For the members of the compact group of galaxies Shahbazian 4 the radial velocities are defined. The velocity dispersion is 440 km s−1. Moreover the appparent and absolute magnitudes of galaxies in the V band as well as the mass-to-luminosity ratio are obtained. The latter is approximately 220 M⊙/L⊙. The “crossing time” for the group Shahbazian 4 is equal to 4.7 × 107 years. It is one of the densest group of galaxies with n ~ 104 galaxies Mpc−3.
