Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

T. C. Weekes spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Flux and Crab Nebula. Astrophysics is a component of his Blazar, Flare, Active galactic nucleus, Telescope and Light curve studies. His research investigates the connection with Telescope and areas like Cherenkov radiation which intersect with concerns in Aperture and Pixel.

As a part of the same scientific family, T. C. Weekes mostly works in the field of Astronomy, focusing on Gamma-ray astronomy and, on occasion, Strange matter and X-ray telescope. He works on Gamma ray which deals in particular with BL Lac object. His study in Crab Nebula is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Milky Way and Point source.

His most cited work include:

  • Detection of TeV photons from the active galaxy Markarian 421 (670 citations)
  • Observation of TeV gamma rays from the Crab Nebula using the atmospheric Cerenkov imaging technique (517 citations)
  • Extremely rapid bursts of TeV photons from the active galaxy Markarian 421 (338 citations)

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

T. C. Weekes mainly investigates Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Telescope and Observatory. In the field of Astrophysics, his study on Crab Nebula, Blazar and Flare overlaps with subjects such as Flux. His work is dedicated to discovering how Astronomy, Gamma-ray astronomy are connected with High-energy astronomy and Cherenkov detector and other disciplines.

T. C. Weekes has included themes like Spectral line, Spectral index, Radiation and Supernova in his Gamma ray study. His research integrates issues of Gamma-ray burst, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Egret and Radiation imaging in his study of Telescope. T. C. Weekes combines subjects such as Reflector and Sky with his study of Observatory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (86.20%)
  • Astronomy (61.02%)
  • Gamma ray (43.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2015)?

  • Astrophysics (86.20%)
  • Astronomy (61.02%)
  • Gamma ray (43.10%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Telescope and Crab Nebula. His study deals with a combination of Astrophysics and Flux. In his research, Astronomical telescopes is intimately related to Cherenkov radiation, which falls under the overarching field of Astronomy.

His Gamma ray research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spectral line, Pulsar and Photon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gamma-ray burst, Crab Pulsar, Gamma-ray astronomy and Radiation imaging in addition to Telescope. He has researched Crab Nebula in several fields, including Supernova remnant and Be star.

Between 2008 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy (232 citations)
  • A connection between star formation activity and cosmic rays in the starburst galaxy M82 (223 citations)
  • Insights into the high-energy γ-ray emission of Markarian 501 from extensive multifrequency observations in the Fermi era (212 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Optics

His primary areas of investigation include Astrophysics, Astronomy, Blazar, Gamma ray and Active galactic nucleus. His work on Spectral energy distribution, Crab Nebula, Telescope and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope as part of his general Astrophysics study is frequently connected to Flux, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Telescope study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cherenkov radiation and Observatory.

His study looks at the relationship between Cherenkov radiation and fields such as Photon, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work deals with themes such as Spectral line and Redshift, which intersect with Blazar. T. C. Weekes interconnects Flare and Radio galaxy in the investigation of issues within Gamma ray.
