Description:
The catalog is a compilation of ten published lists of compact groups
of compact galaxies found on the Palomar Sky Survey red charts. The
catalog contains 377 groups of compact galaxies and includes
identifications, equatorial coordinates, numbers of constituent
galaxies, magnitudes of the brightest member, sizes of the groups as a
whole, and coefficients of relative compactness.

1- 3 I3 --- Shk [1/377]+ Group number

30- 31 I2 arcsec DEs Declination 1950 (seconds)
33- 34 I2 --- Ngal *? Number of galaxies in group
36- 39 F4.1 mag BrRmag ? Magnitude (red) of brightest galaxy in group
41- 45 F5.2 arcmin Size ? Size of group
47- 49 F3.1 --- Cmpct *? Coefficient of compactness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on Ngal: in the published lists, this number was frequently
stated as a range; these ranges were apparently converted to
their median value.
Note on Cmpct: this coefficient is the ratio of the sum of the diameters of
all the galaxies of the group to the diameter of the group as a whole.
Note that this coefficient is rounded compared to the publications
for objects 306 to 377.

Nomenclature Notes:
Various acronyms are found in the literature to designate the objects
from this catalogue:
Shk (recommended acronym, from first author's name)
SCGG (Shakhbazian, Compact Group of G)
SHCG (Shakhbazian, Cluster of G)
History:
* The catalogue was received at CDS in 1986.
It was checked and corrected against the published catalogue at
Astronomical Data Center (ADC), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center,
Greenbelt.
* Further checks were performed in November 1993 by Marion Schmitz
at IPAC and Heinz Andernach
Acknowledgements:
It is a pleasure to thank Heinz Andernach and Marion Schmitz for
their careful verification of the catalog.
