On position angle errors in the Tremaine-Weinberg method.
DEBATTISTA V.P.
Abstract (from CDS):
I also consider how the systematic PAdiscerrors produced by disc ellipticities affect TW measurements. The scatter produced by these errors may be significant, depending on the ellipticity distribution. Conversely, by using the sample of TW observations, I find that an upper limit of the typical disc (density) ellipticity is 0.07 at the 90 per cent confidence level, which is in good agreement with previous measurements.
Taken together, the random and systematic scatter suggest that the intrinsic distribution of {formmu1} of gas-poor early-type barred galaxies may be as narrow as that of the gas-rich later types.
