Scientific paper

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.
