Description
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.

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
