Galaxy Groups in the SDSS DR4: I. The Catalogue and Basic Properties

Yang, Xiaohu, Mo, H. J., Bosch, Frank C. van den et al.

Understand

We use a modified version of the halo-based group finder developed by Yang et al.

to select galaxy groups from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4).
In the first step, a combination of two methods is used to identify the centers of potential groups and to estimate their characteristic luminosity.
Using an iterative approach, the adaptive group finder then uses the average mass-to-light ratios of groups, obtained from the previous iteration, to assign a tentative mass to each group.
