ABSTRACT
Galaxy groups are a key environment for studies of feedback processes, galaxy evolution and structure formation, but biases in current optical or X-ray selected samples hamper these efforts. We defined a complete optically-selected sample of 53 nearby groups suitable for X-ray and radio follow-up, and recently published a study of the X-ray properties and role of AGN feedback in the richer 26-group subsample. We now propose to observe the 17 groups needed to complete the full sample. In combination with our completed CO and multi-band radio surveys, these observations will allow detailed studies of the gas content, physical properties, and feedback history of an unbiased sample of groups, and significantly improve our understanding of the mass distribution of the local volume.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
