Galaxies in different group relaxedness state
We study the stellar and gas kinematics of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in dynamically relaxed and unrelaxed galaxy groups in the SAMI and GAMA surveys. We characterize the dynamical state of the groups using the luminosity gap and the BGG offset from the luminosity centroid of the group. We...

We study the stellar and gas kinematics of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in dynamically relaxed and unrelaxed galaxy groups in the SAMI and GAMA surveys.
