Abstract

Determining the mass content and distribution of galaxy groups is crucial for a better understanding of their rôle in structure and galaxy formation and evolution. Here we discuss, using the sample of groups in the 2dF as an example, how the mass properties of groups from large surveys can be constrained using gravitational lensing.
