Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Organic chemistry
  • Optics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Meteorite, Mineralogy, Chondrite, Astrobiology and Asteroid. The Meteorite study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period, Mineral chemistry, Electron micrographs and Natural disaster. His work on Olivine as part of general Mineralogy study is frequently linked to Saponite, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His work on Chondrule as part of general Chondrite research is frequently linked to Dehydration, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Asteroid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rubble, Pile and Regolith. His Comet research focuses on subjects like Formation and evolution of the Solar System, which are linked to Silicate minerals and Asteroid belt.

His most cited work include:

  • Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope. (742 citations)
  • Mineralogy and petrology of comet 81P/wild 2 nucleus samples (545 citations)
  • Chelyabinsk airburst, damage assessment, meteorite recovery, and characterization (378 citations)

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

Tomoki Nakamura mainly focuses on Astrobiology, Chondrite, Asteroid, Mineralogy and Meteorite. Astrobiology is closely attributed to Astronomy in his research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geochemistry and Analytical chemistry.

His research investigates the connection between Asteroid and topics such as Spectral line that intersect with issues in Reflectivity. His Olivine study in the realm of Mineralogy connects with subjects such as Particle. He combines topics linked to Silicate with his work on Meteorite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (39.43%)
  • Chondrite (32.54%)
  • Asteroid (25.42%)

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

  • Asteroid (25.42%)
  • Astrobiology (39.43%)
  • Chondrite (32.54%)

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

Tomoki Nakamura mainly investigates Asteroid, Astrobiology, Chondrite, Meteorite and Mineralogy. His Asteroid research includes elements of Spectral line, Impact crater, Astrophysics and Surface. His work on Moons of Mars, Sample return mission and Comet is typically connected to MMX as part of general Astrobiology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His research integrates issues of Organic matter, Olivine and Analytical chemistry in his study of Chondrite. His work in Meteorite tackles topics such as Meteoroid which are related to areas like Interplanetary dust cloud and Planetary science. His Mineralogy study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Porosity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu-A spinning top-shaped rubble pile. (173 citations)
  • The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes (145 citations)
  • The surface composition of asteroid 162173 Ryugu from Hayabusa2 near-infrared spectroscopy (122 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Organic chemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Asteroid, Meteorite, Astrobiology, Chondrite and Parent body. The Space weathering research Tomoki Nakamura does as part of his general Asteroid study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Sample collection, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Formation and evolution of the Solar System study, which is part of a larger body of work in Meteorite, is frequently linked to Ribose, bridging the gap between disciplines.

In general Astrobiology study, his work on Meteoroid, Moons of Mars and Comet often relates to the realm of Site selection, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The concepts of his Chondrite study are interwoven with issues in Geochemistry and Olivine. His work carried out in the field of Parent body brings together such families of science as Organic matter and Analytical chemistry.
