Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Galaxy, Supernova, Astronomy and Star formation. His study in Neutron star, Stars, Luminosity, Magnetar and Radiation pressure is done as part of Astrophysics. In his work, Plateau de Bure Interferometer, Milky Way, Velocity dispersion, Local Group and Large Magellanic Cloud is strongly intertwined with Molecular cloud, which is a subfield of Galaxy.

His Supernova study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cosmic ray, Secondary electrons, Neutrino, White dwarf and Light curve. His work on Supernova impostor, Luminous red nova and r-process as part of general Astronomy study is frequently connected to Population, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His studies deal with areas such as Gravitational potential, Dwarf galaxy, Galaxy formation and evolution, Interstellar medium and Quasar as well as Star formation.

His most cited work include:

  • ON THE MAXIMUM LUMINOSITY OF GALAXIES AND THEIR CENTRAL BLACK HOLES: FEEDBACK FROM MOMENTUM-DRIVEN WINDS (922 citations)
  • Radiation Pressure-supported Starburst Disks and Active Galactic Nucleus Fueling (640 citations)
  • Radiation Pressure Supported Starburst Disks and AGN Fueling (621 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Supernova, Galaxy, Astronomy and Stars. His work in the fields of Astrophysics, such as Star formation, Neutron star, Luminosity and Light curve, intersects with other areas such as Transient. The various areas that Todd A. Thompson examines in his Star formation study include Molecular cloud, Galaxy formation and evolution, Interstellar medium, Spiral galaxy and Eddington luminosity.

In his research, Electron is intimately related to Neutrino, which falls under the overarching field of Supernova. The concepts of his Galaxy study are interwoven with issues in Cosmic ray and Radiation pressure. His research in Astronomy is mostly concerned with Radio galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (108.65%)
  • Supernova (67.00%)
  • Galaxy (43.26%)

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

  • Astrophysics (108.65%)
  • Supernova (67.00%)
  • Galaxy (43.26%)

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

Todd A. Thompson focuses on Astrophysics, Supernova, Galaxy, Light curve and Stars. His work in the fields of Astrophysics, such as Luminosity, Neutron star and Star formation, overlaps with other areas such as Population. His research investigates the link between Star formation and topics such as Star cluster that cross with problems in Photon.

His research investigates the connection between Supernova and topics such as Photometry that intersect with issues in Ultraviolet. He has included themes like Cosmic ray and Flux in his Galaxy study. His Stars study is related to the wider topic of Astronomy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Magnetar Origin for the Kilonova Ejecta in GW170817 (117 citations)
  • The Cow: Discovery of a Luminous, Hot, and Rapidly Evolving Transient (94 citations)
  • Discovery of a Candidate Black Hole - Giant Star Binary System in the Galactic Field (85 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Supernova, Light curve, Galaxy and Variable star. He works mostly in the field of Astrophysics, limiting it down to topics relating to Spectral line and, in certain cases, Bubble, as a part of the same area of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Redshift, Radius, Spiral galaxy, Photometry and Asteroid.

His Redshift research incorporates themes from Star formation and Millimeter. His Light curve study combines topics in areas such as Luminosity and Exoplanet. His work on Accretion and Active galactic nucleus as part of general Galaxy research is often related to Maximum flux and Research council, thus linking different fields of science.
