Welcome

Welcome to the web page of the X-ray Astrophysics group at the University of Miami. In these pages you will find information on who we are, what we do, as well as a brief introduction to our main research areas: X-ray Astrophysics and Microcalorimeters.
Also included are descriptions of the experiments we are involved with, and the publications resulting from this work.

The group started its activity in August 2002, as Dr. Massimiliano Galeazzi moved to the University of Miami from the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. 

The group is involved in three main activities:

• The study of the diffuse X-ray background and its relation with the composition and evolution of the interstellar and intergalactic medium;
• The study and modeling of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM);
  
• The development of high performance X-ray detectors called cryogenic microcalorimeters for neutrino and dark matter experiments.
