"The evolution of galaxies in groups" Somak Raychaudhury University of Birmingham Most galaxies in the Universe live in groups, and it is now acknowledged that the evolution of galaxies crucially depends on its local environment. I will present results from two multiwavelength (X-ray, optical, radio) observational studies of nearby groups of galaxies, designed to study the physics of the group environment and to identify the important factors that influence galaxy evolution.
