Scientific publications

It is possible to get a list of my papers that are present on the preprint server Astro-ph.

The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) maintains an electronic list of essentially all astronomical literature. It provides for recently published papers links to electronic versions of the scientific journals, but you need an electronic subscriptions to access these papers. Papers and reviews in journals and contributions to many proceedings published before 1999 (or so) have all been scanned and are available through ADS and are available without charge. The ADS can select and order publications in various ways, but not always correctly. In particular book reviews, errata and unrefereed contributions to conference proceedings are added to such lists when they appear in refereed journals. Below are links to my papers, ordered and selected in various ways.
Refereed
papers ordered by year of publication.
Refereed papers ordered by the number of citations received.
Non-refereed papers ordered by year of publication.
All papers ordered by number of citations.

Conference proceedings and Nature papers are not available free of charge. Reprints can be downloaded from the following links:
