<i>Chandra</i>centres for COSMOS X-ray galaxy groups: differences in stellar properties between central dominant and offset brightest group galaxies

<i>Chandra</i>centres for COSMOS X-ray galaxy groups: differences in stellar properties between central dominant and offset brightest group galaxies

We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters and groups in the $\sim2$ square degree of the COSMOS field using all available X-ray observations from the XMM-Newton and Chandra observatories. We reach an X-ray flux limit of $3\times10^{-16}\;ergs\;cm^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ in 0.5--2 keV range, and identify 247 X-ray groups with …
