Description
We present the results of a detailed spectroscopic and photometric study
of four Shakhbazian compact groups: ShCG 8, ShCG 14, ShCG 19, and ShCG
22. We determined the redshifts of member galaxies and radial velocity
dispersions of groups. We also studied the distribution of the surface
brightness of member galaxies in R and determined their morphological
types. The profiles of the surface brightness versus semi-major axis,
the curves of isophotal twisting, and Fourier parameter a4
are constructed. We found that some members of groups are in the process
of interaction. We determined physical parameters of groups: virial
masses, luminosities, mass-to-luminosity ratios, and the crossing times.
On the basis of the results obtained in this and our previous works, the
general properties of 22 ShCGs are discussed.
