We measured the bar pattern speed in a sample of 7 SB0 galaxies using the Tremaine-Weinberg method. This represents the largest sample of galaxies for which bar pattern speed has been measured this way. All the observed bars are as rapidly…
We investigate the effect of dust on the observed rotation rate of a stellar bar as measured by application of the Tremaine & Weinberg (TW) method. As the method requires that the tracer satisfies the continuity equation, it has been…
Theories that attempt to explain the dynamical relationship between bar and spiral patterns in galactic disks make different predictions about the radial profile of the pattern speed. These are tested for the H-alpha bar and spiral patterns…
In spiral galaxies where the molecular phase dominates the ISM, the molecular gas as traced by CO emission will approximately obey the continuity equation on orbital timescales. The Tremaine-Weinberg method can then be used to determine the…

We present dynamical simulations of NGC 2523 and NGC 4245, two barred galaxies (types SB(r)b and SB(r)0/a, respectively) with prominent inner rings. Our goal is to estimate the bar pattern speeds in these galaxies by matching a…
We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a…
In this paper we analyse the methodology to derive the bar pattern speed from dynamical simulations. The results are robust to the changes in the vertical-scale height and in the mass-to-light (M/L) ratios. There is a small range of…
I show that Tremaine-Weinberg (TW) measurements of bar pattern speeds are sensitive to errors in the position angle of the disc, PA_disc. I use an $N$-body experiment to measure these errors; for typical random PA_disc errors, the resulting…
A significant fraction of barred spiral galaxies exhibits peanut/X-shaped structures in their central regions. Bars are known to rotate with a single pattern speed, and they eventually slow down over time due to the dynamical friction with…
We use the Tremaine-Weinberg method, adapted to the Milky Way, to measure a pattern speed in OH/IR stars located in the inner MW.
The pattern speed in one of the fundamental parameters that determines the structure of barred galaxies. This quantity is usually derived from indirect methods or by employing model assumptions. The number of bar pattern speeds derived…
We present a simulation scheme for discrete-velocity gases based on {\em local thermodynamic equilibrium}. Exploiting the kinetic nature of discrete-velocity gases, in that context, results in a natural splitting of fluxes, and the…
In this paper, we first construct a model for free surface flows that takes into account the air entrainment by a system of four partial differential equations. We derive it by taking averaged values of gas and fluid velocities on the cross…
