Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astrophysics
  • Astronomy
  • Thermodynamics

Valentine Wakelam mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astrochemistry, Molecular cloud, Interstellar medium and Accretion. The Astrophysics study combines topics in areas such as Astronomy and Chemical composition. Her Astrochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Chemical network and Desorption.

Her Desorption research incorporates themes from Evaporation, Abundance and Organic molecules. As a part of the same scientific family, Valentine Wakelam mostly works in the field of Interstellar medium, focusing on Chemical process modeling and, on occasion, COSMIC cancer database and Mineralogy. In her work, Circumstellar envelope is strongly intertwined with Cosmic dust, which is a subfield of Accretion.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Hot Core around the Low-Mass Protostar IRAS 16293–2422: Scoundrels Rule! (408 citations)
  • Non-thermal desorption from interstellar dust grains via exothermic surface reactions (404 citations)
  • Non-thermal desorption from interstellar dust grains via exothermic surface reactions (404 citations)

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

Valentine Wakelam spends much of her time researching Astrophysics, Astrochemistry, Interstellar medium, Protostar and Molecular cloud. Her work deals with themes such as Analytical chemistry, Astronomy and Chemical composition, which intersect with Astrophysics. Her study in Astrochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chemical physics, Ionization and Atomic physics.

Her studies deal with areas such as Cosmic dust, Evaporation and Thermal desorption as well as Interstellar medium. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Line, Spectral resolution and Low Mass. Her research in Molecular cloud intersects with topics in Accretion, Solar System and Planet.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (98.09%)
  • Astrochemistry (55.73%)
  • Interstellar medium (29.01%)

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

  • Astrophysics (98.09%)
  • Astrochemistry (55.73%)
  • Chemical physics (17.94%)

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

Valentine Wakelam mainly investigates Astrophysics, Astrochemistry, Chemical physics, Interstellar medium and Phase. Her Astrophysics study combines topics in areas such as Analytical chemistry and Chemical composition. She combines Astrochemistry and Kinetic energy in her research.

Her Chemical physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Desorption, Binding energy and Molecular cloud. Her Interstellar medium study typically links adjacent topics like Abundance. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Protostar, Star formation and Work is strongly linked to Low Mass.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A new look at sulphur chemistry in hot cores and corinos (33 citations)
  • Oxygen fractionation in dense molecular clouds (23 citations)
  • The Difference in Abundance between N-bearing and O-bearing Species in High-mass Star-forming Regions (19 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Thermodynamics
  • Astrophysics

Valentine Wakelam mostly deals with Astrochemistry, Astrophysics, Chemical physics, Interstellar medium and Phase. Her Astrochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thermal desorption, Mineralogy and Chemical composition. Her work on Protostar as part of general Astrophysics study is frequently linked to Context and Radiative transfer, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her Chemical physics research incorporates themes from Number density, Desorption and Molecular cloud. Her study in Molecular cloud is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oxygen atom, Atom, Cosmic dust and Photodissociation. By researching both Interstellar medium and Nitrogen, she produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
