Descripción
We have used photometric images of ten barred galaxies in the B and I
bands to infer the geometrical and dynamical parameters of their bars:
Their length, (R_bar), their strengths, (S_b), and their corotation
radii, (R_CR). These parameters have been obtained studying azimuthal
profiles from the B and I band images of the galaxies. We find that R_CR
is in all cases slightly larger than R_bar, with mean values close to
1.2 R_bar. We have also found a dependence of the ratio R_CR/R_bar on
S_bar.
