How to connect with a Astrophysics scientist from a reputed institute

In summary, if you are looking for an Astrophysicist from a reputed institute to help you with your paper, it is not advisable to reach out to them through unsolicited emails. It is better to approach a professor or submit your work for publication in a scientific journal. This will ensure that your work is taken seriously and has a higher chance of being recognized.

Can anyone please help me with a Astrophysicist from a reputed institute.
I have a paper to present...but don't know how to reachout to a scientist.
I tried mailing a few scientists but they don't respond back.

Please help.

Academics continuously receive unsolicited manuscripts, and they are invariably from cranks. I am not saying that you fit in that category, but I point it out to tell you that there is no way in which your work can be taken seriously by sending it to someone who doesn't know you.

Are you a student of physics? In that case, approach one of your professors, even if they do not work in that particular field, and ask for advice.

If you are not a student nor somebody with connections in the field, how can you be sure that you have actually made a breakthrough? The probability that someone with no credentials made a new discovery is very, very low.

If you are still convinced that your work is valuable, you can always submit it for publication in a scientific journal. Format your work in the style of an article; you can use the articles you cite as a guide (you are citing from the current literature in the field, aren't you?). You can then send it to a journal in the relevant field.
