Estimating the bar pattern speed (Ωbar) is one of the main challenges faced in understanding the role of stellar bars in galaxy dynamical evolution. This work aims to characterise different uncertainty sources affecting the Tremaine Weinberg (TW)-method to study the correlation between bar and galaxies physical parameters. We use a sample of 15 MaNGA SDSS-IV galaxies and 3 CALIFA galaxies from Aguerri et al. (2015). We studied the errors related with (i) galaxy centre determination, (ii) disc…

Applying the Tremaine–Weinberg Method to Nearby Galaxies: Stellar-mass-based Pattern Speeds and Comparisons with ISM Kinematics

We apply the Tremaine–Weinberg method to 19 nearby galaxies using stellar mass surface densities and velocities derived from the PHANGS-MUSE survey, to calculate (primarily bar) pattern speeds (ΩP).…

Properties of Fast and Slow Bars Classified by Epicyclic Frequency Curves from Photometry of Barred Galaxies

We test the idea that bar pattern speeds decrease with time owing to angular momentum exchange with a dark matter halo. If this process actually occurs, then the radii of the corotation resonance and…

Fast galaxy bars continue to challenge standard cosmology

Many observed disc galaxies harbour a central bar. In the standard cosmological paradigm, galactic bars should be slowed down by dynamical friction from the dark matter halo. This friction depends…

Photometric Signature of Ultraharmonic Resonances in Barred Galaxies

Bars may induce morphological features, such as rings, through their resonances. Previous studies suggested that the presence of “dark gaps,” or regions of a galaxy where the difference between the…

Chemodynamics of barred galaxies in cosmological simulations: On the Milky Way’s quiescent merger history and in-situ bulge

We explore the chemodynamical properties of a sample of barred galaxies in the Auriga magnetohydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulations, which form boxy/peanut (b/p) bulges, and compare these…

How the bar properties affect the induced spiral structure

Stellar bars and spiral arms co-exist and co-evolve in most disc galaxies in the local Universe. However, the physical nature of this interaction remains a matter of debate. In this work, we present…

Fast-spinning bars in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmological paradigm.

The angular velocity with which galactic bars rotate is intimately linked to the amount of dark matter in the inner regions of their host galaxies. In particular, dark matter haloes act to slow down…

Barred spiral galaxies in modified gravity theories

When bars form within galaxy formation simulations in the standard cosmological context, dynamical friction with dark matter (DM) causes them to rotate rather slowly. However, almost all observed…

Does Modified Gravity Predict Fast Stellar Bars in Spiral Galaxies?

The evolution of disk galaxies in modified gravity is studied by using high-resolution N-body simulations. More specifically, we use the weak field limit of two modified gravity theories, that is,…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: stellar population gradients within barred galaxies

Bars in galaxies are thought to stimulate both inflow of material and radial mixing along them. Observational evidence for this mixing has been inconclusive so far however, limiting the evaluation of…

Testing the Tremaine–Weinberg Method Applied to Integral-field Spectroscopic Data Using a Simulated Barred Galaxy

Tremaine and Weinberg (TW) proposed a conceptually simple procedure relying on long-slit spectroscopy to measure the pattern speeds of bars (Ωp) in disk galaxies. Using a simulated galaxy, we…
