Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Planet
  • Solar System

Sara Seager spends much of her time researching Astrophysics, Planet, Exoplanet, Astronomy and Planetary system. In Astrophysics, Sara Seager works on issues like Atmosphere, which are connected to Secondary atmosphere, Hot Jupiter, Opacity and Abundance. Her studies in Planet integrate themes in fields like Stars and Solar System.

Sara Seager combines subjects such as Astrobiology, Photometry and Transit with her study of Exoplanet. Her work deals with themes such as Radius and Radial velocity, which intersect with Transit. Her research investigates the link between Kepler-62 and topics such as Kepler-62e that cross with problems in Orbital period.

Her most cited work include:

  • Kepler Planet-Detection Mission: Introduction and First Results (2997 citations)
  • The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (1688 citations)
  • Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (1654 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Exoplanet, Planet, Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astrobiology. Her Exoplanet research incorporates themes from Atmosphere, Orbital period, Terrestrial planet, Neptune and Photometry. She specializes in Planet, namely Planetary system.

Astrophysics is frequently linked to Radius in her study. Her Astrobiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biosignature and Planetary habitability. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dwarf star and Orbital eccentricity in addition to Radial velocity.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Exoplanet (59.65%)
  • Planet (54.16%)
  • Astronomy (45.17%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Exoplanet (59.65%)
  • Planet (54.16%)
  • Astrophysics (42.76%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Exoplanet, Planet, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Radial velocity. Her research in Exoplanet intersects with topics in Astrobiology, Neptune, Photometry and Orbital eccentricity. Her research in Planet is mostly focused on Planetary system.

Her work on Stars, Photometry, Star and Orbit is typically connected to Population as part of general Astrophysics study, connecting several disciplines of science. Sara Seager works in the field of Astronomy, namely Terrestrial planet. As a member of one scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Radial velocity, focusing on Super-Earth and, on occasion, Outer planets.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Revised TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List. (271 citations)
  • The revised TESS Input Catalog and candidate target list (270 citations)
  • TESS Discovery of an Ultra-short-period Planet around the Nearby M Dwarf LHS 3844 (106 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Planet
  • Exoplanet

Her primary areas of study are Planet, Exoplanet, Astrophysics, Stars and Astronomy. Sara Seager studies Planet, namely Planetary system. Sara Seager focuses mostly in the field of Planetary system, narrowing it down to topics relating to James Webb Space Telescope and, in certain cases, Metallicity.

The concepts of her Exoplanet study are interwoven with issues in Light curve, Surface gravity and Orbital eccentricity. In the subject of general Astrophysics, her work in Photometry and Orbit is often linked to Subgiant, Population and Theoretical models, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The Asteroseismology, Low Mass and Binary star research Sara Seager does as part of her general Stars study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Type, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
