The Bar Pattern Speed of NGC 1433 Estimated Via Sticky-Particle Simulations

Abstract

We present detailed numerical simulations of NGC 1433, an intermediate-type barred spiral showing strong morphological features including a secondary bar, nuclear ring, inner ring, outer pseudoring, and two striking, detached spiral arcs known as ``plumes.'' This galaxy is an ideal candidate for recreating the observed morphology through dynamical models and determining the pattern speed. We derived a gravitational potential from an $H$-band image of the galaxy and simulated the behavior of a two-dimensional disk of 100,000 inelastically colliding gas particles. We find that the closest matching morphology between a $B$-band image and a simulation occurs with a pattern speed of 0.89 km s${}^{-1}$ arcsec${}^{-1}$ $\pm$ 5-10%. We also determine that the ratio of corotation radius to the average published bar radius is 1.7 $\pm$ 0.3, with the ambiguity in the bar radius being the largest contributor to the error.
