XMM-Newton and Optical Observations of Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS (2009)

Hilton, Eric J., Szkody, Paula, Mukadam, Anjum, Henden, Arne, Dillon, William, Schmidt, Gary D.

We report on XMM-Newton and optical results for 6 cataclysmic variables that were selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra because they showed strong HeII emission lines, indicative of being...

Constraining the Age-Activity Relation for Cool Stars: The SDSS DR5 Low-Mass Star Spectroscopic Sample (2007)

West, Andrew A., Hawley, Suzanne L., Bochanski, John J., Covey, Kevin R., Reid, I. Neill, Dhital, Saurav, ...

We present a spectroscopic analysis of over 38,000 low-mass stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5). Analysis of this unprecedentedly large sample confirms the previously...

XMM-Newton Observations of the Cataclysmic Variable GW Lib (2007)

Hilton, Eric J., Szkody, Paula, Mukadam, Anjum, Mukai, Koji, Hellier, Coel, Van Zyl, Liza, ...

XMM-Newton observations of the accreting, pulsating white dwarf in the quiescent dwarf nova GW Librae were conducted to determine if the non-radial pulsations present in previous UV and optical data...

Osteology of the Quillfish, Ptilichthys goodei (Perciformes: Zoarcoidei: Ptilichthyidae) (2005)

Eric J. Hilton, Nathan J. Kley

The Quillfish, Ptilichthys goodei, is a slender, elongate fish distributed along the coastline of the North Pacific from Oregon to the Sea of Japan. It is the sole member of the monotypic family...

Grouped Tooth Replacement in the Oral Jaws of the Tripletail, Lobotes surinamensis (Perciformes: Lobotidae), with a Discussion of Its Proposed Relationship to Datnioides (2005)

Eric J. Hilton, William E. Bemis

Lobotes surinamensis is a widely distributed marine perciform and is the sole member of the family Lobotidae, which has unclear phylogenetic affinities. In this paper we describe and illustrate a...

Methods for Preparing Dry, Partially Articulated Skeletons of Osteichthyans, with Notes on Making Ridewood Dissections of the Cranial Skeleton (2004)

William E. Bemis, Eric J. Hilton, Barbara Brown, Radford Arrindell, Alan M. Richmond, Colin D. Little, ...

We describe methods for preparing dry skeletons of virtually any osteichthyan species with a well-ossified skeleton, including very large specimens (e.g., > 1 m Megalops atlanticus). Our approach...

Observations on Rostral Canal Bones of Two Species of Acipenser (Actinopterygii, Acipenseriformes) (2002)

Eric J. Hilton

Comparative osteological studies of the sturgeon genus Acipenser are rare. In this paper, the rostral canal bones of Acipenser brevirostrum and Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus are compared and three...

Tongue Bite Apparatus of Osteoglossomorph Fishes: Variation of a Character Complex (2001)

Eric J. Hilton

Osteoglossomorpha were first defined on the basis of two characters: (1) the parasphenoid-tongue bite apparatus (TBA); and (2) the presence of processes associated with the second hypobranchial...
