Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Astrophysics

Scott Tremaine mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Velocity dispersion and Elliptical galaxy. Black hole, M–sigma relation, Supermassive black hole, Binary star and Protoplanetary disk are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. His research related to Planet, Planetary system, Galaxy merger, Interstellar comet and Comet might be considered part of Astronomy.

His work in Galaxy tackles topics such as Dark matter which are related to areas like Galaxy rotation curve, Boson and Baryon. His Velocity dispersion study incorporates themes from Reverberation mapping, Rings of Saturn and Saturn. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Elliptical galaxy, focusing on Luminous infrared galaxy and, on occasion, Radio galaxy.

His most cited work include:

  • The Demography of massive dark objects in galaxy centers (3345 citations)
  • The Demography of massive dark objects in galaxy centers (3345 citations)
  • A Relationship between Nuclear Black Hole Mass and Galaxy Velocity Dispersion (3321 citations)

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

Scott Tremaine spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, Galaxy, Planet and Stars. His Black hole, Velocity dispersion, Elliptical galaxy and Supermassive black hole study in the realm of Astrophysics connects with subjects such as Eccentricity. The Elliptical galaxy study combines topics in areas such as Radio galaxy and Luminous infrared galaxy.

He works mostly in the field of Astronomy, limiting it down to topics relating to Angular momentum and, in certain cases, Orbital eccentricity, as a part of the same area of interest. His Galaxy study frequently involves adjacent topics like Sigma. His work in Planet addresses subjects such as Solar System, which are connected to disciplines such as Annihilation, Weakly interacting massive particles, WIMP, Neutrino and Halo.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (78.72%)
  • Astronomy (38.30%)
  • Galaxy (30.85%)

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

  • Astrophysics (78.72%)
  • Planet (30.85%)
  • Astronomy (38.30%)

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

Scott Tremaine mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Planet, Astronomy, Planetary system and Supermassive black hole. His work on Galaxy, Black hole, Stars and Quasar is typically connected to Eccentricity as part of general Astrophysics study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Galaxy course of study focuses on Dark matter and Dark matter halo.

In the field of Planet, his study on Hot Jupiter, Orbit and Exoplanet overlaps with subjects such as Fragmentation. He specializes in Astronomy, namely Orbital eccentricity. His work investigates the relationship between Supermassive black hole and topics such as Orbital motion that intersect with problems in Orbital elements.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ultralight scalars as cosmological dark matter (795 citations)
  • THE STATISTICS OF MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS (169 citations)
  • Lidov–Kozai Cycles with Gravitational Radiation: Merging Black Holes in Isolated Triple Systems (152 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Galaxy
  • Milky Way

Scott Tremaine focuses on Astrophysics, Planet, Astronomy, Supermassive black hole and Eccentricity. His study in Galaxy, Cold dark matter, Quasar, Stars and Orbit is done as part of Astrophysics. Scott Tremaine has included themes like Boson, Baryon and Galaxy formation and evolution in his Cold dark matter study.

His Radial velocity study in the realm of Astronomy interacts with subjects such as Kepler-62e. His Supermassive black hole research entails a greater understanding of Black hole. His research in Exoplanet intersects with topics in Astrobiology and Orders of magnitude.
