Title: A photometric catalog of compact groups of galaxies

Abstract

The paper presents astrometry, photometry, and morphological types, derived from CCD images, for 463 galaxies in the 100 compact groups selected by Hickson. Some minor revisions to the membership of the original catalog are made, based on these new images. The completeness of the catalog is considered as a function of group magnitude and Galactic latitude. At high Galactic latitude the catalog is estimated to be 90 percent complete for groups with total B(T) magnitude 13.0 or less. It is less complete at lower Galactic latitude because of obscuration and high stellar density. 28 refs.
