Description
In 1995 we commenced a detailed spectral and photometric study of
Shakhbazian compact groups. In this paper the results on groups ShCG
181, ShCG 344, ShCG 361, and ShCG 362 are presented. The redshifts of
member galaxies in groups and the radial velocity dispersions, the
results of the surface photometry in BVR, the profiles of the surface
brightness versus semi-major axis a (or a1/4) and the
twisting position angle versus semi-major axis of galaxies, virial
masses, luminosities and mass-to-luminosity ratios, and the crossing
times of groups are given. It is shown that some members of groups are
in the process of interaction. On the basis of the results obtained in
this and previous works, the general properties of thirteen ShCGs are
discussed.
