Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Astronomy

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astronomy and Neutron star. As part of his studies on Astrophysics, Stephen Fairhurst often connects relevant subjects like General relativity. His work on GW151226 as part of general LIGO research is frequently linked to Population, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

In his research, Sky and Waveform is intimately related to Detector, which falls under the overarching field of Gravitational wave. His study in Neutron star is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Amplitude, Order of magnitude and Pulsar. His work carried out in the field of Black hole brings together such families of science as Theoretical physics and Classical mechanics.

His most cited work include:

  • Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger (7103 citations)
  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (2671 citations)

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

Stephen Fairhurst mainly investigates Gravitational wave, LIGO, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Neutron star. The Gravitational wave study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Pulsar, Detector and Sky. His LIGO research integrates issues from Coalescence, Coincident and Interferometry.

His work on Binary black hole, Gamma-ray burst, Black hole and Galaxy as part of general Astrophysics study is frequently linked to Population, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Binary black hole research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Redshift and Stellar black hole. His Neutron star research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stars, Supernova and Kilonova.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gravitational wave (91.25%)
  • LIGO (80.61%)
  • Astrophysics (75.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • LIGO (80.61%)
  • Gravitational wave (91.25%)
  • Astrophysics (75.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, Neutron star and Astronomy. His LIGO research includes themes of General relativity, Stars, Magnetar, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Coincident. His Gravitational wave research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amplitude, Pulsar, Detector and Sky.

His work on Astrophysics deals in particular with Binary black hole, Gamma-ray burst, Black hole, Galaxy and Redshift. Stephen Fairhurst has included themes like Cosmology, Order of magnitude and Kilonova in his Neutron star study. In most of his Astronomy studies, his work intersects topics such as Neutrino.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral (4913 citations)
  • GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2 (1948 citations)
  • Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A (1739 citations)
