Abstract:
A study of the group properties of galaxies in our immediate
neighborhood provides a singular opportunity to observationally
constrain the halo mass function, a fundamental characterization of
galaxy formation. Detailed studies of individual groups have provided
the coefficients of scaling relations between a proxy for the virial
radius, velocity dispersion, and mass that usefully allow groups to be
defined over the range 1010-1015M☉. At a second hierarchical
level, associations are defined as regions around collapsed halos
extending to the zero-velocity surface at the decoupling from cosmic
expansion. The most remarkable result of the study emerges from the
construction of the halo mass function from the sample. At
∼1012M☉, there is a jog from the expectation Sheth-Tormen
function, such that halo counts drop by a factor ∼3 in all lower mass
bins.
Description:
We construct an all-sky sample of 15004 galaxies in groups with
VLS<3500km/s. There are 1536 groups with two or more members
involving 7714 galaxies. See sections 3 and 10 for further explanations.

Note (1): In our catalog based on the PGC ID of the most luminous galaxy of
the group from which the clustering process is started.
Note (2): Of the group parent association.
Note (3): Based on the integration of the Ks-band luminosity of all galaxies in
group. From the 2MRS11.75 catalog (Huchra+ 2012, J/ApJS/199/26), we
have at least the coverage of all galaxies brighter than Ks=11.75mag.
Note (4): In the Cosmicflows-3 (CF3) catalog (Tully+ 2016, J/AJ/152/50).
Note (5): Based on the mass estimate from total luminosity, Equation 7:
Mν=2.0x106σ3p
Note (6): Calculated based on the radial velocities of its members, Equation 3:
σp=(Σi(νi-<ν>)2/N)0.5
Note (7): Based on their luminosity mass, Equation 6:
R2t=0.215M121/3 where M12=Mν/1012M☉
Note (8): Based on Equation 4:
Rg=N2/(Σi>j1/Rij) where
Rg is the projected group radius, Rij is the projected distance
between galaxy pairs, N is the number of group candidates, and
each pair is counted only once.
Note (9): Derived from the Ks-band luminosity by using M/L ratios given
in Equation 8.
Note (10): Calculated from virial radius and dynamical velocity dispersion
using Equation 5:
Mν=σ23Drg/G=(απ/2G)σ2pRg
where σ3D is the three-dimensional velocity dispersion,
σ3D=α0.5^σp. The parameter α depends on
the degree of virialization of orbits, and following
Tully (2015AJ....149...54T 2015AJ....149...54T), we assume α=2.5.
