摘要
We evaluated the availability of a method proposed by Kuno et al. (2000, PASJ, 52, 775) for measuring the pattern speed of barred galaxies, and applied it to observational data. We made error estimations using a hydrodynamical galaxy model to test the validity of the method. Error estimations suggest that the method is able to determine the pattern speed within an error of 10%-20%. The method was applied to (CO)-C-12 (1-0) data of three late-type barred galaxies: NGC 2903, M 83, and NGC 3627. The derived pattern speed was 40 km s(-1) kpc(-1) for NGC 2903, 57 km s(-1) kpc(-1) for M 83, 39 km s(-1) kpc(-1) for NGC 3627, respectively. For the sake of a comparison with measurements in other galaxies, we used the distance-independent value R (equivalent to R-CR/R-bar), and found that bars in the three late-type spirals are "slow" (R > 1.4). Our results support recent claims that bars are not always "fast" (R <= 1.4), at least for late-type spiral galaxies.
