Abstract
We measured the bar pattern speed, Vp, of the SB0 galaxy NGC 1023 using the Tremaine– Weinberg method with stellar-absorption slit spectroscopy. The morphology and kinematics of the H I gas outside NGC 1023 suggest it suffered a tidal interaction, sometime in the past, with one of its dwarf companions. At present, however, the optical disc is relaxed. If the disc had been stabilized by a massive dark matter halo and formed its bar in the interaction, then
the bar would have to be slow. We found Vp ¼ 5:0 ^ 1:8 km s21 arcsec21, so that the bar ends
near its corotation radius. It is therefore rotating rapidly and must have a maximum disc.
