Miller, Eric D., Rykoff, Eli, Dupke, Renato De Alencar, De Oliveira, Claudia Mendes, McKay, Timothy, Koester, Benjamin
We present Chandra snapshot observations of the first large X-ray sample of optically identified fossil groups. For 9 of 14 candidate groups, we are able to determine the X-ray luminosity and...
Groups of Galaxies at Intermediate Redshift (2009)
Miller, Eric D., Bautz, Marshall, Grant, Catherine, Hickox, Ryan, Brodwin, Mark, Murray, Stephen, ...
Galaxy groups are key tracers of galaxy evolution, cluster evolution, and structure formation, yet they are difficult to study at even moderate redshift. We have undertaken a project to observe a...
Suzaku Observations of Abell 1795: Cluster Emission to R_200 (2009)
Bautz, Marshall W., Miller, Eric D., Sanders, Jeremy S., Arnaud, Keith A., Mushotzky, Richard F., Porter, F. Scott, ...
We report Suzaku observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 1795 that extend to r_200 ~ 2 Mpc, the radius within which the mean cluster mass density is 200 times the cosmic critical density. These...
High-Velocity Clouds in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy M 83 (2008)
Miller, Eric D., Bregman, Joel N., Wakker, Bart P.
We present deep HI 21-cm and optical observations of the face-on spiral galaxy M 83 obtained as part of a project to search for high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in nearby galaxies. Anomalous-velocity...
Plucinsky, Paul P., Haberl, Frank, Dewey, Daniel, Beardmore, Andrew P., DePasquale, Joseph M., Godet, Olivier, ...
The flight calibration of the spectral response of CCD instruments below 1.5 keV is difficult in general because of the lack of strong lines in the on-board calibration sources typically available....
On the lack of strong O-line excess in the Coma cluster outskirts from Suzaku (2008)
Takei, Yoh, Miller, Eric D., Bregman, Joel N., Kimura, Shunsuke, Ohashi, Takaya, Mitsuda, Kazuhisa, ...
About half of the baryons in the local Universe are thought to reside in the so-called warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) at temperatures of 0.1-10 million K. Thermal soft excess emission in the...

The Plasma Structure of the Cygnus Loop from the Northeastern Rim to the Southwestern Rim (2007)
Tsunemi, Hiroshi, Katsuda, Satoru, Nemes, Norbert, Miller, Eric D.
The Cygnus Loop was observed from the northeast to the southwest with XMM-Newton. We divided the observed region into two parts, the north path and the south path, and studied the X-ray spectra along...
Suzaku Observations of the North Polar Spur: Evidence for Nitrogen Enhancement (2007)
Miller, Eric D., Tsunemi, Hiroshi, Bautz, Mark W., McCammon, Dan, Fujimoto, Ryuichi, Hughes, John P., ...
We present observations of the North Polar Spur (NPS) using the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) aboard the Suzaku X-ray satellite. The NPS is a large region of enhanced soft X-ray and radio emission...
The Size of the Cooling Region of Hot Gas in Two Elliptical Galaxies (2006)
Bregman, Joel N., Otte, Birgit, Miller, Eric D., Irwin, Jimmy A.
Some early-type galaxies show OVI emission, a tracer of gas at 10^5.5 K, and a predicted product of gas cooling from the X-ray emitting temperatures. We studied the spatial extent and velocity...
OVI Observations of Galaxy Clusters: Evidence for Modest Cooling Flows (2006)
Bregman, Joel N., Fabian, A. C., Miller, Eric D., Irwin, Jimmy A.
A prediction of the galaxy cluster cooling flow model is that as gas cools from the ambient cluster temperature, emission lines are produced in gas at subsequently decreasing temperatures. Gas...
Kang Li, Eric D. Miller, Lee E. Weiss, Phil G. Campbell, Takeo Kanade
Automated visual-tracking of cell population in vitro using phase-contrast time-lapse microscopy is vital for the quantitative and systematic study of cell behaviors, including spatiotemporal...
OVI in Elliptical Galaxies: Indicators of Cooling Flows (2005)
Bregman, Joel N., Miller, Eric D., Athey, Alex E., Irwin, Jimmy A.
Early-type galaxies often contain a hot X-ray emitting interstellar medium (3-8E6 K) with an apparent radiative cooling time much less than a Hubble time. If unopposed by a heating mechanism, the gas...
High-Velocity Clouds in M 83 and M 51 (2004)
Miller, Eric D., Bregman, Joel N.
Various scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin of the Galactic high-velocity clouds, predicting different distances and implying widely varying properties for the Galaxy's gaseous halo....
Hot Baryons in Supercluster Filaments (2004)
Miller, Eric D., Dupke, Renato A., Bregman, Joel N.
Most of the baryons in the local universe are ``missing'' in that they are not in galaxies or in the previously detected gaseous phases. These missing baryons are predicted to be in a moderately hot...
Cosmic Filaments in Superclusters (2004)
Bregman, Joel N., Dupke, Renato A., Miller, Eric D.
Large-scale structure calculations show that modest overdensity filaments will connect clusters of galaxies and these filaments are reservoirs of baryons, mainly in gaseous form. To determine whether...

The Detection of a Cooling Flow Elliptical Galaxy from OVI Emission (2001)
Bregman, Joel N., Miller, Eric D., Irwin, Jimmy A.
Cooling flow models for the hot gas in elliptical galaxies predict that gas is cooling at a rate of ~ 1 solar mass/yr, yet there is little evidence for this phenomenon beyond the X-ray waveband. If...
Constraints on Cool Gas in Rich Clusters of Galaxies (1999)
Miller, Eric D., Bregman, Joel N., Knezek, Patricia M.
Cool gas should be present in galaxy clusters due to stripping of galactic gas, infall onto the cluster, and from cooling flows. We searched for this gas through resonance absorption line...
The Closest Damped Lyman Alpha System (1998)
Miller, Eric D., Knezek, Patricia M., Bregman, Joel N.
A difficulty of studying damped Lyman alpha systems is that they are distant, so one knows little about the interstellar medium of the galaxy. Here we report upon a damped Lyman alpha system in the...
Duus, Karen M., Miller, Eric D., Smith, Jonathan A., Kovalev, Grigoriy I., Su, Lishan
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is frequently attenuated after long-term culture in vitro. The attenuation process probably involves mutations of functions required for replication and...
