Abstract
We detect 353 radio sources from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) and the FIR ST Survey within the areas of 179 Shakhbazian compact groups (ShCGs) of gal axies. Ninety-three of them are identified with galaxies in 74 ShCGs. Six r adio sources have complex structure. The radio spectra of 22 sources are de termined. Radio luminosities of galaxies in ShCGs are in general higher tha n those of galaxies in Hickson compact groups (HCGs). A comparison of radio (at 1.4 GHz) and FIR (at 60 mu m) fluxes of ShCG galaxies with those of HC G galaxies shows that galaxies in ShCGs are relatively stronger emitters at radio wavelengths, while galaxies in HCGs have relatively stronger FIR emi ssion. The reasons for such differences are discussed.
