Scientific paper

Recent XMM-Newton and HST observations suggest that many X-ray luminous groups at intermediate redshifts are still in the process of formation. We propose Chandra observations of two z=0.35 groups that appear to be in the earliest stages of collapsing. In particular, neither group contains a dominant early-type galaxy and both have X-ray and optical morphologies consistent with a recently collapsed system. Chandra's high spatial resolution will be used to cleanly separate out the emission of the individual galaxies from the more extended group component, allowing us to study the morphology of the intragroup gas in detail. The Chandra data will also be used to search for substructure and temperature variations in the hot gas, as might be expected for a system that has recently formed.
