Abstract
We have recently extracted a catalog of compact groups of galaxies (CGs) from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. This catalog of Las Campanas Compact Groups (LCCGs) contains 76 CGs with a median redshift of z_med = 0.08. The physical properties of these CGs are similar to those from the Hickson (1982) and the Barton et al. (1996) catalogs. Here, we present an atlas of our catalog and briefly describe its general properties.
