Abstract
It is shown that the dynamical paradox of the HCG 90, which is treated as an old, and at the same time, as a young system (White et al), may be solved assuming that it is a rotating system in which multiple collisions have occurred during Hubble time. In the frames of the same scenario a multiple collisions in SQ (HCG 92) are naturally explained. (Β© 2003 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract The study of (dwarf) galaxies in nearby groups is one among the most powerful tools that can be used to investigate galaxy evolution, chemical enrichment and environmental effects on these objects. The Centaurus A group (at a distance of βΌ4 Mpc) is dynamically evolved and contains about
