Based on the ASCA observations, the X-ray features like spatial extentions and spectral properties of their component were analyzed for nearby four compact groups of galaxies; HCG62, NGC2300 group, HCG42 and HCG48. We found wide variety in their X-ray features. One of the brightest source of HCG62 shows the presence of cool component and enhanced abundance at its center, while HCG42 shows less extention and low abundance ratio of α-element to iron. For NGC 2300 group, we also found interesting feature which may be related to galaxy-intragroup medium interaction.
