Most previous studies of groups NGC 940 NGC 1587 have either used optically-selected samples to examine galaxy populations, or X-ray selected samples (usually derived from the Rosat All-Sky Survey) to investigate gas properties. While these approaches have yielded important results, their selection methods mean they are subject to significant biases. 4' Optically-selected5' samples often include false groups, since at low masses 5' 4' 5' 5' 5' selection must be made using only a few galaxies.

Background Cluster Sample: We have created the Complete Local-Volume Groups Sample NGC 2768 (CLoGS), an optically-selected statistically-complete sample of 53 groups in the NGC 1106 NGC 1779 nearby Universe (D<80 Mpc), with complete coverage in the X-ray (Chandra NGC 1167 NGC 3078 and XMM-NewtonNGC), multi-frequency978 radio (GMRT 235 and 610 MHz) and, for the NGC 2292 dominant galaxies, CO (IRAM 30m and APEX). This combination of data allows Background us to examine the gas content of the groups, their dynamical state, and the role Cluster of AGN feedback in maintaining their thermal balance. 2' We5' select our sample from the Lyon5' Galaxy Group catalogue (LGG, Garcia5' 5' 5' 5' LGG 236 1993, A&AS 100, 47), choosingLGG 177 groups which have: LGG 205 LGG 232 LGG 255 LGG 262 LGG 278 • ≥ 4 member galaxies (excluding pairs & triples which may lack a common halo) All 53 group-dominant early-type galaxies have been observed in CO(2-1) • ≥ 1 early-type member (as spiral-only groups tend to be hot gas poor) and/or CO(1-0) using the IRAM 30m or APEX telescopes.
