- Lyons Groups of Galaxies
Lyons Groups of Galaxies (or LGG) — catalog of nearby groups of galaxies that was created from the sample of galaxies complete up to the limiting apparent magnitude Bo=14.0 with a recession velocity smaller than 5500km/s.Two methods were used in group construction: a percolation method derived from Huchra and Geller ( [http://simbad3.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/cdsbib?1982ApJ...257..423H 1982ApJ...257..423H] ) and a hierarchical method initiated by Tully ( [http://simbad3.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/cdsbib?1980ApJ...237..390T 1980ApJ...237..390T] ). The catalog is a synthesized version of the two results.
The LGG includes 485 groups and 3933 member galaxies.
