New views on bar pattern speeds from the NUGA survey

Astrophysics 2008-11-13 v1

Abstract

We present a review on bar pattern speeds from preliminary results in the context of the Nuclei of Galaxies (NUGA) project. The large variety of molecular circumnuclear morphologies found in NUGA is a challenging result that implies the refinement of current dynamical models of galaxies.
