Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Stellar rotation and Line. Stanley P. Owocki studies Stellar mass which is a part of Astrophysics. His Stars research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gravitation, Gravitational potential and Rotation.

Stanley P. Owocki works mostly in the field of Stellar rotation, limiting it down to concerns involving Radius and, occasionally, Opacity. He has included themes like Acceleration and Supersonic speed in his Line study. His work carried out in the field of Radiative transfer brings together such families of science as Instability and Radial velocity.

His most cited work include:

  • Time-dependent models of radiatively driven stellar winds. I - Nonlinear evolution of instabilities for a pure absorption model (554 citations)
  • Dynamical Simulations of Magnetically Channeled Line-driven Stellar Winds. I. Isothermal, Nonrotating, Radially Driven Flow (404 citations)
  • On the role of continuum-driven eruptions in the evolution of very massive stars and Population III stars (376 citations)

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

Stanley P. Owocki mostly deals with Astrophysics, Stars, Astronomy, Radiative transfer and Line. His work deals with themes such as Spectral line, Emission spectrum and Instability, which intersect with Astrophysics. His Spectral line study combines topics in areas such as Light curve and Absorption.

As part of one scientific family, Stanley P. Owocki deals mainly with the area of Stars, narrowing it down to issues related to the Magnetic field, and often Dipole. His research investigates the connection with Radiative transfer and areas like Computational physics which intersect with concerns in Classical mechanics. His studies deal with areas such as Supergiant, Photosphere and Stellar wind as well as Line.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (89.05%)
  • Stars (50.50%)
  • Astronomy (27.11%)

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

  • Astrophysics (89.05%)
  • Stars (50.50%)
  • Radiative transfer (22.39%)

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

Stanley P. Owocki mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Stars, Radiative transfer, Astronomy and Magnetic field. His Astrophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectral line, X-ray and Magnetosphere. His study in Stars is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Instability, Magnetohydrodynamics, Plasma and Opacity.

His Radiative transfer study incorporates themes from Luminosity and Computational physics. His Magnetic field study which covers Dipole that intersects with OB star. His work focuses on many connections between Line and other disciplines, such as Photosphere, that overlap with his field of interest in Radiation.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The MiMeS survey of magnetism in massive stars: introduction and overview (163 citations)
  • Stellar envelope inflation near the Eddington limit - Implications for the radii of Wolf-Rayet stars and luminous blue variables (157 citations)
  • Clumping in the inner winds of hot, massive stars from hydrodynamical line-driven instability simulations (89 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Stars, O-type star, Astronomy and Magnetic field. The Astrophysics study combines topics in areas such as Magnetohydrodynamics, Opacity, Spectral line, Radiative transfer and Magnetosphere. His Radiative transfer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shock wave, Distribution function and Instability.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Line, Gravitation, Radius and Kinetic energy in addition to Stars. Stanley P. Owocki has researched Line in several fields, including Supergiant, Photosphere and Absorption. His O-type star research focuses on Plasma and how it connects with Shock.
