Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Quantum mechanics

Stefan Funk mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Gamma ray and Galaxy. His Astrophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Spectral line. The Astronomy study which covers Gamma-ray astronomy that intersects with Interstellar cloud.

His Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, Galactic halo, Luminosity and Pulsar. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including High Energy Stereoscopic System, Cherenkov radiation, Black hole and Sky. His work in Galaxy addresses issues such as Point source, which are connected to fields such as Galaxy cluster and Photon.

His most cited work include:

  • The Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Mission (3084 citations)
  • Fermi Large Area Telescope Second Source Catalog (1327 citations)
  • FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE FIRST SOURCE CATALOG (1311 citations)

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

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Gamma ray and Telescope. His work on Astrophysics deals in particular with Pulsar, Galaxy, Cosmic ray, Blazar and Active galactic nucleus. Stefan Funk has researched Astronomy in several fields, including Gamma-ray astronomy and Cherenkov radiation, Cherenkov Telescope Array.

While the research belongs to areas of Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Stefan Funk spends his time largely on the problem of Dark matter, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Annihilation. His Gamma ray research incorporates themes from Compton scattering, Photon, Flux, Synchrotron and Galactic plane. Stefan Funk combines subjects such as Gamma-ray burst, Observatory and Spectral index with his study of Telescope.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (78.44%)
  • Astronomy (52.29%)
  • Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (45.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Astrophysics (78.44%)
  • Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (45.42%)
  • Astroparticle physics (6.68%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Astroparticle physics, Telescope and Gamma ray. His study in Galaxy, Pulsar, Pulsar wind nebula, Nebula and Cosmic ray is done as part of Astrophysics. Galaxy is the subject of his research, which falls under Astronomy.

His Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope research includes themes of Range, Spectral line, Gamma-ray burst and Redshift. His Telescope study also includes fields such as

  • Quasar that intertwine with fields like Egret,
  • Point source that intertwine with fields like Compton telescope. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Observatory under Gamma ray, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Sky, LIGO and Gamma-ray astronomy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Science with e-ASTROGAM: A space mission for MeV–GeV gamma-ray astrophysics (95 citations)
  • A Decade of Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Fermi-LAT: The Second GRB Catalog (77 citations)
  • A gamma-ray determination of the Universe's star formation history (75 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astrophysics

Stefan Funk mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astroparticle physics, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Galaxy and Cosmic ray. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Particle transport through his works. His Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope research incorporates elements of Star formation, Redshift, Active galactic nucleus and Telescope.

His Galaxy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spectral line and Gamma ray. Cosmic ray is a subfield of Astronomy that Stefan Funk studies. His work on Cherenkov Telescope Array expands to the thematically related Astronomy.
