Notes. N is the number of galaxy members; rb is the apparent magnitude of the brightest galaxy; ΘG is the radius of the smallest circle that enclosed all galaxy members; ΘI is the isolation radius for the nearest non-member galaxy within Δm; and NCG is the total number of CGs in each sample. Acronyms for previous works: Z+22 (Zandivarez et al. 2022) and ZS+20 (Zheng & Shen 2020). Units: μlim is in mag arcsec−2, while Vlim is in km s−1
