Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Redshift, Chandra Deep Field South and Galaxy. His Astrophysics study combines topics in areas such as X-ray and X-ray astronomy. His research integrates issues of Radio astronomy, Galaxy cluster and Optical spectra in his study of X-ray.

His Chandra Deep Field South research incorporates elements of Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer, Spectroscopy and Emission spectrum. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Luminosity, Very Large Telescope is strongly linked to Flattening. His work focuses on many connections between Observatory and other disciplines, such as Telescope, that overlap with his field of interest in Wavelet transform, Wavelet, Proportional counter and Field of view.

His most cited work include:

  • Chandra Deep Field South: The 1 Ms Catalog (566 citations)
  • Chandra Deep Field South: The 1 Ms Catalog (566 citations)
  • Evidence for x Rays From Sources Outside the Solar System (561 citations)

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

Riccardo Giacconi mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, X-ray and X-ray astronomy. His study in Redshift, Chandra Deep Field South, Luminosity, ROSAT and Active galactic nucleus are all subfields of Astrophysics. His work carried out in the field of Chandra Deep Field South brings together such families of science as Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer and Hubble Deep Field.

As part of his studies on Astronomy, Riccardo Giacconi frequently links adjacent subjects like Einstein Telescope. Galaxy is closely attributed to Emission spectrum in his study. His work deals with themes such as Satellite, Satellite observation, Observatory, Pulsar and Neutron star, which intersect with X-ray astronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (90.78%)
  • Astronomy (69.27%)
  • Galaxy (41.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2015)?

  • Astrophysics (90.78%)
  • Astronomy (69.27%)
  • Redshift (26.54%)

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

Riccardo Giacconi focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Redshift, Chandra Deep Field South and Galaxy. His Astrophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as X-ray. His work on Telescope, X-ray telescope, Galaxy cluster and Universe as part of general Astronomy research is frequently linked to Geology, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His work in the fields of Redshift, such as Redshift survey, overlaps with other areas such as Log-normal distribution. His Chandra Deep Field South research includes themes of Hubble Deep Field, Absorption, Photometry and Emission spectrum. Riccardo Giacconi works in the field of Galaxy, focusing on QSOS in particular.

Between 2003 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • The Chandra Deep Field-South: Optical Spectroscopy. I.* (558 citations)
  • X-ray spectral properties of active galactic nuclei in the Chandra deep field south (359 citations)
  • X-ray spectral properties of AGN in the Chandra Deep Field South (354 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Galaxy

Astrophysics, Astronomy, Redshift, Chandra Deep Field South and Active galactic nucleus are his primary areas of study. Riccardo Giacconi connects Astrophysics with Past history in his study. His Redshift research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectroscopy and Emission spectrum.

His research investigates the connection between Chandra Deep Field South and topics such as Absorption that intersect with problems in Galaxy formation and evolution. His Active galactic nucleus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Luminosity and Cosmic ray. The study incorporates disciplines such as Solid angle and Photometry in addition to Galaxy.
