Abstract. Shakhbazian compact galaxy groups belong to the interesting class of compact groups. Because of their large number (the catalogue contains 377 entries) we are able to study the groups in different stages of evolution. Here we give the results of detailed study of four groups, ShCG 154, ShCG 166, ShCG 328 and ShCG 360. We present the redshifts of individual galaxies in groups, the results of the surface photometry in BVR, the contourplots of the surface brightness versus effective radius of galaxies, the twisting postion angle versus effective radius of galaxies, the radial velocity dispersions, the crossing times, the mass-to-luminosity ratios of groups and the results of the X-ray study. The dynamical state of groups, interactions between member galaxies, and the physical parameters of groups are discussed.

“…214 SHK groups lie in the sky area covered by the SDSS DR5. Among these 214 groups, we selected those for which a first order estimate of the distance was possible, averaging either spectroscopic redshifts from literature or spectroscopic redshifts available in the SDSS DR5, for all galaxies contained in the catalogue by (Stoll et al 1993a,b,; Stoll, Tiersch & Braun 1996a,b,c; Stoll, Tiersch & Cordes 1997a; Stoll, Tiersch & Braun 1997b; Stoll, Tiersch & Cordis 1997c). 2 The same process has been used to derive the centroids of the groups using the coordinates of the single galaxies in the catalogue by Stoll et al…”

We present a systematic study of the subsample of Shakhbazyan (SHK) groups covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). SHK groups probe an environment with characteristics which are intermediate between those of loose and very compact groups. Surprisingly, we found that several groups identifying algorithms, e. g. Berlind et al. and Tago et al., miss this type of structures. Using the SDSS DR5 spectroscopic data and the photometric redshifts derived in D'Abrusco et al., we identified possible group members in photometric redshift space and derived, for each group, several individual properties (richness, size, mean photometric redshift, fraction of red galaxies, etc.). We also combined pointed and stacked Rosat All Sky Survey (RASS) data to investigate the X-ray luminosities of these systems. Our study confirms that the majority of groups are physical entities with richness in the range 3-13 galaxies, and properties ranging between those of loose and compact groups. We confirm that SHK groups are richer in early-type galaxies than the surrounding environment and the field, as expected from the morphology - density relation and from the selection of groups of red galaxies. Furthermore, our work supports the existence of two subclasses of structures, the first one being formed by compact and isolated groups and the second formed by extended structures. We suggest that while the first class of objects dwells in less dense regions like the outer parts of clusters or the field, possibly sharing the properties of Hickson Compact Groups, the more extended structures represent a mixture of [core + halo] configurations and cores of rich clusters. X-ray luminosities for SHK groups are generally consistent with these results and with the expectations for the L(X)-sigma(v) relation, but also suggest the velocity dispersions reported in literature are underestimated for some of the richest systems

“…There was also one duplication (Shkh 214 = Shkh 252). Thus we searched for FIR emission in the IRAS archives at the positions of 367 SCGGs with accurate coordinates measured from the Digitized Sky Survey or other data (Stoll et al 1993a(Stoll et al ,b, 1994a(Stoll et al ,b, 1996a(Stoll et al ,b,c, 1997a. The IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC), the Faint Source Catalog (FSC) and the Faint Source Catalog Rejects (FSCR) were first searched for positional matches within SCGG boundaries.…”

Abstract. Using the IRAS archives, we searched for farinfrared (FIR) counterparts of Shakhbazian Compact Groups of Galaxies (SCGGs). Reliable IRAS detections are identified at the positions of 24 out of 367 SCGGs; another 10 IRAS sources, located within ∼ 2 arcmin of SCGGs, are possibly associated with the corresponding galaxy groups. Some of these sources are not very reliable. Previous work has shown that the fraction of E and S0 galaxies in a representative sample of SCGGs is 77%, while E and S0 galaxies comprise about 51% of galaxies in Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs). The higher fraction of early Hubble types, combined with their greater distances, explains the low IRAS detection rate of SCGGs (7 − 8%) compared to HCGs (64%). The FIR colors and morphological types of galaxies in the groups suggest that active star formation or Seyfert galaxies may be the main source of the FIR emission in the SCGGs detected by IRAS, perhaps originating as the result of tidal interactions in the dense environments of these groups.
