Abstract
AbstractWe have analyzed the level and type of nuclear activity in 720 galaxies belonging to a large complete sample of Compact Groups (UZC-CGs). We have found that most (67%) galaxies show emission lines and that the most frequent (43%) nuclear activity is AGN. AGNs are mainly hosted in bright early type galaxies and early spirals, at variance with HII which reside in late spirals of lower luminosity. CGs which have a dominant content of AGNs and TOs have larger σv and lower Rp than CGs dominated by HII.
