JWST/NIRCam imaging and Keck/MOSDEF spectroscopy identify COSMOS-74706 as an unlensed barred spiral galaxy at z_spec=3.159, with the bar confirmed via residuals, ellipse fitting, and Fourier modes.
Bar pattern speeds anti-correlate with stellar and total dynamical mass in 30 galaxies, placing the slowest bars in the most massive systems and supporting angular momentum transfer to dark matter.
A stellar bar is detected in the gas-rich galaxy GN20 at z=4.055, showing that gas-rich disks can support rapid stellar bar formation in the early universe.
A galaxy at z=3.16 has a bar with older stars making up 30% of its mass but only 8% of its recent star formation, supporting inside-out galaxy formation and possible early bar quenching.
Barred galaxies transition from actively star-forming at z~1-2 to quiescent at z~0, with the fraction of quiescent galaxies hosting bars increasing steeply over cosmic time.
ELMA automates projected bar-length estimation from galaxy images via iterative elliptical isophote fitting that locates the semi-major axis at peak ellipticity.
