COMPACT GROUPS (CGs)
Selection criteria:• Richness: n≥4 with (m≤m1+3)• Isolation: RN≥3RG
• Compactness: G<26mag∙arcsec-2
SCGs sample:mmember<miso

(Iovino 2002)
Properties:• Low dispersion: <>≈200km/s• High density: 300group108h2Mpc-2
• Lifetime ? cross≈0.016 1/H0

INTERACTIONS IN CGs
• Tidal forces => morphological distorsion and disturbed kinematics• Gas infall => triggering of strong burst of star formation or feeding an AGN• Galaxies merger => new galaxy + TDGs
Compact groups are perfect laboratories to test galaxies’ interactions
Aim: reveal evidence of interaction in SCG 0018-4854 to investigate its evolution history

NGC 92

NGC 92
H K
• Asymmetric gas radial velocity curve: AP=23% => recent
interaction:
• presence of a 8-shape1 along minor axis => Nuclear bar
• SW direction: steep rise of gas velocity• Spectroscopical confirmation of the galactic-scale outflow• Not clear correlation between outflow & surrounding gas

NGC 88

NGC 88
• Low surface brightness tidal tail≈14x10kpc SW direction

Gas => regular pattern of rotation

NGC 87 (major & minor axis)
• Face-on irregular• Star forming regions H• Velocity gradients along M&m axis + peculiar motions

CONCLUSIONS
• We found peculiar kinematics and morphological distortions probably due to
interactions among galaxies
• No double nucleus for NGC 92
• Recent interaction: 0.2Gyr<coll<0.7Gyr
• Spectroscopical confirmation of the galactic-scale outflow of NGC 89
