Groups of galaxies in the ROSAT north ecliptic pole surveyThe X-ray properties of groups of galaxies are presented. Their distribution of luminosity and temperature appears to be associated with the extrapolation of these distributions from rich clusters of galaxies. The properties of the ensemble of groups of galaxies are almost totally unknown. Only a few X-ray observations of groups that were selected by optical methods were published so far. A sample of eight groups with 'z' inferior to 0.04, of which three have 'z' inferior to 0.03 was investigated. The temperature and the luminosity functions at one point were determined.
