Description
We measured the bar pattern speed in a sample of 7 SB0 galaxies using
the Tremaine-Weinberg method. This represents the largest sample of
galaxies for which the bar pattern speed has been measured this way. All
the observed bars are as rapidly rotating as they can be. We compared
this result with recent high-resolution N-body simulations of bars in
cosmologically-motivated dark matter halos, and conclude that these bars
are not located inside centrally concentrated halos.
