Abstract

We review the existing catalogs and major sources of data relevant to the morphology of pairs. Emphasis is on results from the Catalog of Isolated Pairs (CPG) authored by Karachentsev (1972). Sources of bias and uncertainty that are present in pair catalogs are discussed. We consider both: 1) Hubble component morphology and 2) pair interaction morphology. The results on the Holmberg effect and morphological concordance in pairs, as well as evidence for interaction-induced enhancements, are discussed.
