Scientific paper

Determination of the luminosity function of galaxies in compact groups is presented. It is different from the luminosity functions of galaxies in rich clusters, normal small groups, and the field in a way such that the number of galaxies per unit magnitude decreases with decreasing brightness at the faint end. The deficiency of low-luminosity galaxies in the compact groups cannot be ascribed easily to statistical fluctuations, selection effects, or other systematic biases; possible explanations for the anomaly are discussed.
