solar wind. The concepts of his Magnetopause study are interwoven with issues in Mercury's magnetic field and Equator.

His most cited work include:

  • Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer: Enceladus Plume Composition and Structure (471 citations)
  • Liquid water on Enceladus from observations of ammonia and 40 Ar in the plume (373 citations)
  • Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer Results from the First Flyby of Titan (355 citations)

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

Ralph L. McNutt mainly investigates Astrobiology, Astronomy, Magnetosphere, Solar wind and Astrophysics. His Astrobiology research includes elements of Atmosphere and Planet. His studies deal with areas such as Interstellar probe, Coronal mass ejection and Magnetosphere of Saturn as well as Astronomy.

His Magnetosphere research incorporates elements of Electron and Geophysics. His Geophysics study incorporates themes from Mercury's magnetic field and Magnetic reconnection. Ralph L. McNutt focuses mostly in the field of Spacecraft, narrowing it down to topics relating to Spectrometer and, in certain cases, Neutron.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (26.85%)
  • Astronomy (26.85%)
  • Magnetosphere (25.50%)

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

  • Astronomy (26.85%)
  • Astrobiology (26.85%)
  • Astrophysics (14.99%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astronomy, Astrobiology, Astrophysics, Solar System and Interstellar probe. His research integrates issues of Spectrometer and Solar wind in his study of Astronomy. His study in Solar wind is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cosmic ray and Space physics.

Much of his study explores Astrobiology relationship to Planet. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spectral line, Particle, Heliosphere and Plasma. His research investigates the connection with Solar System and areas like Spacecraft which intersect with concerns in Proton.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Alfvénic velocity spikes and rotational flows in the near-Sun solar wind (147 citations)
  • Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt object (75 citations)
  • Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt Object (65 citations)

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

  • Electron
  • Astronomy
  • Solar System

Ralph L. McNutt mostly deals with Astrophysics, Solar System, Astronomy, Spacecraft and Heliosphere. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Spectral line and Solar wind, Plasma. His Solar System study is concerned with the field of Astrobiology as a whole.

The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Rings of Saturn, Atmosphere and Saturn. His Astronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Solar energetic particles and Spectrometer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Magnetometer and Proton in addition to Spacecraft.
