Why Study <strong>Groups</strong>?<br />

• <strong>Groups</strong> are where most galaxies live, <strong>and</strong> are<br />

the building blocks <strong>of</strong> LSS<br />

• A laboratory for galaxy mergers, <strong>and</strong> mergerinduced<br />

activity <strong>and</strong> feedback (σ gal ~ σ stars )<br />

• An incubator for ellipticals: “The centers <strong>of</strong><br />

massive groups are the preferred environment<br />

for the merger-driven assembly <strong>of</strong> massive<br />

ellipticals” (McIntosh et al. 2007)
