HCG (Hickson, Compact Group)= (Hick)
Write:<<HCG NNNa>>

N: 611
Object:G in Group  (SIMBAD class: GtowardsGroup = Galaxy towards a Group of Galaxies)
Stat:is completely incorporated in Simbad
Note:1993ApL....29....1H: atlas of each compact group.
Other galaxies are added to some groups in the literature.
The format for galaxies in HCG group is NNNa, but a format NNNaN has been added if the galaxy 'a' in the group 'NNN' have a double nucleus 'a1' and 'a2', or knots.
See also [PAM2003] and [PFH2004] for objects 'HCG NNNx' (not galaxies in the group).
