Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Richard M. McDermid mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Lenticular galaxy and Elliptical galaxy. His Astrophysics and Star formation, Stellar kinematics, Stellar population, Velocity dispersion and Metallicity investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. Richard M. McDermid works mostly in the field of Star formation, limiting it down to topics relating to Active galactic nucleus and, in certain cases, Molecular cloud and Field galaxy.

His study on Virgo Cluster is often connected to Angular momentum as part of broader study in Galaxy. His Galaxy formation and evolution, Stellar mass, Bulge, Telescope and Initial mass function investigations are all subjects of Astronomy research. His research in Lenticular galaxy intersects with topics in Galaxy merger and Equivalent width.

His most cited work include:

  • The SAURON project - IV. The mass-to-light ratio, the virial mass estimator and the Fundamental Plane of elliptical and lenticular galaxies (955 citations)
  • Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Survey: Mapping nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (915 citations)
  • Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Survey: Mapping nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (915 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Star formation and Elliptical galaxy. Stellar kinematics, Lenticular galaxy, Metallicity, Stellar population and Stars are among the areas of Astrophysics where he concentrates his study. The concepts of his Stellar kinematics study are interwoven with issues in Supermassive black hole, Schwarzschild radius and Black hole.

His Metallicity study combines topics in areas such as Globular cluster, Fornax Cluster and Initial mass function. His Velocity dispersion, Early type, Spiral galaxy and Stellar mass study, which is part of a larger body of work in Galaxy, is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Accretion, Active galactic nucleus, Luminosity, Observatory and Star cluster in addition to Star formation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (99.79%)
  • Galaxy (90.36%)
  • Astronomy (55.14%)

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

  • Astrophysics (99.79%)
  • Galaxy (90.36%)
  • Metallicity (17.82%)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Galaxy, Metallicity, Astronomy and Star formation. Astrophysics is a component of his Stellar population, Stellar mass, Stellar kinematics, Velocity dispersion and Elliptical galaxy studies. His Galaxy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stars and Black hole.

His Metallicity research integrates issues from Globular cluster, Fornax Cluster, Accretion, Initial mass function and Effective radius. His work on Sky, Milky Way, Quasar and Integral field spectrograph as part of general Astronomy research is frequently linked to Kinematics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Spectral line and Spiral galaxy as well as Star formation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (753 citations)
  • Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Mapping the Milky Way, Nearby Galaxies and the Distant Universe (728 citations)
  • Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Mapping the Milky Way, Nearby Galaxies and the Distant Universe (728 citations)

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

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Galaxy, Star formation, Astronomy and Stellar mass. His research on Galaxy focuses in particular on Elliptical galaxy. His work deals with themes such as Redshift and Spiral galaxy, which intersect with Star formation.

In general Astronomy study, his work on Quasar and Variation often relates to the realm of Kinematics, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Stellar mass research includes themes of Supermassive black hole and Galaxy cluster. His Stellar population study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Initial mass function and Stellar dynamics.
