Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Redshift, Galaxy and Quasar. His work in Astrophysics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Spectral line. His research in the fields of Baryon acoustic oscillations and Hubble's law overlaps with other disciplines such as Omega.

His research in Galaxy intersects with topics in Line and Spectrograph. His studies deal with areas such as Boss, Milky Way, Astronomical spectroscopy, Black hole and Dust emission as well as Quasar. His Supernova research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Age of the universe, Supernova Legacy Survey and Deceleration parameter.

His most cited work include:

  • Measurements of $\Omega$ and $\Lambda$ from 42 high redshift supernovae (13453 citations)
  • Measurements of Omega and Lambda from 42 High-Redshift Supernovae (12244 citations)
  • The Supernova Legacy Survey: Measurement of Omega_M, Omega_Lambda,and w from the First Year Data Set (2139 citations)

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

Richard G. McMahon mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Redshift, Astronomy, Galaxy and Quasar. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectral line and Emission spectrum. His research investigates the connection between Redshift and topics such as Supernova that intersect with problems in Light curve.

Astronomy is represented through his Luminous infrared galaxy, Active galactic nucleus, Telescope, Cosmology and Stars research. His study in Galaxy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Line and Observatory. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Astronomical spectroscopy, Dark energy, Spectral energy distribution and Radio galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (83.04%)
  • Redshift (51.18%)
  • Astronomy (50.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (83.04%)
  • Quasar (41.45%)
  • Galaxy (43.07%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Quasar, Galaxy, Redshift and Astronomy. His study in Dark energy, Sky, Photometry, Star formation and Gravitational wave is carried out as part of his studies in Astrophysics. His Quasar study also includes fields such as

  • Emission spectrum and related Boss and Spectral resolution,
  • Spectral energy distribution which connect with New Technology Telescope.

His studies in Galaxy integrate themes in fields like Cosmology and Observatory. His research integrates issues of Luminosity, Stellar mass and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope in his study of Redshift. His Astronomy research includes elements of Time delays and Library science.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing (670 citations)
  • The Dark Energy Survey: more than dark energy - an overview (513 citations)
  • The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-infrared Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models (498 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Electrical engineering

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, Redshift, Quasar and Galaxy. His Astrophysics study which covers Cosmic microwave background that intersects with Weak gravitational lensing. His Astronomy research incorporates themes from Aerospace engineering and Library science.

His study in Redshift focuses on Hubble's law in particular. His Angular diameter distance study in the realm of Hubble's law connects with subjects such as Omega. Richard G. McMahon has researched Quasar in several fields, including Photometry and Emission spectrum.
