Mosaic of images given for the 44 close (﹩5< r_{p}\leq 20﹩ h−1 kpc) dynamical (﹩\Delta V< 500﹩ km s−1) pairs or triples satisfying the criterion used for computing pair statistics. These RC‐band images were obtained using the CFHT MOS. Each image is 50 h−1 kpc on a side, corresponding to typical angular sizes of ~20﹩\arcsec﹩. For images which contain more than two objects, note that (1) the image is centered on the pair, (2) the faintest galaxies may fall below the flux limit, and (3) other objects may be stars or foreground/background galaxies.
