The Tremaine-Weinberg Method for Pattern Speeds Using Hα Emission from Ionized Gas
The Fabry-Perot interferometer FaNTOmM was used at the 3.6-m CFHT and the 1.6-m Mont Mégantic Telescope to obtain data cubes in Hα of 9 nearby spiral galaxies from which maps in integrated intensity, velocity, and velocity dispersion were derived. We then applied the Tremaine-Weinberg method, in which the pattern speed can be deduced from its
