Physics

Scientific paper

Galaxy groups are vital to our understanding of structure formation, cluster evolution, and galaxy evolution, yet they are difficult to study at even moderate redshift. We propose Chandra/ACIS observations of two groups as part of an ongoing project to observe a flux-limited sample of intermediate-redshift (z > 0.1) groups identified by the XBootes Chandra survey. This will complete a flux-limited subset of the sample for which we have confirmed group redshifts. With the unique multiwavelength coverage of the XBootes field, we aim to understand the physical connection between the X-ray and optical properties of groups, and to probe the evolution of group X-ray emission in order to constrain the non-gravitational physics affecting the energetics of the intragroup medium.
