Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Particle physics
  • Electron

W. Parker spends much of his time researching LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, Binary black hole and Neutron star. He interconnects Dimensionless quantity, Sky and Binary star in the investigation of issues within LIGO. His work on GW151226 as part of general Gravitational wave research is frequently linked to Population, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Black hole, Stars, LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Supernova and Kilonova are subfields of Astrophysics in which his conducts study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gravitational wave background, Redshift and Interferometry in addition to Binary black hole. W. Parker usually deals with Neutron star and limits it to topics linked to Amplitude and Nuclear physics, Luminosity, Particle physics and Nucleon.

His most cited work include:

  • Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger (7103 citations)
  • GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (2671 citations)
  • Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A (1739 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Particle physics, LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astrophysics and Branching fraction. His Particle physics study combines topics in areas such as Luminosity and Nuclear physics. His LIGO study incorporates themes from Gamma-ray burst, Binary black hole, Black hole and Neutron star.

He works mostly in the field of Gravitational wave, limiting it down to topics relating to Sky and, in certain cases, Frequency band, as a part of the same area of interest. His work in the fields of Stars, Redshift, Supernova and Galaxy overlaps with other areas such as Population. His Branching fraction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lambda, Baryon and Lepton.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Particle physics (44.03%)
  • LIGO (49.49%)
  • Gravitational wave (44.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Particle physics (44.03%)
  • Branching fraction (24.57%)
  • LIGO (49.49%)

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

His main research concerns Particle physics, Branching fraction, LIGO, Gravitational wave and Luminosity. His study looks at the relationship between Particle physics and fields such as Observable, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The concepts of his Branching fraction study are interwoven with issues in B meson, Rapidity and Lepton.

His work on Gravitational-wave astronomy as part of his general LIGO study is frequently connected to Communication channel, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Particularly relevant to Binary black hole is his body of work in Gravitational wave. W. Parker has included themes like Energy, Resonance and Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix in his Luminosity study.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass ∼ 3.4 M ⊙ (463 citations)
  • GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass ∼ 3.4 M ⊙ (463 citations)
  • GW190412: Observation of a binary-black-hole coalescence with asymmetric masses (205 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Particle physics

W. Parker mainly focuses on LIGO, Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, Neutron star and Particle physics. W. Parker is interested in Gravitational-wave astronomy, which is a field of LIGO. His specific area of interest is Gravitational wave, where W. Parker studies Binary black hole.

His research in Astrophysics is mostly concerned with Black hole. His Neutron star study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coalescence, Dimensionless quantity, Vela and LIGO Scientific Collaboration. His studies deal with areas such as Luminosity and Observable as well as Particle physics.
