Abstract

The study of the stellar populations of the elliptical galaxies in compact groups could give us important information on the merging history of the elliptical galaxies in the groups and could elucidate some of the questions regarding group evolution. We have initiated a program to study the stellar populations of the elliptical galaxies in compact groups. In the following, we describe our results for a sample of 12 galaxies. The kinematical properties of the same sample were previously studied by Mendes de Oliveira et al. (1993).
