cds-question@unistra.frvisible-astronomysloan-photometrygalaxiesCompact groups of galaxies provide conditions similar to those experienced by galaxies in the earlier universe. Recent work on compact groups has led to the discovery of a dearth of mid-infrared transition galaxies (MIRTGs) in Infrared Array Camera (3.6-8.0{mu}m) color space as well as at intermediate specific star formation rates. However, we find that in compact groups these MIRTGs have already transitioned to the optical ([g-r]) red sequence. We investigate the optical color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of 99 compact groups containing 348 galaxies and compare the optical CMD with mid-infrared (mid-IR) color space for compact group galaxies. Utilizing redshifts available from Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we identified new galaxy members for four groups. By combining optical and mid-IR data, we obtain information on both the dust and the stellar populations in compact group galaxies. We also compare with more isolated galaxies and galaxies in the Coma Cluster, which reveals that, similar to clusters, compact groups are dominated by optically red galaxies. While we find that compact group transition galaxies lie on the optical red sequence, LVL+SINGS mid-IR transition galaxies span the range of optical colors. The dearth of mid-IR transition galaxies in compact groups may be due to a lack of moderately star-forming low mass galaxies; the relative lack of these galaxies could be due to their relatively small gravitational potential wells. This makes them more susceptible to this dynamic environment, thus causing them to more easily lose gas or be accreted by larger members.2013ApJ...775..129Whttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/775/129CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/294 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 7 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2009)II/282 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 6 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2007)VII/213 : Hickson's Compact groups of Galaxies (Hickson+ 1982-1994)J/ApJS/212/9 : X-ray sources in Hickson Compact Groups (Tzanavaris+, 2014)J/A+A/565/A25 : Hickson compact groups Herschel observations (Bitsakis+, 2014)J/A+A/540/A106 : SDSS-DR8 groups and clusters of galaxies (Tempel+, 2012)J/A+A/533/A142 : UV-to-IR fluxes of Hickson compact groups (Bitsakis+, 2011)J/MNRAS/418/1409 : Compact groups of galaxies in SDSS DR7 (Mendel+, 2011)J/MNRAS/404/1745 : Dwarf galaxies in Coma supercluster (Mahajan+, 2010)J/A+A/514/A102 : SDSS DR7 groups of galaxies (Tago+, 2010)J/ApJ/703/517 : The Spitzer Local Volume Legacy: IR photometry (Dale+, 2009)J/ApJS/173/293 : UV-Optical galaxy color-magnitude diagram I.
