Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way

Shoko Sakai mainly investigates Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Cepheid variable and Red-giant branch. Her study in Spiral galaxy, Luminosity and Universe falls within the category of Astrophysics. Her work in Galaxy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Stars.

The Cepheid variable study combines topics in areas such as Cosmic distance ladder and Distance modulus. Her Cosmic distance ladder research includes elements of Surface brightness fluctuation and Hubble's law. Her Red-giant branch research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Horizontal branch and Luminosity function.

Her most cited work include:

  • Final Results from the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant (3058 citations)
  • The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXVIII. Combining the Constraints on the Hubble Constant (541 citations)
  • The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXVIII. Combining the Constraints on the Hubble Constant (527 citations)

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

Shoko Sakai mostly deals with Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Cepheid variable and Cosmic distance ladder. Her Astrophysics study is mostly concerned with Red-giant branch, Distance modulus, Stars, Spiral galaxy and Hubble's law. Her study in Hubble's law is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Calibration and Fundamental plane.

Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Supernova and Galaxy. Her studies deal with areas such as Extinction, Surface brightness fluctuation, Fornax Cluster, Hubble space telescope and Photometry as well as Cepheid variable. Her research in Cosmic distance ladder intersects with topics in Large Magellanic Cloud and Hubble Deep Field South.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (87.37%)
  • Galaxy (53.68%)
  • Astronomy (51.05%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Galactic Center (13.68%)
  • Astrophysics (87.37%)
  • Supermassive black hole (8.95%)

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

Shoko Sakai focuses on Galactic Center, Astrophysics, Supermassive black hole, Astronomy and Stars. Her studies in Galactic Center integrate themes in fields like Star formation, Milky Way and Tests of general relativity. Her studies in Star formation integrate themes in fields like Accretion and Dark matter.

In her works, she undertakes multidisciplinary study on Astrophysics and Flux. Black hole and Galaxy are the areas that her Supermassive black hole study falls under. Her study deals with a combination of Galaxy and Orbital motion.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Relativistic redshift of the star S0-2 orbiting the Galactic Center supermassive black hole (104 citations)
  • Testing General Relativity with stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center (98 citations)
  • Investigating the Binarity of S0-2: Implications for its Origins and Robustness as a Probe of the Laws of Gravity around a Supermassive Black Hole (47 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Milky Way
  • Galaxy

Her primary areas of investigation include Galactic Center, Astrophysics, Supermassive black hole, Stars and Proper motion. Galactic Center is the subject of her research, which falls under Astronomy. Shoko Sakai conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Orbital motion through her works.

Her Star cluster study incorporates themes from Globular cluster, Tests of general relativity, Milky Way, Photometry and Gravitational field. Her Brightness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wavelength, Telescope, Very Large Telescope and Accretion. Her Redshift research is under the purview of Galaxy.
