Scientific paper

Complete and statistical samples of galaxies in well defined neighborhoods surrounding the 100 Hickson (1983) compact groups have been identified and structural properties estimated by visual inspection of Palomar Sky Survey prints. Among these 100 neighborhoods, two-thirds are statistically indistinguishable from superposed field galaxies, but one-third contain galaxies in the physical neighborhood of the compact group. The morphological types of the galaxies in these physical neighborhoods are statistically later than the galaxy types in the compact groups.
