Scientific paper

PALEO is an ongoing study of fossil groups designed to probe the physical pro- cesses responsible for fossil group formation and the role of environment in their evolution. At its core is the first volume-limited, complete sample of fossil candidates, optically selected from the SDSS DR4. The existing large-scale spectroscopic data is being complemented with deep optical surface brightness observations which will probe the IGL component in fossil groups for the first time. X-ray observations for the first half of the targets in our sample have been scheduled during AO6. The observations we propose here would complete the sample, and are an essential component of our study, allowing us to confirm the fossil nature of these groups and examine the physical and chemical state of their IGM.
