Scientific paper

We propose an XMM-Newton survey of a complete X-ray selected sample of nearby galaxy groups. The groups have been selected to overlap with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The XMM observations will provide a vital comparison sample to X-ray selected group samples being studied at high redshift. We will use the XMM observations to: 1) Determine the properties of the intragroup medium in a representative sample of X-ray groups; 2) Quantify the incidence of cool cores in groups; 3) Study the evolution of the galaxy population in X-ray groups from z=1 to the present; 4) Determine the formation timescales of brightest group galaxies and 5) Compare the AGN populations in X-ray groups to clusters.
