Descripción
We continue the presentation of the results of detailed spectroscopic
and photometric study of Shakhbazian compact galaxy groups. They 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 a
detailed study of five groups, ShCG4E, ShCG4W, ShCG88, ShCG51, and
ShCG48. We present the redshifts of individual galaxies in groups, the
results of the surface photometry in R, the contour plots of the surface
brightness, and some physical parameters of groups, such as the radial
velocity dispersions, the crossing times, and the mass-to-luminosity
ratios of groups. The general properties of 18 ShCGs obtained in this
and previous works are discussed.
