Where are the estimates of the baseline hazard in the output of coxph?

Thanks,
Jim

Nowhere.  They are not in Cox's (1972) paper either!  (One place is in the 
discussion of that paper, but the point is that they are an orthogonal 
concept to partial likelihood estimation of the coefficients.)

You use survfit() on a coxph fit object to compute them.
