Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Galaxy
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Thierry Contini mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and Star formation. Galaxy formation and evolution, Stellar mass, Luminous infrared galaxy, Elliptical galaxy and Luminosity function are the primary areas of interest in his Astrophysics study. His Elliptical galaxy research focuses on Radio galaxy and how it relates to Disc.

Thierry Contini studied Galaxy and Emission spectrum that intersect with Metallicity. His work on Hubble Ultra-Deep Field as part of his general Redshift study is frequently connected to Population, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. As part of one scientific family, Thierry Contini deals mainly with the area of Star formation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Accretion, and often Interstellar medium.

His most cited work include:

  • Mass and environment as drivers of galaxy evolution in SDSS and zCOSMOS and the origin of the Schechter function (1450 citations)
  • The VIMOS VLT deep survey. First epoch VVDS-deep survey: 11 564 spectra with 17.5 ≤ IAB ≤ 24, and the redshift distribution over 0 ≤ z ≤ 5 (626 citations)
  • A test of the nature of cosmic acceleration using galaxy redshift distortions (587 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Galaxy, Redshift, Astronomy and Star formation. His work in the fields of Astrophysics, such as Stellar mass, Galaxy formation and evolution, Luminosity and Luminous infrared galaxy, intersects with other areas such as Population. His study in Emission spectrum extends to Galaxy with its themes.

His research in Redshift intersects with topics in COSMIC cancer database, Satellite galaxy, Halo, Cosmology and Velocity dispersion. The various areas that Thierry Contini examines in his Star formation study include Accretion, Extinction, Interstellar medium and Luminosity function. The Active galactic nucleus study combines topics in areas such as Line and Supermassive black hole.
