First large catalog of elliptical galaxies in ROSAT data

Brown is known for her analytic compilation of the first large complete sample of X-ray observations of elliptical galaxies. In 2006, Brown became an Astrophysics Fellow at Goddard, where she was NSSDC's primary interface to such Science Archive Research Centers (SARCs) as the High Energy Astrophysics SARC at Goddard, the Multi-Mission Archive at STScI (MAST) and the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at Caltech. She also helped to "rationalize" NSSDC's legacy holdings of astrophysics data in light of data supported at the SARCs which are also to be permanently archived at NSSDC.
