The pith

Bars rotate more slowly in galaxies with higher stellar and total mass.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Simulations predict galactic bars should slow down over time by transferring angular momentum to the outer disc and dark matter halo. This study tests the prediction with direct measurements in 30 MaNGA galaxies, pairing Tremaine-Weinberg bar pattern speeds with dynamical mass estimates from Jeans anisotropic models. The observations show a statistically significant anti-correlation exceeding 4 sigma between bar pattern speed and both stellar mass and total dynamical mass. The trend with dark matter mass is negative but falls short of the same significance threshold, while slower bars also appear in systems with more extended NFW halos of lower central density.

Core claim

The paper reports a statistically significant anti-correlation (>4 sigma) between bar pattern speed and both stellar mass and total dynamical mass in 30 MaNGA galaxies, indicating that the slowest bars reside in the most massive systems. The slope with dark matter mass is negative but reaches only 2.43 sigma. Bars with lower pattern speeds show more extended NFW dark matter profiles with lower central densities, and corotation radius correlates positively with stellar, dark matter, and total mass at >3 sigma significance. No significant relations appear with dark matter fraction or the R parameter.

What carries the argument

Bar pattern speed measured by the Tremaine-Weinberg method on stellar velocity fields, compared to host galaxy stellar and dynamical masses obtained from Jeans anisotropic modeling.

If this is right

  • Slower bars are found in galaxies with higher stellar mass.
  • Total dynamical mass shows a similar anti-correlation with bar pattern speed.
  • Corotation radius increases with stellar mass, dark matter mass, and total dynamical mass.
  • Bars with lower pattern speeds have more extended NFW dark matter profiles with lower central densities.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If confirmed in larger samples, bar kinematics could serve as an indirect probe of dark matter halo structure across galaxy populations.
  • Simulations of bar evolution may need to reproduce this specific mass dependence to match the observed angular momentum transfer rates.
  • Future integral-field surveys could test whether the weaker dark matter mass trend strengthens once measurement uncertainties on halo parameters are reduced.

Load-bearing premise

The Tremaine-Weinberg method accurately recovers true bar pattern speeds in the selected MaNGA galaxies without major biases from non-steady-state effects, dust, or other dynamical complications.

What would settle it

A larger sample of galaxies with independently measured bar pattern speeds that shows no anti-correlation with stellar or total dynamical mass would falsify the reported relation.

read the original abstract

Simulations predict that bars in galaxies should slow down over time. This is often attributed to the exchange of angular momentum between the bar and other regions of the galaxy, such as the outer disc and dark matter halo, which implies that galaxies with a more massive halo or disc should be able to slow down the bar more efficiently. However, observational evidence for this process has been limited. In this work, we provide observational support for the slowing down of bars as predicted by simulations. We combine bar kinematics measurements obtained with the Tremaine-Weinberg method and host galaxy mass estimates derived from Jeans anisotropic models for a sample of 30 galaxies from the MaNGA survey. We find a statistically significant anti-correlation (>4sigma) between the bar pattern speed and both the stellar and total dynamical mass, which suggests that the slowest bars reside in the most massive galaxies. However, while the slope of the best-fit line between the pattern speed and dark matter mass is negative, it is not statistically significant (2.43sigma). We also find that bars with lower pattern speeds have more extended NFW dark matter profiles with lower central densities. Additionally, we find statistically significant correlations (>3sigma) between the corotation radius and the stellar mass, dark matter mass, and total dynamical mass. Finally, we find no significant correlations that involve the dark matter fraction or R, likely due to the inherent challenges associated with measuring these specific parameters accurately.

Referee Report

3 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper analyzes bar pattern speeds measured via the Tremaine-Weinberg method and galaxy masses from Jeans anisotropic models in a sample of 30 MaNGA galaxies. It reports a >4σ anti-correlation between bar pattern speed and both stellar and total dynamical mass (suggesting slower bars in more massive systems), a weaker 2.43σ trend with dark matter mass, correlations (>3σ) between corotation radius and the mass measures, and no significant trends with dark matter fraction or R.

Significance. If robust, the result supplies direct observational evidence supporting simulation predictions that bars lose angular momentum to the disc and halo, thereby slowing over time; the mass-dependent trend and NFW profile correlations would help bridge the gap between theory and observation in bar dynamics.

major comments (3)
  1. [Section 3 (Tremaine-Weinberg measurements)] The central >4σ anti-correlation with stellar mass (and the weaker DM result) rests on TW-derived pattern speeds; the manuscript does not present quantitative tests (e.g., mock IFU data with mass-dependent dust or non-steady flows) to show that any mass-dependent bias in recovered Ω_bar is smaller than the observed trend.
  2. [Section 4.2 (correlation results)] The reported 2.43σ DM-mass correlation versus >4σ stellar-mass correlation is load-bearing for the claim that halo drag is the dominant mechanism; the paper should propagate the full covariance between stellar and DM mass estimates from the JAM modeling into the correlation significance.
  3. [Section 2 (sample selection)] With N=30, the selection function for MaNGA barred galaxies (bar strength, inclination, S/N) must be shown not to correlate with mass; otherwise the anti-correlation could arise from Malmquist-like bias rather than dynamical evolution.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 (pattern-speed vs. mass panels) lacks error bars on the x-axis (mass uncertainties) and does not indicate the Spearman or Pearson coefficient with its p-value.
  2. [Abstract] The abstract states significance levels but does not specify the exact correlation coefficient or test; this should be added for reproducibility.

We thank the referee for the constructive and detailed report. We address each major comment below and will revise the manuscript to strengthen the analysis and robustness of the results.

  1. Referee: [Section 3 (Tremaine-Weinberg measurements)] The central >4σ anti-correlation with stellar mass (and the weaker DM result) rests on TW-derived pattern speeds; the manuscript does not present quantitative tests (e.g., mock IFU data with mass-dependent dust or non-steady flows) to show that any mass-dependent bias in recovered Ω_bar is smaller than the observed trend.

    Authors: We agree that explicit validation against mass-dependent systematics in the TW method would strengthen the central result. The revised manuscript will include quantitative tests using mock IFU data that incorporate mass-dependent dust extinction and non-steady flows, confirming that any resulting bias in recovered Ω_bar remains smaller than the observed >4σ trend. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Section 4.2 (correlation results)] The reported 2.43σ DM-mass correlation versus >4σ stellar-mass correlation is load-bearing for the claim that halo drag is the dominant mechanism; the paper should propagate the full covariance between stellar and DM mass estimates from the JAM modeling into the correlation significance.

    Authors: We accept that the full covariance between stellar and dark matter mass estimates from the JAM models must be propagated to obtain accurate correlation significances. The revised Section 4.2 will incorporate the complete covariance matrix from the JAM fits, which will refine the reported 2.43σ and >4σ values and provide a more robust basis for interpreting the relative roles of stellar and halo drag. revision: yes

  3. Referee: [Section 2 (sample selection)] With N=30, the selection function for MaNGA barred galaxies (bar strength, inclination, S/N) must be shown not to correlate with mass; otherwise the anti-correlation could arise from Malmquist-like bias rather than dynamical evolution.

    Authors: We agree that verifying the absence of mass-dependent selection effects is essential for a sample of this size. The revised manuscript will include an explicit check demonstrating that bar strength, inclination, and S/N show no significant correlation with galaxy mass within the MaNGA barred-galaxy selection, thereby indicating that the observed anti-correlation is not driven by Malmquist-like bias. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; results from independent data and standard methods

full rationale

The paper applies the established Tremaine-Weinberg method to MaNGA IFU observations for bar pattern speeds and uses Jeans anisotropic models for dynamical masses, then reports statistical correlations between these independently measured quantities. No derivation step reduces a claimed prediction to a fitted input by construction, no load-bearing self-citation chain is present, and no ansatz or uniqueness claim is smuggled in via prior author work. The central anti-correlation findings are direct statistical outputs from the survey data rather than tautological re-expressions of the inputs.
