O ct 2 00 3 Direct Confirmation of Two Pattern Speeds in the Double Barred Galaxy NGC 2950
نویسنده
چکیده
We present surface photometry and stellar kinematics of NGC 2950, which is a nearby and undisturbed SB0 galaxy hosting two nested stellar bars. We use the Tremaine-Weinberg method to measure the pattern speed of the primary bar. This also permits us to establish directly and for the first time that the two nested bars are rotating with different pattern speeds, and in particular that the rotation frequency of the secondary bar is higher than that of the primary one. Subject headings: galaxies: individual (NGC 2950) — galaxies: kinematics and dynamics — galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD — galaxies: photometry — galaxies: structure

When integrals in the standard Tremaine-Weinberg method are evaluated for the case of a realistic model of a doubly barred galaxy, their modifications introduced by the second rotating pattern are in accord with what can be derived from a simple extension of that method, based on separation of tracer's density. This extension yields a qualitative argument that discriminates between prograde and...

We apply the Tremaine-Weinberg method of pattern speed determination to data cubes of CO emission in six spiral galaxies from the BIMA SONG survey each with an ISM dominated by molecular gas. We compare derived pattern speeds with estimates based on other methods, usually involving the identification of a predicted behavior at one or more resonances of the pattern(s). In two cases (NGC 1068 and...
متن کاملObservable Properties of Double-barred Galaxies in N-body Simulations
Although at least one quarter of early-type barred galaxies host secondary stellar bars embedded in their large-scale primary counterparts, the dynamics of such double barred galaxies are still not well understood. Recently we reported success at simulating such systems in a repeatable way in collisionless systems. In order to further our understanding of double-barred galaxies, here we charact...

We report on the molecular gas properties in the central kiloparsec of the almost face-on double barred galaxy NGC 4303 (M 61), using the CO 1−0 line emission observed with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter interferometer. The bulk of the molecular line emission comes from two straight gas lanes which run north-south along the leading sides of the large-scale primary bar. Vel...
