Abstract: | It is shown that the brightest members of elongated, compact groups of compact galaxies (CGCGs) are located not in the central part of a group but at its edge. This suggests that compact groups of compact galaxies (n>8) have a cometary shape, with their opening angle being less than 60°, for the most part.Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 39, No. 4, pp. 585–592, October–December, 1996. |
