Shakbazian Compact Groups of Galaxies
This catalog is a compilation of ten lists of compact groups of compact galaxies found on the Palomar Sky Survey red charts and published in the period 1973 to 1979 by Shakhbazian, Petrosian, and collaborators. 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. The HEASARC has a related database table, SHKGALAXY, which contains data on the individual galaxies in the Shakhbazian Compact Groups. This database table was created by the HEASARC in December, 1999, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/89B">CDS catalog VII/89B</a>.

Shakhabazian (Shk) Compact Groups of Galaxies: Individual Galaxies Data
The largest survey of compact galaxy groups was published by Shakhbazian et al. (the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/89">CDS catalog VII/89</a>, implemented by the HEASARC as the SHK database table). This present catalog provides accurate positions of the individual galaxies in the groups; photometric properties of the Southern sky (delta not greater than +2.5 degrees) are evaluated on the basis of the COSMOS/UKST catalog of the Southern sky. This catalog contains 373 groups; this number differs from the number in Shakhbazian's list (377 groups) by the following: (i) there are no data for groups 001 (already published by other authors), 206 and 241 (could not be re-identified), 252 (this is identical with 214), 301 and 353 (could not be re-identified); (ii) Group 328 was published twice (in North and South); and (iii) Group 340 was divided in two parts (340 and 340a), according to Bettoni and Fasano ([BF95]=1995AJ....109...32B). This HEASARC version of the catalog contains a total of 3435 individual galaxies identified as members of the compact groups, 2574 from the northern part of this survey (taken from the ADS Catalog VII/196 file north.dat), and 861 from the southern part of this survey (extracted from the 10746 entries in the ADS Catalog VII/196 file south.dat by including only entries corresponding to bona fide group members). This database table was created by the HEASARC in June, 2000, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/196">CDS Catalog VII/196</a> (files north.dat and south.dat).

Hickson Compact Groups of Galaxies (HCG) Catalog
The HCG database table is based on the Hickson Catalog, which is a list of 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Dynamical parameters which were derived for 92 of the 100 groups are also included in the database. (Note that the Hubble constant was assumed to be Ho = 100 km/s/Mpc.) This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 1 of Hickson, P. (1982, ApJ, 255, 382) and Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353). Consequently, the information on individual galaxies in the Hickson groups that is also given in these references, e.g., in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCG database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCGGALAXY. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213:">CDS catalog VII/213:</a> files groups.dat and dynamics.dat). The HEASARC refined the coordinates, corrected the dynamics_flag values, and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
X-Ray Observations of Compact Group Galaxies
This catalog presents the study of a sample of 15 compact groups (CGs) observed with Chandra/ACIS, Swift/UVOT and Spitzer/IRAC-MIPS for which archival data exist, allowing the authors to obtain SFRs, stellar masses, sSFRs and X-ray fluxes and luminosities for individual, off-nuclear point sources, which they summed to obtain total X-ray luminosities originating in off-nuclear point sources in a galaxy. Details on the Swift and Spitzer observations and data for systems in this sample can be found in Tzanavaris et al. (2010ApJ...716..556T) and Lenkic et al. (2016MNRAS.459.2948L). For Chandra/ACIS observations, see Tzanavaris et al. (2014ApJS..212....9T) and Desjardins et al. (2013ApJ...763..121D; 2014ApJ...790..132D). The authors obtained total galaxy X-ray luminosities, L<sub>X</sub>, originating from individually detected point sources in a sample of 47 galaxies in 15 compact groups of galaxies (CGs). For the great majority of the galaxies, they found that the detected point sources most likely are local to their associated galaxy, and are thus extragalactic X-ray binaries (XRBs) or nuclear active galactic nuclei (AGNs). For spiral and irregular galaxies, they found that, after accounting for AGNs and nuclear sources, most CG galaxies are either within the +/- 1 sigma scatter of the Mineo et al. L<sub>X</sub>-star formation rate (SFR) correlation or have higher L<sub>X</sub> than predicted by this correlation for their SFR. These "excesses" may be due to low metallicities and high interaction levels. For elliptical and S0 galaxies, after accounting for AGNs and nuclear sources, most CG galaxies were found to be consistent with the Boroson et al. L<sub>X</sub>-stellar mass correlation for low-mass XRBs, with larger scatter, likely due to residual effects such as AGN activity or hot gas. Assuming non-nuclear sources are low- or high-mass XRBs, the authors used appropriate XRB luminosity functions to estimate the probability that stochastic effects can lead to such extreme L<sub>X</sub> values. They found that, although stochastic effects do not in general appear to be important, for some galaxies there is a significant probability that high L<sub>X</sub> values can be observed due to strong XRB variability. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2019 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/817/95">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/817/95</a> file table3.dat This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Hickson Compact Groups of Galaxies (HCG) Individual Galaxies Data
The HCGGALAXY database table is based on the Hickson Catalog of Compact Groups, and contains data on 463 galaxies in 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Astrometry, photometry, and morphological types, derived from CCD images, are presented for the 463 galaxies. Radial velocities are given for 457 of the 463 galaxies: more than 84% of the galaxies measured have radial velocities that are within 1000 km/s of the group median velocity. Morphological information derived from either an isophotal analysis or from a visual inspection of images is given for 210 of the 463 galaxies. This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1989, ApJS, 70, 687), Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), and Table 2 of Mendes de Oliveira, C. and Hickson, P. (1994, ApJ, 427, 684). Consequently, the information on the properties of the Hickson Compact Groups as units that is also given in some of these references, e.g., in Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCGGALXY database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCG. This database table was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213">CDS catalog VII/213</a>, files galaxies.dat and morpho.dat). The HEASARC added Galactic coordinates and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
