SUMMARY:Open questions on bar pattern speed with the Tremaine-Weinberg meth
 od
DESCRIPTION:Open questions on bar pattern speed with the Tremaine-Weinberg 
 method\nDr. Virginia Cuomo\n\nBars are prominent features observed in most
  disc galaxies, having a crucial\nrole in the secular evolution of their h
 osts. Indeed, they redistribute material within the galaxies, while rotati
 ng around the centre at a given angular frequency, the bar pattern speed. 
 When formed in an isolated galaxy, a bar is expected to be born as fast ro
 tating with a bar rotation rate R (a parameter used to describe the bar pa
 ttern speed) equal to 1.0 &le; R &le; 1.4. During its evolution, the bar c
 an be slowed through the exchange of angular momentum with the other compo
 nents and/or when an efficient dynamical friction is exerted by the dark m
 atter (DM) halo. In this case, R is shifted in the slow regime (R &gt; 1.4
 ), while the bar radius and strength are increasing. On the other hand, ul
 trafast (UF) bars, with R &lt; 1.0, are physically unstable. Measuring the
  bar rotation rate becomes desirable both to investigate the secular evolu
 tion of barred galaxies and to test whether the measured DM distribution m
 atches that predicted by cosmological simulations in the cold DM framework
 . The only model-independent way to recover the bar pattern speed (and der
 ive R) is the Tremaine-Weinberg (TW) method, nowadays largely applied than
 ks to the advent of integral-field spectroscopy: most of the analysed bars
  are compatible with the fast regime, while a non-negligible fraction belo
 ngs to the unstable UF regime. As a consequence, the question arises wheth
 er these results are biased by an improper application of the method or in
 stead they come from a not completely theoretically understanding of the n
 ature of slow/UF bars.We explore the open questions on bar pattern speed w
 ith the TW method by1. testing the reliability of the TW measurements whic
 h led to UF bars2. pushing further the quest of slow bars applying the TW 
 method to a sample of dwarf galaxies, the best candidates to host slowly-r
 otating bars, since they arecommonly thought to host a massive and central
 ly-concentrated DM halo.We measure the bar radius from the analysis of the
  maps tracing the transverse-to-radial force ratio, showing that UF bars a
 re no longer observed when the correct measurement of the bar radius is ad
 opted to derive R. We apply the TW method to dedicated MUSE observations o
 f a sample of 5 dwarf barred\ngalaxies from the Virgo cluster, showing tha
 t the analysed bars are slowly-rotating. This suggests they could have bee
 n slowed down by a dense and massive DM halo.\n---------------------------
