Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Infrared

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Brown dwarf and T Tauri star. His study in Planet, Planetary system, Accretion, Star formation and Planetary mass is done as part of Astrophysics. His Planet research incorporates elements of Brightness and Radius.

Ray Jayawardhana is studying Radial velocity, which is a component of Stars. His study in Brown dwarf is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Low Mass, Open cluster and Stellar classification. His T Tauri star research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Position angle, Spectral line and Surface brightness.

His most cited work include:

  • The Gemini Deep Planet Survey (316 citations)
  • The t tauri phase down to nearly planetary masses : Echelle spectra of 82 very low mass stars and brown dwarfs (308 citations)
  • UBVRI Light Curves of 44 Type Ia Supernovae (299 citations)

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

Ray Jayawardhana mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Brown dwarf and T Tauri star. His study in Planet, Accretion, Planetary system, Low Mass and TW Hydrae falls within the category of Astrophysics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmosphere, Radial velocity, Spectroscopy and Astrobiology, Solar System.

His Stars research includes themes of Primary and Mid infrared. His Brown dwarf study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spectral line, Stellar classification, Emission spectrum, Photometry and Planetary mass. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Infrared, narrowing it down to issues related to the Wavelength, and often Vega.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (100.33%)
  • Astronomy (61.56%)
  • Stars (57.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (100.33%)
  • Brown dwarf (43.32%)
  • Astronomy (61.56%)

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

Astrophysics, Brown dwarf, Astronomy, Stars and Planet are his primary areas of study. His work is connected to Planetary system, Stellar classification, Very Large Telescope, Hot Jupiter and Photometry, as a part of Astrophysics. The Brown dwarf study combines topics in areas such as Effective temperature, Star formation, Proper motion, Star cluster and Low Mass.

His is doing research in Infrared and Sky, both of which are found in Astronomy. His Stars study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Spectral line. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spectroscopy, Atmosphere, Telescope and Radial velocity in addition to Planet.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • CLOSE COMPANIONS TO YOUNG STARS. I. A LARGE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY IN CHAMAELEON I AND TAURUS-AURIGA (157 citations)
  • Close Companions to Young Stars. I. A Large Spectroscopic Survey in Chamaeleon I and Taurus-Auriga (156 citations)
  • NEAR-INFRARED THERMAL EMISSION FROM WASP-12b: DETECTIONS OF THE SECONDARY ECLIPSE IN Ks, H, AND J (108 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Infrared

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Stars, Brown dwarf, Astronomy and Planetary system. Stellar classification, Effective temperature, Hot Jupiter, Planet and Very Large Telescope are among the areas of Astrophysics where Ray Jayawardhana concentrates his study. His research ties Spectral energy distribution and Stars together.

His research in Brown dwarf intersects with topics in Adaptive optics, Star formation, Spitzer Space Telescope, Stellar evolution and Low Mass. His study in the fields of Telescope and Sky under the domain of Astronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as Multiplicity and Sensitivity. His Sky research incorporates themes from Accretion and Emission spectrum.
