Description
Radial velocities have been observed for 457 galaxies in the 100 Hickson compact groups (Hickson =1982ApJ...255..382H; catalog <VII/85>). Brighter galaxies were observed over the period 1984-1986, using the 1.5m telescope of the F.L. Whipple Observatory on Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, in wavelength range 470-710nm; the remaining fainter galaxies were observed with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). These velocities are listed in table2. Dynamical parameters were derived for 92 of the 100 groups, which are listed in table3; Hubble constant was assumed to be Ho=100km/s/Mpc.
