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.
