Scientific paper

Galaxy groups are ideal systems to study baryon physics, which is important for both using clusters for precision cosmology and understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Over the last decade, our understanding on the ICM properties of galaxy groups has been greatly improved. However, there is no a representative group sample with Chandra or XMM that allows full coverage to r_500. We defined such a sample of 13 galaxy groups that are X-ray luminosity selected from the 400 deg^2 survey (REGOS4). The low-L_X bin was approved in the last XMM cycle. Complete Chandra coverage (mostly short exposures) and other supporting data have also been obtained. We now propose to observe the high-L_X bin with XMM to finish REGOS4 and ensure a continuous L_X coverage from REXCESS to REGOS4.
