Pattern speed measurements in two barred galaxies

Abstract:

Knowledge of the pattern speed in a barred galaxy is an important prerequisite for determining the radii of its dynamical resonances. Once identified, these can in turn be used to constrain models for nuclear fueling and secular evolution. Here, we present measurements of the pattern speeds in two barred galaxies-one direct (in NGC 1068, using the Tremaine-Weinberg method in the near infrared) and one indirect (in NGC 7479, using a fit to three-dimensional molecular emission-line data). We find good evidence that a configuration of dynamically decoupled "bars within bars" is present in each system.
