Using a spectrum obtained under moderate (of order 1 arcsecond) seeing, we show that the double nucleus in M31 produces a strong kinematic signature even though the individual comp…

The pattern speed of the bar in NGC 936
Michael R. Merrifield, Konrad Kuijken
We have used the Tremaine-Weinberg method to measure the angular speed of rotation for the bar in the SB0 galaxy NGC 936. With this technique, the bar's pattern speed, Omega_p, can…
