We measured the bar pattern speed in a sample of 7 SB0 galaxies using the Tremaine-Weinberg method. This represents the largest sample of galaxies for which the bar pattern speed has been measured this way. All the observed bars are as rapidly rotating as they can be. We compared this result with recent high-resolution N-body simulations of bars in cosmologically-motivated dark matter halos, and conclude that these bars are not located inside centrally concentrated halos.
