Scientific paper

One of the strongest, untested cosmological predictions is the scatter of the concentrations of dark matter halos on the group scale. To quantify this scatter of concentrations requires well-defined samples. We propose a novel systematic study of the core properties of 15 groups representing a complete, X-ray flux-limited sample. In addition to dark matter properties, we will address: (1) entropy and non-gravitational heating, (2) central iron abundances and stellar enrichment, (3) AGN heating and the cooling flow paradox, and (4) the formation of central galaxies. The implications of these measurements for cosmology, supernovae history, star formation and AGN heating will be assessed with numerical simulations. We request observations of 10 unobserved groups in our sample
