## Abstract The study of (dwarf) galaxies in nearby groups is one among the most powerful tools that can be used to investigate galaxy evolution, chemical enrichment and environmental effects on these objects. The Centaurus A group (at a distance of βΌ4 Mpc) is dynamically evolved and contains about
## Abstract In recent years, infrared studies of individual galaxy clusters at intermediate redshifts led to the identification of several luminous infrared galaxies (__L__~IR~ > 10^11^ L~β~). These findings were interpreted as an evidence ofvigorous, dustβenshrouded star formation activity, hintin
