@article{Valluri1996HalphaIO, title={H(alpha) Imaging of the Hickson Compact Group 62}, author={Monica Valluri and G. C. Anupama}, journal={The Astronomical Journal}, year={1996}, volume={112}, pages={1390-1396} }
We report results of a search for optical emission line gas in the Hickson compact group 62. From narrow band (H-alpha) imaging observations we estimate 10^4 Msun of ionized hydrogen gas within the central regions of three of the galaxies in the group. There has been considerable interest in this group since ROSAT detected an extended halo of diffuse X-ray emission, possibly with a cooling flow at the center. The optical emission line luminosities from the three galaxies are comparable to each…
