A slow bar in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 3741
  Using the Tremaine-Weinberg method, we measure the speed of the HI bar seen
in the disk of NGC 3741. NGC 3741 is an extremely gas rich galaxy with an
{H\,{\sc i}} disk which extends to about 8.3 times its Holmberg radius. It is
also highly dark matter-dominated. Our calculated value of the pattern speed
$\Omega_p$ is 17.1 $\pm$ 3.4 km $\textrm{s}^{-1}\textrm{kpc}^{-1}$. We also
find the ratio of the co-rotation radius to the bar semi-major axis to be (1.6
$\pm$ 0.3), indicating a slow bar. This is consistent with bar models in which
dynamical friction results in a slow bar in dark matter dominated galaxies.
