“…We thus demanded that a CG contain at least three giant galaxies with "accordant" redshifts within 1000 km s −1 of the group's mean redshift, be closer than ∼4500 km s −1 , and span less than ∼8′ on the sky. In spite of concerns about selection biases in the Hickson catalog (Mamon 1994;Ribeiro et al 1998), it has been shown that several characteristic properties of HCG galaxies are comparable to median galaxy values (e.g., surface brightness and linear or angular diameters, Lee et al 2004, T14). One of our CGs comes from the catalog of Redshift Survey Compact Groups (RSCGs, Barton et al 1996).…”

“…This kind of association is often classified as a loose group, but we call it a core+halo group, following Ribeiro et al (1998).…”

“…However, if only a spectroscopic criterion is used for HCGs, the spiral fraction remains quite high, of the order of 40% (see Fig. 3 of Ribeiro et al 1998). Hence, it seems that our confirmed compact groups have indeed a smaller fraction of late-type galaxies than HCGs.…”

“…An additional smaller member galaxy was latter identified by de Carvalho et al (1997), leading to a group mean radial velocity of 2629 ± 33 km s −1 and velocity dispersion of 40 ± 28 km s −1 (Ribeiro et al 1998). The group's angular diameter is about 6 .…”
