Scientific paper

For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. Therefore, the evolution of most galaxies actually happens in groups. The Milky Way resides in a group, and groups can be found at high redshift. The current generation of 10-m-class telescopes and space facilities allows us to study members of nearby groups with exquisite detail, and their properties can be correlated with the global properties of their host group. Finally, groups are relevant for cosmology, since they trace large-scale structures better than clusters, and the evolution of groups and clusters may be related.
