The environment where galaxies reside affects their evolutionary histories. Galaxy triplets (systems composed of three physically bound galaxies) constitute one of simplest group of galaxies and are therefore excellent laboratories to study…
The construction of catalogues of galaxies and the a posteriori study of galaxy properties in relation to their environment have been hampered by scarce redshift information. The new 3-dimensional (3D) surveys permit small, faint,…
We analyse the spatial configuration and the dynamical properties of a sample of 92 galaxy triplets obtained from the SDSS-DR7 (SDSS-triplets) restricted to have members with spectroscopic redshifts in the range $0.01\le z \le 0.14 $ and…
We analyse a sample of 71 triplets of luminous galaxies derived from the work of O'Mill et al. (2012). We compare the properties of triplets and their members with those of control samples of compact groups, the ten brightest members of…
The main goal of this work is to investigate the influence of environment at different scales on the properties of galaxies in systems with a low number of members. To this end we used a catalogue of small galaxy systems comprising compact…
Compact Groups (CGs) of galaxies are dense systems where projected separations are comparable to their optical diameters. A subset - non-isolated CGs - are embedded within major structures. Using multi-band S-PLUS data, we analyse galaxies…
We present a study of the dynamics of triplets of galaxies. In particular we focus on properties that are directly comparable with observations: e.g., velocity dispersion, mean harmonic radius, and virial mass. We find, for example, that…
Galaxy triplets are interesting laboratories where we can study the formation and the evolution of small and large systems of galaxies. This study aims to investigate signs of interaction between the members of nine isolated galaxy triplet…
We construct a sample of 75,863 star forming galaxies with robust metallicity and star formation rate measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), from which we select a clean sample of compact group (CG)…
We aim at defining homogeneous selection criteria of small galaxy systems in order to build catalogues suitable to compare main properties of pairs, triplets, and groups with four or more members. To this end we use spectroscopic and…
We report the discovery of an isolated compact galaxy triplet SDSS J084843.45+164417.3, which is first detected by the LAMOST spectral survey and then confirmed by the spectroscopic observation of the BFOSC of the 2.16 meter telescope. It…
Configuration properties of observed galaxy triplets are studied with the use of the method of configuration parameters and Agekian-Anosova configuration diagram. Statistically significant excess of the hierarchical configurations for the…
We considered kinematic and virial parameters of a sample of galaxy triplets from the Local Supercluster (LS). The galaxies were selected from the LEDA database, and their radial velocities are no more than 3100 km/s. The sample contains…
We aim to identify and quantify the effects of the satellite distribution around a sample of galaxies in the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG), as well as the effects of the Large Scale Structure (LSS) using the SDSS-DR9. To recover the…
By means of N-body simulations we study the global dynamics of triplets of galaxies, considering initial conditions starting from `maximum expansion' and in virial equilibrium. Unlike previous studies we treat galaxies self-consistently. We…
In this work, we establish fundamental relations, for the first time, in isolated systems in the local universe (with 0.005$\leq$z$\leq$0.080), which can give insight into the underlying physics of star-formation. We use a sample of…
We present a new catalogue of galaxy triplets derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The identification of systems was performed considering galaxies brighter than M_r=-20.5 and imposing constraints over the projected…
We identify isolated galaxy triplets in a volume-limited sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10. Our final sample has 80 galaxy systems in the redshift range 0.04$\le$z$\le$0.1, brighter than $M_r = -20.5 + 5\log h_{70}$.…
The merging system SIT 45 (UGC 12589) is an unusual isolated galaxy triplet, consisting of three merging late-type galaxies, out of 315 systems in the SIT (SDSS-based catalogue of Isolated Triplets). The main aims of this work are to study…
Components of large-scale structure (LSS) of Universe includes galaxy clusters, walls, filaments, groups and field galaxies. The question of spatial organization of all these components remains open despite of a number of recently developed…
