Scientific paper

We propose an IRAC and MIPS imaging survey of the NGC 2563 group of galaxies. As one of the nearest X-ray groups, this system is an ideal target to study the role of galaxy-intragroup medium interactions in galaxy evolution. We have been awarded a large program with Chandra to trace the hot baryons in this group and have used the VLA to measure the HI properties of the group members down to very low gas masses. The proposed Spitzer observations will be used to map out the dusty ISM, study the old stellar populations and quantify the star formation properties of the group members. Combined with our extensive optical, HI and X-ray data, the Spitzer data will provide a complete census of the major baryonic components in this group. A key element of our program is that we are studying the group population out to the virial radius of the system. Our program has been designed to provide the first comprehensive study of the galaxies in an X-ray group and in many ways is the group equivalent to the extensive studies of richer systems like the Virgo and Coma clusters.
