Bg. Elmegreen et al., H-I OBSERVATIONS OF THE SPIRAL ARM PATTERN SPEED IN THE LATE-TYPE BARRED GALAXY NGC-925, The Astrophysical journal, 494(1), 1998, pp. 37-39
H I observations with the VLA of the late-type barred galaxy NGC 925 s
how clear streaming motions along four spiral arms close to the minor
axis. A transition from inward streaming to outward streaming is found
, presumably marking the corotation resonance. The realm of inward str
eaming extends to very large radii, corresponding to 1.2R(25) and 3 ba
r radii deprojected. This implies that most of the visible disk is ins
ide corotation, although the H I disk extends beyond, at least to simi
lar to 2R(25). As a result, either the bar and the spirals are rotatin
g separately or the bar rotates very slowly compared with early-type b
ars. There is apparently no inner Lindblad resonance because of the sl
owly rising inner rotation curve, and there may be no outer Lindblad r
esonance if the disk ends first.
