Collaborative Research: Galaxy Groups in Focus: Bridging Galaxy Formation and Cosmology — NSF Award to University of Colorado at B
Rather than alone or in dense clusters, most galaxies are found near a few others, in what astronomers call galaxy groups. Because of their ubiquity, they are important tracers of the underlying dark matter distribution. As such, they can be reliable tools for confronting predictions from cosmology. However, this can o

| Abstract | Rather than alone or in dense clusters, most galaxies are found near a few others, in what astronomers call galaxy groups. Because of their ubiquity, they are important tracers of the underlying dark matter distribution. As such, they can be reliable tools for confronting predictions from cosmology. However, this can only happen if the complex gas and stellar properties of these systems are well understood.
