This paper presents the results of the redshift survey of 138 candidate compact groups from the DPOSS II catalog (Iovino et al., 2003; de Carvalho et al. 2005), which extends the available redshift range of spectroscopically confirmed…

Dynamical analysis of compact groups provides important tests of models of compact group formation and evolution. By compiling 2066 redshifts from FLWO/FAST, from the literature, and from SDSS DR12 in the fields of compact groups in…

In this work we present an algorithm to identify compact groups (CGs) that closely follows Hickson's original aim and that improves the completeness of the samples of compact groups obtained from redshift surveys. Instead of identifying CGs…

We have identified eighty-four small, high density groups of galaxies out to z ~ 0.2 in a region of ~ 2000 square degrees around the north galactic pole using DPOSS (the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey). The groups have at…

For the first time, we construct a catalog of compact groups selected from a complete, magnitude-limited redshift survey. We select groups with $N \geq 3$ members based on projected separation and association in redshift space alone. We…

[Abridged] Over the years, several compact group catalogues have been built using different methods, but most of them are not deep enough to go beyond the very local universe with a high level of redshift completeness. We build…

Redshift Survey Compact Groups (RSCGs) are tight knots of N >= 3 galaxies selected from the CfA2+SSRS2 redshift survey. The selection is based on physical extent and association in redshift space alone. We measured 300 new redshifts of…

We present the largest publicly available catalogue of compact groups of galaxies identified using the original selection criteria of Hickson, selected from the Sixth Data Release (DR6) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We identify…

In this paper we present an objectively defined catalog of 459 small, high density groups of galaxies out to z~0.2 in a region of 6260 square degrees in the northern sky derived from the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. Our…

We have conducted a redshift survey of sixteen cluster candidates from the Palomar Distant Cluster Survey (PDCS) to determine both the density of PDCS clusters and the accuracy of the estimated redshifts presented in the PDCS catalog…

We present a description of the observations and data reduction procedures for an extensive spectroscopic and multi-band photometric study of nine high redshift, optically-selected cluster candidates. The primary goal of the survey is to…

We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) redshift catalogue to look for galaxies with accordant redshifts in the nearby environment (up to ~2 Mpc) of 15 Hickson Compact Groups (HCG) and 7 more HCG+environment from the literature. We find…

We present a photometric catalogue of compact groups of galaxies (p2MCGs) automatically extracted from the 2MASS extended source catalogue. A total of 262 p2MCGs are identified, following the criteria of Hickson (1982), of which 230 survive…

Massive compact systems at 0.2<z<0.6 are the missing link between the predominantly compact population of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift and their analogs and relics in the local volume. The evolution in number density of these…

This paper addresses the long standing question of discordant redshifts in compact groups. We have used an homogenous catalogue of 173 compact groups selected by an automated procedure to objectively predict the fraction of discordant…

We construct a galaxy groups catalogue from the public 100K data release of the 2dF galaxy redshift survey. The group identification is carried out using a slightly modified version of the group finding algorithm developed by Huchra &…

We use the first 25% of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey spectroscopic data to identify groups and clusters of galaxies in redshift space. The data set contains 8370 galaxies with confirmed redshifts in the range 0.7 <= z <= 1.4, over one…

We present an optically selected galaxy cluster catalog from ~ 2,700 square degrees of the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (DPOSS), spanning the redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.5, providing an intermediate redshift supplement to…

A large catalogue of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) from the Dark Energy Survey showed significant clustering around nearby galaxy groups and clusters. Using the HIPASS survey, we tried to determine the redshift of a sub-sample of…

The purpose of this work is to perform a statistical analysis of the location of compact groups in the Universe from observational and semi-analytical points of view. We used the velocity-filtered compact group sample extracted from the Two…
