Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gamma ray, Cherenkov radiation and High Energy Stereoscopic System. Galaxy, Supernova remnant, Crab Nebula, Blazar and Cosmic ray are among the areas of Astrophysics where Werner Hofmann concentrates his study. His studies in Astronomy integrate themes in fields like Flux and HEGRA.

His Gamma ray research incorporates elements of Spectral line, Spectral energy distribution, Photon, Galactic plane and Pulsar. His Cherenkov radiation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Telescope, Photomultiplier and Orders of magnitude. His research in High Energy Stereoscopic System intersects with topics in X-ray binary and Binary system.

His most cited work include:

  • Gaia Data Release 2 Summary of the contents and survey properties (5259 citations)
  • Gaia Data Release 2: The astrometric solution (1534 citations)
  • The LHCb detector at the LHC (1510 citations)

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

Werner Hofmann mostly deals with Astrophysics, Astronomy, Nuclear physics, Gamma ray and Particle physics. His Astrophysics research incorporates themes from High Energy Stereoscopic System, Cherenkov radiation and Flux. Werner Hofmann has researched Cherenkov radiation in several fields, including Energy and Telescope.
