Description
Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical modelling of
galaxy kinematics allow us to use more than just optical morphology to
discern the structure and dynamics of galaxies. Here, we show for three
barred galaxies (UGC 10205, NGC 6221 and NGC4340) that both kinematics
and photometry are necessary to fully understand the properties of these
galaxies. Kinematic and spectrophotometric data enable us to detect
structures such as bars and gas shocks that are not directly visible in
the images; conversely, imaging can be crucial for understanding the
kinematic and dynamical behavior of a galaxy.
