Details on Acronym:   LCLG
  
LCLG   (Las Campanas Loose Group)
 Write:<<LCLG  -DD NNN>>
 N:  1495
Object:Group of G  (SIMBAD class: GroupG = Group of Galaxies)
  Note:In the format, -DD denotes the central declination of the slice,    and NNN is a running number, sorted by RA within a slice.
    By means of an adaptive 'friends-of-friends' percolation    algorithm, a catalogue of loose groups has been produced for each    of the slices from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey LCRS.
    Each group consitutes a density enhancement of 80    times the mean background number density of galaxies.
    See also LCDCS, LCCG, LARCS, LCRS.
