Descripción
During 1996 and 1997, the Canary Island Observatories' `International Time' project on Barred Galaxies obtained photometric images in broad- and narrow-band, and intermediate to high spectral resolution spectra in the optical and near IR of a selected set of a dozen barred galaxies. For some of these, 2D H_α kinematics was also obtained. The project team has been working on the analysis of these data in the intervening time, but one of the more useful aspects of the project has been to provide a database on barred galaxies more complete than most in terms of the observational material on each object. Those who may wish to use this database should contact the BARS project (instructions are given below).
