Abstract 

The redshifts measured allowed the completion of the redshift survey of 2MASS galaxies within 1.5 Mpc from groups of galaxies of a well studied sample (see papers below). This sample was used to investigate the correlation between mass, M, and luminosity (2MASS, Ks-band), L, of groups of galaxies. Over the entire mass range covered by this sample, the Ks luminosity increases with mass implying that the mass-to-light ratio in the Ks band increases with mass.
