Motivation
• Groups poorly studied relative to clusters
• Suppression occurs at group-like densities (2dF, SDSS)
• What is the timescale ?• Are galaxies in groups pre-
processed ?• What is the physical mechanism ?

Physical Processes in Groups
• Ram pressure stripping • Interactions & Harassment• Mergers• Group tidal field• Strangulation/Suffocation • Overlapping dark matter halos

GEMS
Group Evolution Multi-wavelength Study
Aim: to understand how the group environment affects galaxy evolution and how groups themselves evolve.
Method: multi-wavelength data and mock catalogues.

GEMS Sample Selection
• Catalogues of Galaxy Groups • 14 < D < 43 Mpc• ROSAT PSPC 10,000sec=> 60 nearby groups with a range of X-
ray properties, ie dynamically young groups with no IGM to virialised old groups with a hot, dense IGM. Includes both compact and loose groups.

• 16 Groups mapped with the Parkes multibeam instrument over 5.5 degrees
• Mass limit of ~ 108 Msun
• 2x deeper than HIPASS survey• 10x better velocity resolution than
HIPASS• 15 arcmin beam (hence ATCA followup)

Virial Radius
• Calculate Rvirial for groups using σ or TX ?
• Statistical problems calculating σ for low N systems
• Systematic bias in σ• Physical reasons for a low σ (dynamical
friction, orientation effects)• Xrays only probe small fraction of virial
radius => use both σ and TX !

Fundamental Plane
Deviant galaxies have young stellar populations and/or disturbed morphology

Collapsed Groups ?
• Typical isolated galaxy MB = -20.5, LX/LB = 30
• One potential collapsed group:NGC 1132MB = -22.0, log LX = 43.0 erg/s, LX/LB = 32
ΔM12 = 2.2, featureless morphology,
old stellar population

Future Work
• Stellar population analysis, eg NGC 821
• Focus on `transition’ galaxies, ie E + disk = spiral eg NGC 821
• HI in isolated ellipticals, ie 10% detected in HIPASS
• Measuring dark halo mass, eg via dwarfs or Xrays

Conclusions
• Xray halos of ellipticals not stripped
• Optical LF dip in young, low LX groups
• HI mapping probes dynamical processes
• Many group galaxies beyond Rvirial
• Most isolated ellipticals obey scaling relations, and are not collapsed groups
