Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Astronomy
Astrophysics
Electron

Richard I. Klein mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Star formation, Stars, Gravitation and Accretion. His work on Interstellar cloud as part of general Astrophysics research is frequently linked to Magnetic cloud, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research on Star formation frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Molecular cloud.

Richard I. Klein interconnects Critical value, Orion Nebula, Perturbation and Star cluster, Mass segregation in the investigation of issues within Molecular cloud. His studies in Gravitation integrate themes in fields like Dimensionless quantity and Instability. Accretion is a primary field of his research addressed under Astronomy.

His most cited work include:

The Jeans Condition: A New Constraint on Spatial Resolution in Simulations of Isothermal Self-gravitational Hydrodynamics (823 citations)
The Jeans Condition: A New Constraint on Spatial Resolution in Simulations of Isothermal Self-gravitational Hydrodynamics (823 citations)
On the hydrodynamic interaction of shock waves with interstellar clouds. 1: Nonradiative shocks in small clouds (573 citations)

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

Richard I. Klein spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Star formation, Molecular cloud, Accretion and Astronomy. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Turbulence and Magnetohydrodynamics. In general Star formation study, his work on Protostar often relates to the realm of Outflow, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

In his research, Supernova remnant and Shock wave is intimately related to Interstellar medium, which falls under the overarching field of Molecular cloud. His study focuses on the intersection of Accretion and fields such as Radiation with connections in the field of Electron and Atomic physics. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Stars, focusing on Gravitation and, on occasion, Dimensionless quantity and Orbital period.

He most often published in these fields:

Astrophysics (110.19%)
Star formation (43.95%)
Molecular cloud (32.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

Astrophysics (110.19%)
Magnetohydrodynamics (21.66%)
Star formation (43.95%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Magnetohydrodynamics, Star formation, Turbulence and Molecular cloud. Richard I. Klein works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to topics relating to Astronomy and, in certain cases, Computer simulation, as a part of the same area of interest. Richard I. Klein works mostly in the field of Magnetohydrodynamics, limiting it down to topics relating to Computational physics and, in certain cases, Mach number, Ambipolar diffusion, Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and Infrared.

His Molecular cloud research integrates issues from Critical value and Zeeman effect. His research in Accretion intersects with topics in Angular momentum, Protoplanetary disk, Magnetic reconnection and Uniform field. Richard I. Klein combines subjects such as Cosmic dust, Gravitation, Laminar flow and Instability with his study of Stars.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Star cluster formation in turbulent, magnetized dense clumps with radiative and outflow feedback (116 citations)
Star cluster formation in turbulent, magnetized dense clumps with radiative and outflow feedback (116 citations)
An unstable truth: how massive stars get their mass (107 citations)
