Awards & Achievements

2013 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For his worldleading stature in observational and theoretical astrophysics including studies of the Symbiotic Variables, Star Formation, Recurrent and Classical Novae, Solar System Formation, and the Structure of the Galaxy

2002 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Milky Way

Scott J. Kenyon mainly investigates Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Planet and Planetary system. His Astrophysics study focuses mostly on T Tauri star, Molecular cloud, Galaxy, Stellar evolution and White dwarf. Accretion, AURIGA, Spectral energy distribution, Galactic Center and Star formation are the core of his Astronomy study.

His Stars study which covers Emission spectrum that intersects with Visible spectrum. His Formation and evolution of the Solar System, Exoplanet and Beta Pictoris study, which is part of a larger body of work in Planet, is frequently linked to Debris, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Planetary system research includes themes of Protoplanet, Star cluster, Stellar mass and Open cluster.

His most cited work include:

  • Pre-Main-Sequence Evolution in the Taurus-Auriga Molecular Cloud (1705 citations)
  • The FU Orionis Phenomenon (696 citations)
  • Spectral energy distributions of T Tauri stars - Disk flaring and limits on accretion (574 citations)

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

Scott J. Kenyon mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Planet and White dwarf. Accretion, T Tauri star, Radial velocity, Galaxy and Binary star are subfields of Astrophysics in which his conducts study. Astronomy is a component of his Stellar evolution, Star formation, Light curve, Debris disk and Emission spectrum studies.

The concepts of his Stars study are interwoven with issues in Halo and Galactic halo. His Planet research includes elements of Astrobiology and Solar System. Scott J. Kenyon has researched White dwarf in several fields, including Supernova, Orbital period, Photometry, Gravitational wave and Low Mass.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (91.41%)
  • Astronomy (60.65%)
  • Stars (45.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Astronomy (60.65%)
  • Astrophysics (91.41%)
  • Planet (18.38%)

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

Scott J. Kenyon focuses on Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planet, Stars and Planetary system. In his works, Scott J. Kenyon performs multidisciplinary study on Astronomy and Debris. His study in White dwarf, Radial velocity, Luminosity, Gemini Planet Imager and Halo is done as part of Astrophysics.

The various areas that Scott J. Kenyon examines in his Planet study include Astrobiology and Solar System. His Stars study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Galaxy, Hypervelocity and Galactic halo. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Planetary system, focusing on Protoplanet and, on occasion, Super-Earth, Spiral galaxy and Gas giant.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Resolving the HD 100546 Protoplanetary System with the Gemini Planet Imager: Evidence for Multiple Forming, Accreting Planets (129 citations)
  • MMT HYPERVELOCITY STAR SURVEY. III. THE COMPLETE SURVEY (123 citations)
  • MMT Hypervelocity Star Survey III: A Complete Survey of Faint B-type Stars in the Northern Milky Way Halo (119 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Solar System

Scott J. Kenyon spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Stars, Planetary system, Planet and Astronomy. His study in Astrophysics concentrates on White dwarf, Radial velocity, Supernova, Spectral energy distribution and Photometry. The Stars study combines topics in areas such as Galaxy, Galactic halo and Halo.

His studies in Planetary system integrate themes in fields like Protoplanet, Luminosity, Gemini Planet Imager and Asteroid. His work on Exoplanet, Planetesimal and Terrestrial planet as part of his general Planet study is frequently connected to Debris, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study involves Debris disk, Gas giant and Circumstellar dust, a branch of Astronomy.
