For pre-coalescence systems with one pointing per nuclei, the median has been calculated for each pointing; $^d$~nuclear extinction of the galaxy. The uncertainties are about~20\%; $^e$~maximum extinction of the system; $^f$~separation between the optical nucleus, identified as the peak position in the $F814W$ band of the HST images, and the position of the peak of extinction; $^g$~effective radius measured from the HST~WFPC2 camera, with the filter~$F814W$, corresponding to a central wavelength of 0.82~$\mu$m and a filter width of 0.17~$\mu$m; $^h$~effective radius measured from the HST NICMOS2 camera, with the filter~$F160W$, corresponding to a central wavelength of 1.55~$\mu$m and a filter width of 0.40~$\mu$m; $^i$ IP~means interacting pair, DN double nucleus and SN single nucleus; $^j$ effective radius measured from the HST WFPC2 camera, with the filter~$F606W$, corresponding to a central wavelength of 0.58~$\mu$m, and a filter width of 0.16~$\mu$m; $^k$~effective radius measured from the HST~WFPC2 camera, with the filter~$F439W$, corresponding to a central wavelength of 0.43~$\mu$m and a filter width of 0.05~$\mu$m; $^l$~effective radius measured from the HST ACS camera, with the filter~$F435W$, corresponding to a central wavelength of 0.43~$\mu$m and a filter width of 0.14~$\mu$m. \end{table}
