Evolution of Compact Groups of Galaxies I . Merging rates
We discuss the merging rates in compact groups of 5 identical elliptical galaxies. All groups have the same mass and binding energy. We consider both cases with individual halos and cases where the halo is common to all galaxies and enveloping the whole group. In the latter situation the merging rate is slower if the halo is more massive. The mass of individual halos has little influence on the...
متن کاملCompact Groups of Galaxies
Compact groups of galaxies have posed a number of challenging questions. Intensive observational and theoretical studies are now providing answers to many of these, and at the same time, are revealing unexpected new clues about the nature and role of these systems. Most compact groups contain a high fraction of galaxies having morphological or kinematical peculiarities, nuclear radio and infrar...
متن کاملCatalogue of Galaxies in Hickson Compact Groups . I . The Sample
We present Hα photometry for a sample of 95 galaxies in Hickson Compact Groups obtained from observations of 31 groups. The Catalogue lists isophotal and adaptive aperture (Kron aperture) flux measurements for about 75% of the accordant galaxies inside the observed HCGs, 22 out of which are upper limits. Non standard data reduction procedures have been used to obtain the continuum subtracted Hα...
متن کاملOptical and radio survey of Southern Compact Groups of galaxies. I. Pilot study of six groups
Context. Multi-wavelength observations of Hickson’s Compact Groups (HCGs) have shown that many of these groups are physical bound structures and are in different stage of evolution, from spiral-dominated systems to almost merged objects. Very few studies have analysed the Southern Compact Groups (SCGs) sample, which is though to be younger that HCGs, due to an on average higher number of spiral...
متن کاملRosat Observations of Compact Groups of Galaxies
The detection of X-ray emission from Hickson's compact groups of galaxies (HCGs) and its origin are the subject of this work. A search for X-ray emission from compact groups revealed detection from 8 out of the 12 HCG images extracted from the ROSAT public archive. For two of them (HCG16 and HCG44), the Xray emission originates from point-like sources spatially coincident with galaxies in the g...
